MISSION®, the leading performance apparel and accessories brand with a singular focus on temperature control technologies, is excited to announce Oscar-nominated actress and Multi-Platinum recording artist Hailee Steinfeld as the face and spokesperson of their newly-launched women’s line of MISSION high-performance activewear.

Considered by many to be a triple threat with her award-winning acting, singing, and modeling, Hailee keeps her life and work in balance with hip hop dance and fitness workouts. Crediting dance as her go-to work out for a great sweat and all around full-body tone, fitness runs in Hailee’s family. Hailee’s father is an established fitness specialist to some of Hollywood’s elite. “I’ve always enjoyed dancing as a way to not only express myself and my music, but also as a great way to stay in shape,” said Hailee. “Dancing is a true full-body workout. It’s fun and it’s hard work!”

Signing the Hollywood mega-star is a significant milestone for MISSION, as Hailee will introduce and expose the brand to a more lifestyle-focused audience and fuel the brand’s goal to be at the center of sports, science and style.

“As a high-performance athletic brand, we look for partners who embody our same ethos, our same focus and our same maniacal commitment to winning, and Hailee truly embodies each one of those qualities in her life,” said Josh Shaw, Founder and CEO of MISSION. “Hailee is exceptional at her craft and truly an athlete in life at every level. From singing to acting to modeling, she lives an incredibly active, high-performance lifestyle and she knows the critical importance of balancing her work, life and fitness. As the first-ever Hollywood star to join the MISSION brand, I couldn’t be more excited to have Hailee join the team!”

“I’m really excited to work with MISSION to not only help design and develop an incredible line of great looking activewear and athletic apparel, but also to bring a brand to market that meets all my active lifestyle needs,” said Hailee. “I love the fact that I don’t have to compromise style and comfort in order to capitalize on the benefits of cutting edge temperature technologies in workout attire. I’ve grown up in an innovation generation, where speed, style and science work together seamlessly, and MISSION embodies the same philosophy.”

Sold on Amazon.com, DicksSportingGoods.com and MISSION.com, the new MISSION women’s apparel line features over 15 unique designs including training shirts, training shorts, sports bras, performance leggings, and a full range of tops, bottoms and compression styles for the ultimate in performance style. The new MISSION VaporActive women’s apparel line, powered by 37.5® technology offers permanent technology that won’t wash out, maximum dry rates that are up to five times faster than leading competitors, an unparalleled dry-cool experience and superior odor capture that lasts for the life of the apparel.

Hailee Steinfeld is not your average 20-year-old. She’s starring in the upcoming Pitch Perfect 3, was nominated for a Golden Globe this year, is the newest face of athletic clothing brand MISSION (co-founded by the Serena Williams), and has some of the best pipes we’ve ever heard (that cover of Ed Sheeran’s “Shape Of You” is untouchable). On top of her outstanding talents, Steinfeld is a beauty inspiration to her legions of fans.

If there’s a trend, she’s most likely already on it — without even knowing. Just scroll through her Instagram and your beauty bank will be heavily fed and stuffed with smoky eyes, “upside down” makeup, and two-toned looks like you wouldn’t believe. And while she may be younger than most of us, we couldn’t wait to pick her brain on her glam squad tips, summer beauty necessities, and that hair in The Edge of Seventeen.

If you had to run to Sephora right now and pick up three products, what would it be?
“I always need a new Beautyblender. I love using those. Some good highlighter and foundation. When it comes to Sephora I’m always trying to get new things because there are so many options.”

You just got back from Coachella, what was the one product you absolutely needed to survive this weekend?
“A face mist, like a rose water. Those are key. With the heat and the dust, it’s nice to have that on-hand just to feel refreshed.”

How has athleisure, like MISSION, worked its way into your everyday life and routine?
“I do a lot of working out and dancing, especially with performing and touring. Mission has worked its way into my life in that way, pretty much full-time. They have a cool mechanism built in that comes in handy when you’ve been dancing in an eight-hour rehearsal and you’re hot and uncomfortable. I love that the brand is stylish, cool, and that the color schemes are amazing.”

You’re busy and in front of the camera nonstop, what advice would you give someone your age looking to find the confidence you always radiate?
“I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: Find what it is that makes you happy. Find your light. Find something that you love and that you’re good at and that makes you feel great. I think oftentimes that’s where I feel most beautiful and most confident — when I’m doing something I love and feel comfortable doing.”

Everyone seems to be cutting their hair lately, would you ever consider chopping your signature look?
“I would and I have. It’s funny because I’ve actually never colored my hair and I’ve had this conversation multiple times where I’m like, ‘I don’t know if I want to start coloring it. I don’t know if I want to chop it off, but I do want something different.’ I don’t know what that is, it doesn’t leave me with many options. So yeah, I’m down…I think I’ll do it definitely soon, too.” Continue reading “Hailee Steinfeld Had To Wear A Wig For Her Last Role – & It Was A LOT To Take”

Get your tissues ready—the end of Pitch Perfect may be near.

“I think that people will cry,” Pitch Perfect screenwriter Kay Cannon says of the upcoming third installment of the hit Universal Pictures franchise. “I think it’s the end of the Bellas as we know them. If there’s a Pitch Perfect 4, it will be a new crop.”

Cannon didn’t say if a fourth film is in the works, but said, “I think they just know. I had the feeling when I visited set, it was like they were full of tears and like, ‘How much longer can we be singing a cappella?'”

Pitch Perfect 3 wrapped earlier this month.

American pop princess in the making and actress Hailee Steinfeld is currently working on her full-length studio album after the release of her debut EP “Haiz“, back in November. The album is expected to be released later this year via Republic Records.

American singer-songwriter and actress Hailee Steinfeld is about to impact the music scene with more new music after her recent collaboration with Machine Gun Kelly on his current single “At My Best”.

The next official single is called “Most Girls“, and it’s expected to impact US radios later this month. It’s also confirmed as another taste taken from her long-awaited full-length debut, which is expected to be launched sometime this year via Republic Records.

For such a carefree season, summer seems to come with an awful lot of rules, especially when it comes to fashion and beauty. You “have” to shave your legs. You can’t wear anything too casual (or revealing) at the office. And above all else, you *must* paint your toenails before putting on sandals.

But Hailee Steinfeld’s had enough, at least when it comes to the last (and biggest) “faux pas” on the list. The Cali girl and ambassador for REEF footwear told us that, hey—it’s perfectly fine to skip the pedi when rocking your flip flops. Of course, she explained it way better in her own words, so read on for Hailee’s full response, along with the wardrobe staple she says she wears way too much, and a bit of inside scoop from Pitch Perfect 3.

How she makes flip flops stylish:
“The beauty of flip-flops is you can put your own personal flair to them to either accentuate the color scheme of an outfit, dress them up or down, or add a playful vibe to your wardrobe. I’m often running between recording sessions and meetings where my outfit needs to be versatile, so a colorful REEF flip-flop with a dress and a bomber jacket would be a perfect ensemble.”

If it’s OK to wear flip flops and sandals without having a pedicure:
“I guess it depends. I’m a fan of pedicured toes at all times, but I’m not one to judge. If you’re spending days on end at a beach or playing sports and you’re going to be active, not having a pedicure seems perfectly reasonable to me. I tend to lean towards a soft pink for my toes unless I’m doing a shoot and I will wear whatever color is required to meet the production’s vision.”

The one item in her closet that she wears way too much:
“I have a pair of black sweatpants that have stood by me for years. They are always in my bag, at arms length, and even if I wore them everyday, I wouldn’t think it’s too much!”

The summer trend she hopes never goes out of style—and the one she hopes does:
“A perfect fitting jean short is a staple that I look forward to [wearing] when it starts to get warm. It’s also that time of year when neon tries to make a big comeback. I appreciate a bright color, but I don’t miss neon when it skips a season.”

How filming Pitch Perfect 3 is going:
“We have a lot of fun. With a large ensemble of women whose characters sing and dance, we feed off of each other’s energy, especially during a long night shoot. It’s hard work and we’re all committed to delivering an amazing movie.”

If she’s working on any new music at the moment:
“Yes, I am! I’m pulling double duty in Atlanta, shooting Pitch Perfect 3 and recording my album on the weekends. I also have a song that I’m featured on with Machine Gun Kelly that just dropped called ‘At My Best.’ I’m recording a new single now that I’m also really excited about.”

The cast of “Pitch Perfect 3” recently wrapped up their filming for the upcoming sequel.

On her Instagram account, Rebel Wilson shared a short video of herself with the main cast of “Pitch Perfect 3” hugging each other in a circle. Wilson also gave her co-stars a pep talk, saying that this is not the end for the Barden Bellas. Ana Camp posted a GIF on her Twitter account giving fans a kiss on their last filming day. Hailee Steinfeld couldn’t hold her laughter when she was photographed with Ruby Rose and several other guest stars from “Pitch Perfect 3.” Steinfeld, who was a newbie in “Pitch Perfect 2,” posted the snap on her Instagram account.

As of late, details about the main plot for “Pitch Perfect 3” are still being kept under wraps. But Entertainment Weekly revealed earlier this year that the filming, rehearsals and production mostly took place in Atlanta. The core Bellas will also return to the third installment. This includes Anna Kendrick, Wilson, Brittany Snow, Camp, Ester Dean, Chrissie Fit, Hana Mae Lee and Steinfeld.

Elizabeth Banks, who produced the first film and directed the second, will reprise her role as a cappella judge and mentor Gail. However, Banks did not direct “Pitch Perfect 3.” She handed off helming duties to Trish Sie. John Michael Higgins is also expected to return as John Smith, but his photos on set have not yet been leaked online.

Unfortunately, two male cast members from “Pitch Perfect” 1 and 2 will no longer return. Skylar Astin and Ben Platt, who played two members of Treblemakers, won’t be back. Some new cast members for Season 3 include Rose, whose role is still being kept a secret. She will be joined by Andy Allo and John Lithgow.

“Pitch Perfect 3” will hit theaters in the United States on Dec. 22.

Hailee Steinfeld, Noah Cyrus, Julia Michaels, and Grace VanderWaaal will all be hitting the stage at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on Saturday, April 29, for the awards ceremony. They’ll be joining Kelsea Ballerini, Alessia Cara, Jordan Fisher, and Train who were already previously announced earlier in March.

At the 2016 awards, we got to watch Hailee rock out to her hits “Love Myself” and “Rock Bottom,” but this year we’ll be treated to some of her newer work including “Starving,” which spent a whole four weeks in the number one spot on the Radio Disney top 30. She’s also nominated for two ARDYs, including “The Buzz — Best Breakout Artist” and “XOXO — Best Crush Song.”

Ryan Seacrest and iHeartMedia’s KIIS FM announced Friday that rapper Machine Gun Kelly, former Fifth Harmony singer Camilla Cabello and Academy Award nominee and singer Hailee Steinfeld will also hit the stage at the StubHub Center in Carson, California, on May 13.

Tickets for KIIS members go on sale March 31; tickets for the general public go on sale April 1.

Other performers include Halsey, Alessia Cara, Miley Cyrus’ young sister, Noah Cyrus, and Julia Michaels, the singer who has also co-written hit songs like Justin Bieber’s “Sorry,” Selena Gomez’s “Good for You” and Nick Jonas’ “Close.”

As the new brand ambassador for Reef, Hailee Steinfeld is currently starring in the brand’s spring ads, with another campaign set to launch in early summer.

FN got an early look at the new campaign, which features Steinfeld in ripped jeans, a pop-art-print jacket and the new tortoise-shell flip-flops launching this fall as part of the Reef Escape collection.

Recently, FN chatted with Steinfeld about partnering with Reef and how she puts together those great looks for her red-carpet and onscreen appearances.

What made you want to work with Reef?
One thing I find super-important when it comes to any collaboration is having a personal connection. Being born and raised in California, I grew up wearing the sandals, and as long as I can remember, multiple pairs have been at the bottom of the staircase, right by the door.

How would you describe your personal style?
It’s evolving, and I feel like it will continue to do that forever. Especially in the past two years or so, I’ve been getting into the music world and finding my identity in the music space versus being on a red carpet. For my own very personal style, I like to keep it comfortable and simple.

What’s it like collaborating with your stylists, Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haemm?
I’d been a huge fan of them for a very long time. We’ve been working together for a little while now, and they helped me find my confidence in the music space and the red-carpet space, and how I can make it seem like they’re not two completely different things but they do have a separation. I trust them a lot.

How do you put together your red-carpet outfits?
It’s based on how you feel in it. I love taking risks. I love that fashion has become such a huge part of my world. [With Rob and Mariel], I don’t have to say anything to them because they’re so amazing at what they do. I’ve been on the road a lot lately, so it’s been hard, but we’ve sent each other references. And our conversations are sometimes based around certain designers or shows that are happening and collections that we love.

Out of all the characters you’ve played, whose style did you connect with the most?
For my movie “The Edge of Seventeen,” I was very involved in the wardrobe. It was very hard to find her because here we have a character who was verbally called out in the movie for having a bad style. So we wanted her look to be quirky and different but still aspirational, where anyone could look at her and say, “I don’t see what’s wrong with what she’s wearing; it’s who she is.” It’s fun to go that extra mile and make a conscious decision to wear shoes that had dogs on them with socks that had cats on them. I wouldn’t necessarily wear an outfit the way she wore it, but I admire her ability to not care what anyone thinks. I relate to that.
