Hailee Steinfeld has more than just an Oscar nomination under her 14 year-old belt. The “True Grit” star (or her stylist) has an impeccable eye for age-appropriate fashion without looking like early Dakota Fanning. From Marchesa to Prada, the girl knows how to work a dress and carry herself like the young lady she is.

Hailee was put on multiple best dressed looks for this ensemble and Vogue’s Andre Leon Talley raved about how this was his favorite look. Do I smell a cover in the near future!?

Hailee was given the opportuanity to help design her Oscar dress with Marchesa designer, Georgina Chapman. She wanted something tulle, tea-length, and a “dusty English rose” color. She got her wish and fashion critics everywhere did too.

The neckline, the hair, the simple accessories, this combination is unexpectedly young and fresh on the actress.

After sporting Prada at the SAG awards and sitting front row at Miu Miu during Paris fashion week, there has been a lot of buzz about Hailey being the new face of the line but nothing has been confirmed—yet!

If you have yet to see this film, go see it. She may even be a bigger badass than Jeff Bridges...

Fashionable Fruit: In Season

As I was flipping through the March “Power Issue” of Vogue, I came to their “FLASH” section and a giant banana caught my eye. It was a blown up image of an earring from Prada’s Spring collection.

Prints featuring floral or tribal zigzags come in and out but fruit!? I guess if Miuccia Prada says so...                            

Citrus fruits were reflected across garments on Stella McCartney’s designs at Paris fashion week.

This look can easily become overwhelming but if simplified and downplayed a little, it can be somewhat...refreshing.
