A member of “Manhattan's elite” will soon be the face of Missoni.

According to E!, CW star Leighton Meester has scored a deal with the Italian fashion house.

A source claims Meester’s connection to the brand would make the actress -- who has worn a number of questionable outfits lately, including the one above – to be more “high-end like Blake.” (It was recently announced that Leighton’s Gossip Girl costar, Blake Lively, had been picked to front Chanel.)

Leighton – who is also the face of a new Vera Wang fragrance – will appear in new Missoni ads sometime early next year. In the meantime, she can been seen opposite Gwyneth Paltrow in Country Strong. That film opens nationwide on January 7.
