“It’s come a long way!” Tyra Banks (in Claudia Diaz) declared as she surveyed the action at the 13th Day of Indulgence party, held at the home of producer Jennifer Klein in Los Angeles. “The first year we took home a Chinese to-go box filled with candy and lip gloss. Now you need a ski lodge-sized bag!” In fact, Banks and fellow guests like Jennifer Garner, Miley Cyrus and Hailee Steinfeld each needed two large totes to haul away the fashion and beauty booty gifted by brands like Sultra, Super by Dr. Nicholas Perricone, Skull Candy, The Four Seasons Lanai and AMC Entertainment during the annual day of pop-up shopping.

Miu Miu‘s newest face Hailee Steinfeld absolutely loves the feeling of modeling for luxury label, as she told us at Miu Miu’s Beverly Hills bash last night. “It’s really, really fun,” the 14-year-old said of her new fashion experience. “I’ve gotten calls from a lot of my friends, and my friends’ moms!” Inside, Steinfeld caught up with Camilla Belle, a previous Miu Miu model herself. “The first campaign I ever shot in my life was Miu Miu,” Belle said. “I was 17, so it’s always been an extremely special brand for me.” See Ashley Tisdale, Diane Kruger, and more lovely ladies celebrating Miu Miu in the gallery.

Hailee Steinfeld’s first ad campaign for Miu Miu debuted last week, and now there’s more! In one new photo, the typically smiley 14-year-old channeled her inner tough girl to strike a stern pose for the brand lounging in a grassy Miami field. She paired a floral sleeved below-the-knee dress with mauve and gold glittering shoes for her look. On why Miu Miu designer Miuccia Prada chose the actress:

“She is a girl with the stature to carry these mature and elegant silhouettes, while still remaining true to her youthful spirit. It is this timeless exuberance in attitude and strength of character that is found in all Miu Miu women.”

And Steinfeld is thrilled with her new gig. “It’s so much fun to have the chance to work with such a gifted designer and wear these incredible clothes,” Steinfeld said in a statement. “I feel so lucky to be a part of it.” See another photo of Steinfeld’s luxury campaign—lounging in neutrals on train tracks—after the jump.

Hailee Steinfeld’s first ad campaign for Miu Miu is here! The 14-year-old Oscar-nominated actress traveled down to Miami for the shoot, where she posed in a black bird-print blouse, matching skirt, and great accessories, like an oversize clutch, metallic booties, and shades. “It’s really going to hit a lot of girls,” the future Sleeping Beauty told InStyle of her campaign at the Young Hollywood Awards last month. “It will appeal to a wide age range, but I think a lot of girls are going to be into it.” As for why she loves the label? “When I first started I didn’t know any designers or anybody,” she explained. “But every time I put a dress on, I was like, ‘Is this Miu Miu?’ I always felt amazing in it. I love that it’s very unique and different.”

Hailee Steinfeld to Play Sleeping Beauty

Mar 30, 2011 @ 12:45 pm

Ever since Hailee Steinfeld shot to stardom with her Oscar-nominated role in True Grit, we were waiting with bated breath to find out what the former Guess model’s next project would be. Turns out, 14-year-old is heading to fairytale land! Steinfeld signed up for a new Sleeping Beauty movie, which will be a remake of the classic, reimagined to tell the tale from within her dream world and she has to “find her way out,” Deadline reports. And this isn’t the only enchanted legend to be remade, as new versions of Hansel & Gretel, Snow White, and Peter Pan are also in the works. While Steinfeld’s project is still pending—a studio has yet to buy the script, though she will star in it if sold—we took a look back at her rise on the red carpet, from rising newbie to style star. See more amazing photos of Hailee Steinfeld in the gallery.

Hailee Steinfeld Used to Model for Guess and Gap

Feb 24, 2011 @ 3:00 pm

We’re excited to see what True Grit star Hailee Steinfeld will wear to the Oscars this Sunday. Already the Best Supporting Actress nominee’s fashion choices have been admirable, wearing dresses by Prabal Gurung, Marc Jacobs, Prada, and Marchesa, to name a few. Turns out, she’s had good practice for red-carpet posing—Steinfeld started as a model! “I signed with a print agent before I signed with a theatrical agent, so I had been [modeling] for about a year before the acting really started to pick up for me,” she told Vanity Fair, adding that her first job was modeling for Gap. She also modeled for Guess Kids, and we got our hands on one her campaigns (check out an 11-year-old Steinfeld inset). Perhaps that’s when she first learned to love stripes!
