Hailee Steinfeld says being named as the face of Miu Miu was “really huge”

By Andrea Petrou on October 11th, 2011

Hailee Steinfeld says being named as the face of Miu Miu was “really huge”.

The ‘True Grit’ actress – who was recruited by the Italian fashion house in May at the age of just 14 – explained while fronting a campaign for the label is “an honour”, she had only just started to learn about fashion when she took on the role.

She said: “Just going from about a year-and-a-half ago, when I was doing the press for ‘True Grit’ and the awards circuit and learning about the different designers and getting to wear them, and having Miu Miu be one of my favourites – then having something the campaign come along was really huge for me.

“It’s been an honour. It has been so much fun. I have had such a blast getting to know everyone that works with the brand.”

Hailee admitted she is enjoying working in the industry so much that she is even considering a career in the future as a fashion blogger.

She added in an interview with Fashionista.com: “Fashion has become a big part of my life. I’d like to start blogging about something to do with fashion and then I’d go into a bajillion different things. But yeah, fashion seems like a really great thing to write about.”

Is it just us here at ShinyStyle, or is all the talent in Hollywood getting younger and younger? Justin Bieber has had a film made about him when his voice hasn’t even broken yet, Willow Smith is storming the charts at age 11 and we’ve just realised that not only is the teenage True Grit star Hailee Steinfeld an amazing actress, but she’s already got a Hollywood wardrobe good enough to rival any older actress’.

We love that unlike other young girls in the limelight like Miley Cyrus, who have already gone down the vomit-inducing sexy route with tight dresses and big hair, Hailee closely follows the trends and wears what suits her. The 14-year old actress has already developed a strong sense of her own style, combining romantic cocktail dresses with fiercely high heels and vintage-inspired prim blouses and power-pencil skirts.

We especially adored her outfit that she wore to the Academy Awards this year, as she donned a gently sparkling peach chiffon 50s prom dress with nude satin peeptoe heels and an elegant updo for an outfit that wouldn’t have looked out of place at a couture gala sixty years ago.

Miu Miu are particularly fond of young Hailee – maybe it’s because she’s always spotted wearing their designs, or maybe it’s just because she’s a pretty young thing, but she’s now the face of their new campaign. Jealous? Us? Naaaah.

Hailee Steinfeld named as the new face of Miu Miu.

By Andrea Petrou on May 17th, 2011

Hailee Steinfeld has been named as the new face of Miu Miu.

The 14-year-old ‘True Grit’ star will front the Italian fashion house’s autumn/winter campaign after being introduced to executives from the brand at the Screen Actors Guild awards earlier this year.

A representative for the brand’s sister label Prada said: “I can confirm Hailee Steinfeld has been shot to appear in the new Miu Miu fall/winter 2011 campaign.”

Hailee’s stylist, Karla Welch told the website Daily Beast: “We formed a relationship with them at the SAG Awards.

“Miu Miu is such a perfect fit for her. Throughout awards season, they were the dresses she wanted to wear.”

Academy Award nominee Hailee – who wore Miu Miu to a number of events during awards season including a Miss Golden Globe party in December, the SAG Awards in January and the BAFTA Awards in February – follows in the footsteps of actresses Kirsten Dunst and Lindsay Lohan who have previously appeared in campaigns for the label.

She was also spotted at the Paris Fashion Week Miu Miu show in March with fellow Oscar nominee Jennifer Lawrence.
