Hailee Steinfeld to represent Miu Miu, is she too young at 14?

Hailee Steinfeld, the 14 year-old Oscar nominee and True Grit star, has been named the new face of Miu Miu. She’ll probably do some print ads and be done with this, but this story bothers me. She’s so young and it just seems wrong to pluck a girl barely out of puberty and have her model. It happens all the time, I know, but we’ve gotten to know Hailee on her press tour and she’s so smart yet innocent somehow. I just want her to act and focus on school and not get involved in all this modeling and brand representation business.

Hailee Steinfeld is quickly becoming one of the most sought-after girls in Hollywood. The 14-year-old Oscar nominee has been named the new face of Miu Miu, Prada’s younger line, the fashion house announced Monday.

The True Grit star has stepped out in the brand on a number of occasions, including the BAFTA Awards in February, the SAG Awards in January and a Miss Golden Globe event in December.

Steinfeld even joined fellow Oscar nominee Jennifer Lawrence, 20, at the luxe line’s runway show during Paris Fashion Week in March.

Kaiser reminded me that Hailee went to fashion week to the Miu Miu show and as this article mentions she’s worn the brand to The BAFTAs, The SAG Awards and another event. Hailee has a quirky sense of style, and Miu Miu caters to that. I’d rather see her do an ad for neutrogena or something, but she’s better than that and she’s earned a big high fashion modeling contract. I wish I could be happy for her, but I’m just kind of wary. It’s the mom in me.
