Gossip Girl's Blake Lively and Leighton Meester swap skyscraper heels for wellies as wet weather hits NYC

Gossip Girls: Leighton Meester and Blake Lively wear Wellingtons while filming in NYC due to the wet weather


New York City's wet weather has been playing havoc on these Gossip Girls’ footwear and their usual skyscraper Christian Louboutins were replaced with black rubber Wellingtons in-between filming .

As torrential rain was finally replaced with sunshine, Blake Lively and Leighton Meester got back to work in the Upper East Side to film the show's new season but were still plagued by soaked pavements.

Just days ago, Penn Badgley was snapped pushing around a pram, spoiling his character’s fate in the upcoming season, and yesterday Blake and Leighton were the latest cast members to be seen on location.

And by the looks of Meester’s bra-less trouser-suit, the cold weather was getting the better of the star, who plays bitchy schemer Blair Waldorf on the hit series.

The 24-year-old's hectic schedule left her yawning away as she strolled the streets with her co-star Blake, who plays serial heart breaker Serena Van Der Woodsen.

Despite a cold snap in the Big Apple, the girls still debuted their summer wardrobes and in-between takes quickly changed into flat flip flops to rest their feet from four-inch heels.

The blonde actress showed off her incredible figure in denim shorts, before changing into a pink and brown mini-dress with matching accessories.

While Leighton soon swapped her black strapless trouser-suit for a leopard print dress.

The 'BFFs' had only recently flown back to the US after a filming stint in Paris, where the pair got caught up in a cat fight which ended with Meester’s character pushing Blake into a fountain.

Off screen the girls have battled rumours of fighting too and a source told Us magazine that Blake and Leighton had ‘been fighting since last season’.
The source added: ‘Their rivalry stems from Leighton feeling left out of wardrobe decisions.’

But despite recent gossip, the co-stars seemed to be getting along during filming yesterday and showed no signs of a feud.

A dishevelled-looking Chace Crawford, who plays Nate Archibald, also joined in on the scene, acting alongside Blake, who his character dated in the last series.

The teen drama, which is based on the book series written by Cecily von Ziegesar, will return to our screens later this year.
