Hailee Steinfeld is the New Face of Miu Miu

Hailee Steinfeld, who has worn designer frocks on the red carpet with more aplomb than actresses twice her age, is now the new face of Miu Miu. Prada reps and Steinfeld's stylist Karla Welch both confirmed this to various media sources on Monday. Welch told the Daily Beast, "Miu Miu is such a perfect fit for her. Throughout awards season, they were the dresses she wanted to wear.” The Fall/Winter 2011 campaign has already been shot, but no details are available about it. The 14-year-old pretty quickly won the respect of the fashion industry with her sophisticated yet entirely age appropriate red carpet choices.

Steinfeld is the youngest ever face of the brand, and she joins Katie Holmes, Evan Rachel Wood, Vanessa Paradis and Lindsay Lohan in the ranks of former Miu Miu muses. Let's hope Steinfeld fares better than LiLo. She's certainly already a better dresser. (We'll let this sorta cute but sorta cringeworthy K-Mart commercial she did in 2009 slide.)

Kudos to Hailee for her new endeavor. We can't wait to see what she wears next awards season.

Hailee Steinfeld's Miu Miu Ad Deemed 'Irresponsible' in the UK Because She's Sitting on Train Tracks

The UK's Advertising Standards Agency (ASA) must be really bored or something this month. First they pulled Dakota Fanning's Marc Jacobs Oh Lola ad because she was holding a huge bottle between her legs (we sort of get that one--SORT OF). They've now shifted their censoring sights to another American starlet, Hailee Steinfeld, who starred in that cute fall 2011 Miu Miu campaign. Or was it not cute at all, but secretly sinister?

Hailee Steinfeld for Miu Miu: Even More Campaign Images!

Apparently some people are upset that Hailee Steinfeld is just 14-years-old and starring in Miu Miu ads. We don't really get it, given the fact that Steinfeld looks adorable--not to mention, her age--in the photos. Plenty of models under the age of 18 work on big campaigns, and they're often tarted up. Miu Miu's campaigns are not only some of the most tasteful out there, they're also the most compelling. If Steinfeld is deemed old enough to star in movies that work her to the bone and pay her more than what most of us make in a year, then she's old enough to pose in clothes that she loves.

PARIS--At Miu Miu's fall 2011 show this afternoon the label attracted a bevy of A-list starlets to their front row: Mila Kunis, Ginnifer Goodwin, Jennifer Lawrence, and reigning new princess of our best dressed lists, Hailee Steinfeld. The 15-year-old best supporting actress nominee--who is styled by the fabulous duo of Kemal & Karla--exploded onto the scene with her role in True Grit, and has proven that she's got the style savvy to back up her newly minted status as starlet-in-demand wearing Miu Miu, Prada and Prabal Gurung dresses on the red carpet that are adorable and gasp, age appropriate too.
