OpenLEIGHTON MEESTER RETURNS
Leighton Meester returns for GODIVA’s centennial celebration, once again embodying the spirit of Lady Godiva.
For 100 years, GODIVA has been part of life’s most meaningful moments, elevating celebrations, creating memories, and adding a sense of wonder to the everyday. At the heart of its Centennial is a 2D animated film, marking the first time a premium chocolate brand has brought its story to life in this way.
The film weaves together decades of celebration through a series of emotive, era-spanning vignettes, each reflecting the moments where GODIVA has added its signature touch. Narrated by and starring Leighton Meester, who reprises her role as a modern embodiment of Lady Godiva, the character appears throughout time—serving as a constant, uplifting presence across generations.
Produced by The Line Studio and directed by Sam Taylor, the film is a tribute to the role GODIVA has played not just as a chocolate, but as a part of the moments that matter most, bringing beauty, indulgence, and a sense of occasion to every celebration.
