(Cover) - EN Star Style - Leighton Meester loves her Michelle Perry shoe-boots although they really hurt.

The 24-year-old has become one of Hollywoods most adored style icons since she shot to fame playing Blair Waldorf in hit US teen drama Gossip Girl, about a group of beautiful youngsters living in New York.

The show famously features an incredible wardrobe department, with designers flocking to have their creations on the programme.

Fashion-lover Leighton admits she sometimes borrows some of her character Blairs costumes, with one of her favourite pieces being a gorgeous pair of shoe-boots made by Michelle Perry.

I totally jacked these Michelle Perry booty shoes with gold heels that I wore on the show," revealed the star.

The only problem with the killer heels is that Leighton struggles not to fall over in them. The beautiful actress finds them rather uncomfortable, but remains dedicated to the old mantra that pain is beauty.

"They are so sexy and hot and believe it or not I wore them in a scene where I went to church. The only thing is now I can't walk in them. They really hurt! But still I love them," she gushed. (C) Cover Media
