This time of year, everyone is offering their predictions about 2024 fashion trends. My fellow Who What Wear colleagues, for instance, have weighed in with their own opinions on what will and won't make it to the New Year. Everything is certainly subjective, but I have a strong feeling that Leighton Meester's newest look just proved that one trend has major staying power: rosettes.

Photographed on the red carpet at a holiday party for Freevee and Amazon Prime, Meester wore Silvia Tcherassi's Daniela Gown ($1020), complete with a stunning 3D floral appliqué front and center. We've been talking about the rosette trend all year long—remember Zendaya's rose-festooned dress at the SAG Awards back in February? Meester's fantastic interpretation of the trend has proved that rosettes will not be expiring in 2024. Scroll down to see her new look and shop the trend for yourself.

Erin Fitzpatrick
Senior News Editor

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 12 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of senior news editor (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
