US Harper’s Bazaar September 2009 is covered by actress Leighton Meester shot by Terry Richardson [on stands August 18th].

Here are some Gossip Girl‘s interview quotes:

On the alleged sex tape:

“[The tape] is not real, so it makes me sort of sad. It’s unfortunate that it got carried as far as it did… I definitely understand the nature of people better now and that the mere allegation of something like that could be headline news. People think it’s real because somebody says it is.”

On the pitfalls of fame:

I don’t want most of what comes along with all of this. I’m doing everything I can to keep things separate. I feel like my friends are in a cult because we’re like, No outsiders! I’ve never been crazy. I’m a very good girl, to be honest. I don’t do anything to hurt anybody. Honestly, all I ever do is work.”

On aging and Botox:

“Any fear of aging, I think, is simply vanity because what comes with age is so many wonderful things: wisdom, understanding. Every year, I’m always happy to be done with the previous age. If people want [to get Botox], do it.”

Co-star Ed Westwick on meeting Leighton for the first time: “

The first thing I thought when I met Leighton was, F—ing hell, this girl’s gorgeous. And she was incredibly sweet. Now we tell each other to f— off whenever we want to.”

Leighton models the looks of the fall season for every age group.

My favorite part [about growing older] is not knowing what to expect. I never want to lose interest or passion for fashion.”

She pairs a sexy little black dress with shining flowing hair for stylish chic view and then moves into the heavy hitters for a classic looks by Chanel, Donna Karan and Louis Vuitton.

And the result – Leighton going from gorgeous to over the top glamourous.
