Oscar nominee Hailee Steinfeld has been named the new face of Miu Miu.
No further details have been announced, but it’s assumed that the gorgeous young actress will front advertisements for Prada’s spin-off label. There’s no denying Steinfeld’s fashion credentials, as she’s been a regular fixture in best dressed lists since her break-out role in True Grit. She never puts a foot wrong on the red carpet, and that should hold her in good stead as she steps into the modeling world.
But on the other hand, she’s just 14 years old. Miu Miu’s other famous faces, including Katie Holmes, Kirsten Dunst, and Chloe Sevigny, have all been significantly older. Do you think she’s too young for the job?
I’m just not sure. Miu Miu has always had a youthful energy, but it’s still an adult line. One of the things I’ve always admired about Steinfeld is her age-appropriate approach to fashion. I’d hate to see her styled beyond than her years, but I’m not sure that teen fashion is the direction Miu Miu should head.
Do you think Hailee Steinfeld and Miu Miu are a match made in heaven, or would you have preferred the Italian label to go in another direction?
