It’s clear Meester, who has played Blair for the duration Gossip Girl’s six year running, is completely ready to move on from the high maintenance character and chopped her hair to show it!
The actress revealed her new choppy above-the-shoulder bob at a Flaunt Magazine party in California on Thursday.
Last month, the 26-year-old starlet hinted she might change up her character’s signature long, wavy locks after the show finished filming.
“I haven’t really been able to change my hair for six years — and I used to do it all the time,”
“So I think if the mood strikes me, I’ll cut my hair or dye it or try different things,” she said.
Although she’s finally made the cut we’re thinking a new colour may still be on the cards, especially since Meester is in fact a natural blonde.
Meester isn’t the only star to make such a drastic hair change after filming ceases. Harry Potter starlet Emma Watson who played Hermione Granger on the renowned film series also chopped her hair into a pixie cut after wrapping up the final film, admitting the drastic change was satisfying and liberating.

The renowned singer paid a whopping $12,000 for a female goldendoodle puppy this week at the Pencils of Promise Gala in New York City.
After loosing out on taking home the puppy featured at last year’s gala event, being outbid by a family who ended up naming the pooch Usher, the R&B singer was determined to win this time round.
So when his initial bid of $10,000 was topped by fellow gala attendee Jessica Szhor, who placed an $11,000 bid, Usher refusing to be outdone two years in a row placing a $12,000 bid to win the pooch.
The lavish expenditure on the pup is well justified however, with the proceeds raising money to build schools for underprivileged children around the world.
