Fab Face: Dree Hemingway

July 6, 2009

Dree Hemingway. You surely recognize her surname. This model-of-the-moment's great grandfather is Ernest (the famous writer, yes) and her mother is actress Mariel Hemingway. She has connections, but that's not all she has.

The 21-year-old has made a name for herself in the world of fashion by being a non-conventional beauty. She's blond, but not what you would call "pretty." She has a strong square jaw, punky sensibility, and is pretty unavoidable these days. Check out any happening party and she's there, usually wearing fashion-forward pieces by Alexander Wang. In fact, the designer was her date for this year's CFDA Awards.

It's safe to say that Dree is doing her own thing — and doing it well — despite her famous last name.

Check out more photos of Dree.

Wow.. she does not look healthy. Her face is beautiful and she has great syle (or rather the people styling her for the photos do) but she's just so skinny :s Her head looks out of sync with her body. Lollipop syndrome! Can those super skinny minie legs be natural?! I have a (naturally) tall, size zero friend and she has more meat on her than this girl.

she's alright, she kind of looks manly to me, but that doesn't make her unpretty. but she's WAYYYY too thin! i know fashion likes skinny models, but jeez, her thighs are the size of her chopsticks-sized arms! O.o anorexic-looking people (especially those who try to look that way) freak me out sometimes...

Thanks sidra5397 for your comment and thanks to Fab for the apology. To #5, it's easy to make those comments when you post anonymously but karma knows who you are...

I think she's stunning. But then again, her mother's also beautiful so there's clearly some good genes being passed on.

Wow, maybe you should get over yourself, #5. What makes your subjective opinion a fact? I'm sure you're gorgeous, Mercedes406. As for Dree Heminway, she's pretty but I feel as though I've heard this story (famous (great) grandparent or parent produces model offspring) before so she doesn't seem that unconventional to me.

I think I get what you are trying to say about her independence and everything, but "despite her last name?" Really? Because every piece of copy I've read about her (including yours) focuses on her last name. She's pretty and looks like a model but she was working for years under her dad's last name and no one booked her. She changes her name and gets a bunch of buzz. So I'd say, Dree is here with the help of her last name (not that there's anything wrong with that) and not "despite"

Girls with blond hair and square jawlines are never pretty. It's a fact. Get over it.

"The 21-year-old has made a name for herself in the world of fashion by being a non-conventional beauty. She's blond, but not what you would call "pretty." She has a strong square jaw, punky sensibility, and is pretty unavoidable these days" Wow - I am appalled by this statement. I have been a loyal reader for years and enjoyed the other Fab Face profiles but since blond girls with square jawlines are "not pretty" I think I can live without reading this section anymore (being that I am one). This girl is gorgeous and maybe the writer should put herself up for Fab Face and let other people have a go at her. Thanks for the boost of confidence in the morning Fab and for creating insecurities for lots of girls out there.
