Sara Waisglass and Leighton Meester are not related to each other but they sure look like each other. Leighton is who Sara reminds her fans of.

They both are celebrities and are from the entertainment industry. Although they both are successful in their career, they both have their own stories of struggle.

Sara is a Canadian actress known for her role as Frankie in the children's sitcom Overruled. As Maxine, she gained more popularity with her appearance in the Netflix comedy series Ginny and Georgia in 2021.

She made her television debut at a very young age in 2007 in The Jane Show as eight years old Jane. Since her first appearance, she has been continuously featured in different shows.

How Does Sara And Leighton Looks Alike?

Sara Waisglass and Leighton Meester are celebrities who look alike but are not related to each other. They both are actors.

Many of their fans think they are connected. However, they both have already said they are unrelated. Both celebrities share the same facial structure, which is why people get confused.

They indeed bear some resemblance to one another, a striking resemblance. But some differences can be cited and are enough to the contrast between them.

They are some years apart to start with. Sara was born on July 3, 1998, while Leighton was on April 9, 1986, which makes Sara 12 years younger than her. However, they both share the same height of 1.65 m.

Their appearance is the only factor that many people get hung up on. Although they look similar, Meester seems a bit older and has a smaller face than Waisglass. Leighton looks like more of a homebody than Sara, even if the opposite is true.

However, their eyes, facial shapes, and bodies are proportioned in a way to be different and also gives a very different impression. Even the way they smile, stand, and move is similar.

But some fans think they look alike. One of the fans on Twitter posted a post and captioned, "so you're telling me that Leighton Meester, Sara Waisglass, and Gage Golightly aren't all related?" He also mentioned how they looked like Gage and uploaded their picture.
