In a delightful twist, fans of Gossip Girl were treated to a mini-reunion between two of the show’s most beloved stars at the Screenwriters Guild Awards on Sunday.
Kristen Bell, who famously narrated the series, and Leighton Meester, known for her role as the iconic Blair Waldorf, made an unexpected appearance together, sending fans into a frenzy.
The moment quickly became a talking point on social media, with viewers sharing their excitement and thoughts about the reunion.
Kristen Bell Channels Gossip Girl at the Awards Show
During the awards ceremony, Kristen Bell once again slipped into her famous Gossip Girl persona, providing commentary over the loudspeaker.
As the camera panned to the crowd, Bell’s voice echoed, revealing playful “gossip” about the stars in attendance.
rom Jeff Goldblum’s “wicked appetite” to Timothée Chalamet’s meal choices, Bell’s narration had fans reminiscing about the drama-filled days of the Gossip Girl series.
The real highlight came when Bell crouched next to Meester’s table, reading jokes off her phone.
The two shared a lighthearted exchange, with Bell joking that “none of this is gossip, it’s just all about food.”
Meester, munching on a bread roll, responded with a grin, saying she was simply “really hungry.”
The pair shared a moment of camaraderie as Bell joked that even the popes in Conclave were better at gossiping than them.
Fans Celebrate the “Uprising” of Leighton Meester
As soon as the reunion aired, fans flocked to social media to express their thoughts.
Many couldn’t help but notice the shift in Hollywood, with one user writing, “The uprising of Leighton Meester amidst the downfall of Blake Lively.”
Others referenced the Gossip Girl characters themselves, joking about the different paths their onscreen counterparts took. “Blair always played the long game.
Serena was always looking for a quickie,” one fan wrote, alluding to the rivalry between Meester’s Blair and Lively’s Serena.
One fan humorously quipped, “Spotted: S slipping out of the spotlight while B basks in it.
Looks like Queen B’s reign is far from over. Sorry, S — fame is fleeting, but royalty is forever.”
The playful nod to the Gossip Girl dynamic had many reminiscing about the show’s golden days, while also celebrating Meester’s continued success.
Leighton Meester’s Growing Hollywood Success

However, this awards season, the couple has been making appearances together, with Brody expressing his admiration for his wife during his acceptance speech at the 2025 Critics Choice Awards.
“My darling, darling, darling wife Leighton, thank you for sharing this life with me,” Brody gushed, showing his love and support for Meester.
A New Chapter for Meester and Brody
As Meester continues to receive recognition for her work, both in film and television, she and Brody have proven themselves to be one of Hollywood’s favorite couples.
Fans are excited to see what’s next for the pair, especially as Meester’s role in Nobody Wants This continues to draw attention.
