Cars hum outside, hangers shift in gentle clatter, and Dree Hemingway, model, actress, and great-granddaughter of Ernest Hemingway, sits before a mirror with a cup of coffee cooling beside her as a stylist adjusts a hem in the background.

There’s something special about getting ready surrounded by familiar faces. Dree has always moved with ease between old Hollywood and new Paris, red carpets and runways, building a career shaped by versatility, exploration, and charm. Beyond modeling, she has appeared in a series of independent films that reveal her natural presence on screen. It’s what makes her a constant in both creative and fashion circles. Her approach to style is thoughtful, guided by intuition, a quality that threads through everything she does.

That innate understanding of image and presence has shaped her long relationship with V Mag, from Issue 62’s All American Dree, photographed by Sebastian Faena and styled by Clare Richardson, to DNA Powerhouse and Issue 66’s Footballers’ Wives. It’s a story that continues today, as she welcomes us into her getting-ready moment.
