“Gossip Girl” star Leighton Meester is in Manila for a series of promotional activities for a local clothing line.
The 26-year-old American singer-actress arrived from Japan on board All Nippon Airways flight NH949 at 9:30 Friday night at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport terminal 3.
Wearing casual clothes and no makeup, Meester did not face the media as close-in security prevented reporters and cameramen from approaching her.
Dozens of fans also failed to meet her after waiting for her at NAIA terminal 1. They had received a tip that she was arriving from Narita on another flight.
Meester, who plays the privileged Manhattan socialite and fashion plate Blair Waldorf in the hit teen drama series “Gossip Girl”, is in the country to endorse the fashion retail brand Penshoppe.
She is the latest international celebrity and the second “Gossip Girl” star signed up by Penshoppe to its All-Stars roster, which includes Zac Efron, Ed Westwick, Mario Maurer, and “Vampire Diaries” star Ian Somerhalder, who arrived on May 19.
Meester is scheduled to do a photo shoot, hold a press conference, and grace the Penshoppe All-Stars show for the Philippine Fashion Week on Saturday at the SMX Convention Center.
