Hailee Steinfeld: What’s In My Bag?

Hailee Steinfeld keeps her parents close. “I have a necklace they bought me for my birthday with my nickname, ‘Haiz,’ on it,” explains the actress-singer (her debut EP, which is available on iTunes, shares the name). “If I’m not wearing it, it’s in my bag.” The L.A. native, whose single “Starving,” with Grey and Zedd, is also on iTunes, digs into her Marc Jacobs knapsack.

Up in the Air
“When I travel, I always bring a jacket with a hood. I love flying, and that’s kind of like my eye mask when it comes to sleeping on the plane. And earphones. Those are my No. 1 things to have.”

Paper Trail
“I love handwriting any notes, ideas or lists, so I always have a small spiral notebook.”

Snap Hungry
“I carry around my Instax Mini 90 camera. I keep the photos in my wallet so they don’t bend. I have one of me and my whole family and my grandma, which is one of my favorites.”

Pony Tales
“The bottom of my bag is filled with hair ties. For some reason I always lose them and I don’t know how, because I have so many everywhere.”

Purple People
“One of my favorite emojis is the smiling devil face. I have it as a key chain because I use that emoji for any text response. I’m sure it’s next to my name in my friends’ phones.”

What else is inside Steinfeld’s knapsack? A Saint Laurent black leather wallet; an iPad mini; a rose gold iPhone 6 Plus inside a clear Sonix case emblazoned with emojis; a 14-foot iPhone charger; a makeup bag containing bronzer, mascara, lipstick, makeup brushes, eyeshadow brushes, a small eyeshadow palette, Too Faced foundation and Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector in Champagne Pop; sunglasses; Advil; Tums; Band-Aids; a couple of Starbucks gift cards; multiple pairs of socks and a pack of Wrigley’s 5 Spearmint Rain gum.

Hailee Steinfeld’s ‘Edge of Seventeen’ Gets Pushed to November

Following the announcement that The Edge of Seventeen has been chosen to close out the Toronto International Film Festival, STX Entertainment has shifted the release of the teen comedy from Sept. 30 to Nov. 18.

In the film, produced by James L. Brooks and directed by newcomer Kelly Fremon Craig, Hailee Steinfeld stars as a high schooler who is having a difficult time coming to terms with the fact that her best friend is dating her older brother. Kyra Sedgwick, Woody Harrelson and Blake Jenner also star.

“After being selected as the closing night film at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival, we decided to move this very special film to take full advantage of the holiday corridor and to capitalize on the what we expect will be very strong word of mouth as the film screens this fall,” STX president of distribution Kevin Grayson said Wednesday in a statement.

On its new date, Edge of Seventeen will be going up against one of fall’s biggest releases — the Harry Potter spinoff movie Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Other November releases include DreamWorks’ Trolls, Marvel’s Doctor Strange and Paramount’s alien invasion movie Arrival.

Hailee Steinfeld shows ‘True Grit’ in acting, music

Actress and singer Hailee Steinfeld is determined to sell out stadium’s on her own but in the mean time she will get by with a little from her friend Meghan Trainor.

As a young actress Steinfeld was nominated for an Oscar and a slew of other awards for the movie True Grit. She went on to various other roles in films such as Ender’s Game, Begin Again, and Pitch Perfect 2. Her latest project is called The Edge of Seventeen and stars Woody Harrelson, Blake Jenner and Kyra Sedgwick.

Her debut EP, Haiz, unleashed the radio-friendly hit “Love Myself” and teamed her with the group DNCE for “Rock Bottom.” The album was co-written by Julia Michaels and Justin Tranter, the openly gay singer from Semi Precious Weapons.

Her new single is a collaboration with Zedd and the duo Grey. She packs up the music for a tour that brings her to Chicago.

Hi, Haillee. I’m excited you are coming back to the Windy City.
Me, too—always.

When we last talked, it was on a red carpet. Where does your style come from?
I have an amazing stylist that I work with. I think it is a form of expression. I like to use it as another playful aspect of what I do, going out performing and throwing on what I feel in the moment and comfortable in. Working with stylists is such a collaborative relationship and very fun for me.

Any costume changes while you are on stage?
I don’t during my set, but I have been playing around with fashion city by city.

Did you meet DNCE on your recent radio tour that led to your singing with them?
I have actually known Joe Jonas for a couple of years. We are partial label mates so that came together through that.

It was so fun being on that tour with them because the song came shortly after so I spent time with them on the road. Continue reading “Hailee Steinfeld shows ‘True Grit’ in acting, music”
