Leighton Meester: Golden Globes Presenter!

Leighton Meester carries her adorable pup through security at Los Angeles International Airport on Wednesday (January 5).

The 24-year-old actress caught a late-night flight after attending the People’s Choice Awards and making an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

Leighton told Jay how she celebrated the holidays, growing up on an island in Florida, and her Allure cover shoot.

Leighton will be returning to L.A. soon. She’s set to present at the Golden Globes on January 16!

FYI: Leighton is wearing a checkered black and white mini dress by Versace on The Tonight Show. At the airport, she wore an Autumn Cashmere cashmere beanie.
