mesquida gossip

This morning at Mr. Skin, something unexpected happened: Roxane Mesquida, a relatively obscure French actress, had suddenly shot up to the #1 most searched name on MrSkin.com. Above Natalie Portman, above Jennifer Aniston, above Jessica Alba. Now, we're not saying that the gorgeous and talented Ms. Mesquida (who has had a skintillating string of nude roles in French films like Sex is Comedy (2002) ) isn't worthy, we just weren't expecting a woman best known for appearing in the arty psychosexual dramas of Catherine Breillat to be such a hot topic all of a sudden.

Turns out Roxane has been cast on the CW series Gossip Girl as a new recurring character, a princess who is less than happy about Blair (Leighton Meester)'s impending wedding to her brother, Prince Louis. Could a catfight of royal proportions be in the works? Skin Central just hopes we get a pretty peek at Roxane and Leighton's Prada panties as they duke it out.

In other Gossip Girl nudes, Mr. Skin Nudity Hall-of-Famer Elizabeth Hurley has also joined the cast as Diana Payne, a sexy, self-made media mogul who shakes up the Gossip Girl world. Up the lovely Ms. Hurley's skirt, hopefully. Did we mention we're in it for the panties?

See much, much more of Gossip Girl princess (and our new Queen of Skin) Roxane Mesquida, including our brand-spanking new Roxane Mesquida's Best Nude Scenes playlist, right here on MrSkin.com!
