Harper’s Bazaar pulls a fast one on its subscriber’s next month.

The fashion mag has taken Gossip Girl beauty and its September issue cover girl Leighton Meester and, in a homage to the publication’s popular feature ‘Fabulous at Every Age’, aged her into what she’ll look like in her 50s! (See below.)

Says Leighton: “I do support Botox. If people want that, do it.” And she adds, “So much of your twenties can be wasted on insecurity and worrying about what others think.”

A few more highlights from her interview:

Leighton on the pitfalls of fame: “I don’t want most of what comes along with all of this. … 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.”

Leighton 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.”

Co-star Ed Westwick on meeting Leighton for the first time: “The first thing I thought when I met Leighton was, Fucking hell, this girl’s gorgeous. And she was incredibly sweet. Now we tell each other to fuck off whenever we want to.”
