Born on August 21st, 1989 in Palisades, New York, Hayden got started in the business early. Growing up near New York City, with parents Lesley and Skip Panettiere, and younger brother Jansen, gave Hayden the opportunity to begin starring in commercials at the age of 11 months. At age 4 ½, Hayden was cast on the soap opera "One Life to Live" where she remained until 1997. Since then, she has gone to appear in many feature films and TV movies; including Remember the Titans, A Bug's Life, Dinosaur, and Kingdom Hearts. Hayden is probably best known in the United States for her role as "Claire" on the hit TV show "Heroes". Since being cast on the show in 2006, Hayden has been a paparazzo favorite and we can't get enough. Her grasp on style provides a strong influence on what's in and out in Hollywood, and we frequently spot her frolicking on the famous Robertson Boulevard.

Hayden Panettiere seen on Nov 10 2008 in West Hollywood, CA. After working all Sunday shooting scenes for “Heroes,” the show’s infamous cheerleader Hayden Panettiere rewarded herself for her hard work with a little retail therapy in West Hollywood on Nov 10. Giving off a casual Bohemian vibe, HP browsed an interior décor store to splurge on some digs for her newly acquired Hollywood Hills mansion in an embroidered peasant blouse (try Cake Couture’s sophisticated Tolume Cap Sleeve Blouse in White) paired with faded skinny jeans (similar to 7 For All Mankind’s Roxanne Skinny Jean in Chile), foxy aviators, a cinnamon colored tote (check out Posse New York’s fabulous Vanessa Tote in Plum), and her fav Rainbow flip-flops – standard for a long shopping trip! This week one of the new “Heroes: Villians” episodes with HP and guest star Kristen Bell aired – did any of you catch Hayden in action? As the action heats up on “Heroes” and the critics continue to slam the dark direction the show is taking, HP seems unfazed in her retail quest to revamp her abode and wardrobe. In addition, HP has also been heavily promoting her role as an anti-whaling activist, speaking at a rally in Washington DC to save the whales and recording a YouTube video asking fans to sign a petition and add a link to the Whaleman Foundation to their MySpace or Facebook profiles. Spreading the message from the lawmakers to the high tech youth of America seems like a feasible way to accomplish her goals – much better than getting herself arrested while protesting whaling in Japan last year!
Hayden Panettiere seen on Nov 01 2008 in Los Angeles, CA. Getting all glitzed and glammed up for the Hollywood Legacy Awards on Nov 1 at the Esquire House in LA, Hayden Panettiere looked absolutely radiant as she shimmied down the red carpet in this racy little number. Jumping on the metallic foil dress trend picked up by Lo Bosworth and Kate Hudson, Hayden rocked an itty bitty strapless mini with a skinny belt cinching the middle (try Betsey Johnson’s Convertible Ruffle Dress in Gold for a similar shimmering effect) with glossy croc peeptoes and dramatic red lips – which she’s been sporting quite frequently. How do you feel about the crimson color with her delicate features – love it or lose it? Completing her look with classy gold hoops (like Robyn Rhodes’ Mattie Double Hoop Earrings in Mixed Metal), a slender gold ring on her middle finger (try Rachel Leigh’s playful Sweet Tooth Ring in Gold) and a sassy gold clutch (add a little spice to your ‘fit with Antoinette Lee’s Suede Vita Clutch in White), the only thing missing from her very sexy ensemble was her usual cherub cheeked smile – why the somber face, HP? Even if she wasn’t happy on the way in, Hayden had something to smile about later in the evening: Heroes picked up a Hollywood Legacy Award, amidst slumping ratings in the third season and two executive producers getting axed over the weekend. HP didn’t stick around to celebrate with the cast after the event, but her on-screen dad Jack Coleman spoke up in her defense about the intense scrutiny she’s endured since the show became a hit: "It’s not a secret. The way the publicity game is set up, it’s completely obsessed with young women and the idea is to basically to destroy them, it’s predatory and it certainly could make me react in a very bad way if I had to put up with what she has to put up with." Thanks, Dad! Have any of you been tuning in to the show?
Hayden Panettiere seen on Oct 29 2008 in Sherman Oaks, CA. A little retail therapy is always a fun indulgence, especially when you leave the Rumor boutique in Sherman Oaks with two stuffed shopping bags like Hayden Panettiere on Oct 29. Combining her shopping spree with family time (not to mention a caffeine jolt), HP browsed the racks with her mom and little brother before picking out an assortment of scarves and hats to add some flair to her fall wardrobe… that is, if fall ever begins in LA! Wearing a flattering turquoise tank (check out the similar shape of Woo’s Anna Tunic in Wasabi Green) with faded skinny jeans (like Desert Blue’s Water Element Jean in Tornado Dark Indigo) and her favorite Rainbow flip-flips, Hayden rocked a pair of gold aviators while carrying a chic black purse (try Jenny Yuen’s compact Sherlock Satchel in Black). For someone who cares so much about saving the whales, the leather bag and shoes definitely undermine her animal-loving message! Besides the newly purchased digs, HP showed off another new acquisition on her shopping venture: a vertical tat on her back beginning with “Vivere,” with the second word disappearing under her shirt. Embracing her heritage, Hayden went with the Italian spelling of “to live,” making me wonder just what the rest of it might say! Though most would say the font and meaning behind the tat is pretty classy, HP’s mama would definitely disagree. After discovering Hayden’s first tattoo, a Leo sign on her ankle, her mom was reduced to tears at seeing her daughter’s permanent artwork etched on her skin. Makes you wonder, was she trying to pick a fight by adding another emblem?
Hayden Panettiere seen on Sep 24 2008 in Hollywood, CA. She may be relatively new to the Hollywood scene, but youngster Hayden Panettiere sure knows how to get glammed up for a soiree! The Heroes cheerleader was spotted at Declare Yourself’s Last Call Party on Sept 24, looking pretty damn sexy in an all black ensemble. Wearing an embellished cami with a sequined wing-sleeved top over it (check out the similar neckline of Black Halo’s Boat Neck Jersey Dress in Black), HP rocked it in her sultry black skinnies (see Denim of Virtue’s Slim Peeptoe Jean in Black) and strappy black heels. Adding elegant gold hoop earrings (try Lana’s Solar Earrings in Gold) and a gold python clutch (check out Marnie Rock’s Large Gold Python Clutch in Gold), HP kept it classy with her French manicured digits and kohl rimmed eyes, looking all around fabulous in my opinion! Because this is the first time she gets to cast a ballot in an election, Hayden is taking the race to the White House very seriously. Earlier this month she fueled the fire started by Paris Hilton’s fake presidential bid and recorded a Funny or Die video bashing McCain, dropping enough f-bombs to make even me blush! The short vid starts off with Hayden saying, "I know I'm hot enough to hold your attention for at least 30 seconds," escalates to her promoting cigarette smoking, not wearing your seatbelt, and all the reasons you should vote for McCain, ending her rant with "Nobody f***’s with John McCain!" Yikes! Definitely captured my attention, but I’m left feeling a little disturbed! Is anyone else ready for this election – and the negativity surrounding it – to be over with?
Hayden Panettiere seen on Sep 16 2008 in West Hollywood, CA. What is it about this girl and parking tickets? Hayden Panettiere let her meter run out while she was getting her hair colored in West Hollywood on Sept 16, becoming yet another unfortunate victim of LA’s Parking Enforcement. Those ticketers are merciless! Fortunately for HP, this incident took an interesting twist. Resident paps lingering outside the salon offered to add quarters to the meter for her when they saw the parking dude arrive, but to no avail. When HP returned to her Porsche Cayenne with yet another present waiting for her on the windshield, one of the paps who witnessed was so kind as to offer to pay the ticket for her. Where was this guy the last time I got a parking ticket in LA?? It’s not like Heroes isn’t bringing in enough cash for Hayden to pay off a $45 ticket! The nice guy made a little YouTube vid about the ordeal, showing himself writing the check and mailing it for her. Apparently he exercised the same generosity with Seinfeld awhile back. An unselfish, generous paparazzi? What is the world coming to! Despite earning her second ticket this summer, HP emerged from her stylist with rejuvenated blonde locks and a new set of razor sharp bangs, looking as fresh as her yellow maxi dress with Grecian style ties on the front (if you love the hue, try Ella Moss’ Piper Dress in Daisy). Keeping her look simple for the salon, HP wore her fav swirl cuff on one wrist and a slender chain bracelet on the other (try Michele Michel’s Swirl Bracelet in Silver and Jennifer Zeuner’s Vermeil Peace Rope Bracelet in Vermeil), with a dainty charm necklace around her neck (try Maya Brenner’s elegant Birthstone Ring Charm in Gold). I love that no matter how pricey her accessories are, like the purple Balenciaga fringed bag she’s carrying here, HP always makes her ‘fits age appropriate by adding elements like her treasured Rainbow flipflops. You can’t beat comfort!
Hayden Panettiere seen on Aug 27 2008 in Denver, CO. Looking divine in a red hot mini dress, Hayden Panettiere exercised her political prowess on August 27 by attending the Creative Coalition Gala in Denver, CO. The upcoming presidential election in November will be HP’s first chance to cast a ballot to pick the next pres, so I can see why she’s taking the Creative Coalition’s event so seriously! For her ‘fit, Hayden picked a red mini with gold details (check out the very similar design of Lotta Stensson’s Braided Sun Dress in Yellow, or nab the red hue with the Shirred Mini Tube Dress in Poppy) and stuck to the glitzy theme with her gold envelope clutch (like Carla Mancini’s flashy Small Python Clutch in Gold), sexy braided gold heels, classy diamond studs (try taking it up a notch with Rachel Leigh’s fun Triangle Stud Earrings in Topaz) with a simple charm necklace (like Maya Brenner’s The Charm-ing Necklace in Gold) and her fav swirl cuff bracelet (similar to Michele Michel’s Swirl Bracelet in Silver). Lately, HP’s been trying out a variety of new looks, from short-short mini dresses like the leopard one she donned a few weeks ago at the Trump bash to experimenting with bold red lipstick for her TRL appearance. Hayden describes her personal style, "I usually try to mix class and then really funk it out. It's rock meets class. I try — not always succeed, but I try." What do you think – does HP pull off the red hot look? In addition to her political activities, Hayden has been a busy bee promoting the new season of Heroes, appearing on MTV’s TRL and the Late Show with David Letterman this week. With the third season premiere coming up on September 22, HP and her co-star bf Milo Ventimiglia have a lot of work to do to get fans pumped up for the new season. If you recall the writer’s strike last year, Heroes was one of the shows that unfortunately ended abruptly in the middle of the season. It’s been a long wait to see how the show will continue, but the new Villians chapter should have everyone glued to the boob tube… if not just to see HP’s smiling face!
Hayden Panettiere seen on Aug 23 2008 in Bel-Air, CA. America’s favorite cheerleading sweetheart, Hayden Panettiere, made waves on Sat night when she stepped out for Donald Trump’s exclusive A-list shindig in Bel-Air on August 23. The party was promoting the Donald’s newest Trump International Hotel & Tower venture in Dubai, not due to open its doors until 2011, when it will be the tallest structure in the city. Among the other celebs in attendance, HP outshone all of her competitors in a slinky leopard mini tube dress (if you like the look, try Lotta Stensson’s Shirred Mini Tube Dress in Black for a toned down version) with matching peep toe stilettos and coordinated gold bangles (try Jennifer Zeuner’s Set of 14 Bangles in Gold for a multi hued variety), gold dangly earrings (check out Kuo Ting’s Antique Pendant Earrings in Gold), and a vintage-esque gold box clutch (try Antoinette Lee’s sassy Suede Vita Clutch in Black). I’m not the biggest fan of over-the-top animal prints, so I’m sort of biased against this one, but what do you think – does Hayden pull it off? Fresh faced as usual, HP pulled back her new shorter ‘do in an elegantly simple up-do. I have a feeling she doesn’t like the new cropped coif because I don’t think she’s worn it down since dinner at Madeo the day of the cut! HP has been a busy bee filming the upcoming season of Heroes, but she’s taken time off to promote her favorite cause: saving the whales! Her latest venture, panettierecloset.com, is based on a very interesting concept. You can go on the site and buy Hayden’s rejected clothes (one season at a time) and the proceeds will be donated to help HP’s marine friends. Hayden says on the site, “It’s my dream to put an end to illegal whaling around the world, and I’m asking you to be MY hero and help spread the word. Such a cause can not continue to go unnoticed, so I’m pleading with you to help me, help the whales, the dolphins and seals. Cleaning out my closet is just the beginning; and putting my stuff up for sale is the first step in a crusade that will go a long way to helping these majestic mammals. The money we raise together will bring a larger-than-life awareness to everyone who believes saving the world means living in a humane world.” A very noble cause for someone as youthful as Hayden! How do you feel about the cause – would you shell out the dough to wear HP’s clothes AND save the whales at the same time?
Hayden Panettiere seen on Aug 10 2008 in Hollywood, CA. Wow, talk about a bad day. Despite the events that followed, America’s favorite Heroes hottie, Hayden Panettiere, looked drop-dead gorgeous at the Whaleman Foundation Benefit in Hollywood, CA on August 10. HP co-hosted the event (which ultimately had the theme of: save the whales!) at Eva Longoria’s Beso eatery, wearing a stunning strapless coral number (like Prairie New York’s Chic Strapless Dress in Chocolate or the Bow Dress in Tomato) with an iridescent envelope clutch (just like Posse New York’s Sama Clutch in White Pearl), shimmering drop earrings (check out Kuo Ting’s Frosted Teardrop Earrings in Sterling Silver), and a flashy silver band (try Christie Martin’s cool personalized Sterling Silver Band Ring). HP swept her newly shorn locks into a sophisticated updo, making her look years beyond her tender age of 18. No matter how stunning she looked, the night took a turn for the worse as soon as HP left the party with co-star/boytoy Milo Ventimiglia. First, Hayden’s Porsche Cayenne (driven by her bf) ran over a photog’s foot while leaving the restaurant. Hey, I’m sure the pap jumped in front of the car while trying to get one last shot of the couple, but it’s too bad HP couldn’t save the day with her healing powers. Then, to add to the stress that goes along with any auto blunder, things took a serious turn for the worse on the homefront. Cops were called to Mama and Papa Panettiere’s residence around 3am for a domestic disturbance. It’s unclear exactly what happened, but police leaks say HP’s dad hit her mom in the face after an argument involving Mom’s “disrespectful” behavior at the party, leaving a visible bruise that led to Dad’s arrest after the po-po showed up. I’m not sure what could be more disrespectful than hitting your wife in the face, but I hope Hayden is safe and sound recovering from the incident.
Hayden Panettiere seen on Jul 30 2008 in Los Angeles, CA. Heroes sweetheart Hayden Panettiere was out and about in Los Angeles on July 30, picking up furniture for her new digs after an eventful weekend at San Diego’s Comic-Con geek fest. Unfortunately she left her car parked a wee bit too long and became a victim of LA’s merciless parking enforcement… the look on her face says it all! HP wore a cute tie back mini dress while running her errands (check out Ecoganik’s Empire Waist Bubble Dress in White or Rails’ Nadea Dress in Blue for similar options) with a simple silver cuff (nearly identical to Michele Michel’s Swirl Bracelet in Silver) and ultra comfy Rainbow flip flops. The barely legal babe is still getting her new pad ready for her BFF from native New York to move in with her. Apparently choosing her best friend as a roomie over boytoy Milo Ventimiglia sparked some dissention in their budding romance. A friend dished, “Milo was secretly hoping Hayden would ask him to move in to the new pad. He is keen to take their relationship to the next level by moving in together but Hayden is not ready for that.” Not surprising, considering he is more than ten years her senior! However, HP smoothed things over with her boo by performing a special birthday striptease for him on the set of Heroes. Almost too juicy to be true, a source reported: "Hayden asked the wardrobe girls to make her a Velcro-lined version of the [cheerleader] outfit she wears on the show. As she sang 'Happy Birthday' to Milo in front of cast and crew during lunch she ripped off the costume to show off her sexy red lingerie in a bump-and-grind striptease. Milo's face went bright red." Umm, a cheerleader striptease? Either this is a nerd’s wet dream that somehow made in on the web, or HP has a naughty side we have yet to see!
Hayden Panettiere seen on Jul 21 2008 in Beverly Hills, CA. Hayden Panettiere stepped out to eat at the popular Madeo restaurant in Beverly Hills on July 21, looking radiant as always while sporting new sleek, shorn locks. I have to wonder, does she ever look anything less than perfect? The pretty young thing had to ask the paps stationed outside where the entrance was, which would be laughable if she wasn’t so adorable! To nab Hayden’s fresh summery look, start with a comfortable off-shoulder top in a bright hue (try Rails’ Reyna Tee in Peach for a more casual look, or Kelly Cushing’s Tunic Mini Dress with Sash in Coral for a slightly dressier, long sleeved style) and pair with flattering ultra skinnies like Denim of Virtue’s Patience 5 Pocket Tapered Jean in Faded Grey. Keeping her look simple with minimal makeup and accessories, HP paired an opalescent envelope clutch (just like Posse New York’s Sama Clutch in White Pearl) with a classy gold swirl cuff (check out the similar design of Michele Michel’s Swirl Bracelet in Silver), sexy metallic peep-toe heels, and of course a wad of cash for the valet – hey, big spender! It’s been a busy summer for our favorite cheerleader from NBC’s Heroes, now in its third season. Between promoting her new single “Wake Up Call” from her debut album (set to release Aug 5) to hanging out with dreamy co-star/beau Milo Ventimiglia, Hayden found time to indulge in a little retail therapy, decorating her new home. The young starlet just moved down the street from her parent’s house into her own pad – a $4 million Hollywood Hills mansion, that is. Of life on her own, the 18 year old says, "I still want a mom and dad to take care of me and do my laundry, 'cause I can't do it. No, I'm kidding. I can do laundry!" Suuure, we believe you HP!
Hayden Panettiere seen on Jun 02 2008 in Los Angeles, CA. Hayden Panettiere had quite the busy LA day on June 2; first she filmed an episode of her show, "Heroes," then headed to Saks Fifth Avenue in Bev Hills for a little retail therapy, and then headed to LAX to catch a flight. Phew! Outfit wise, Hayden played it safe in a white cami (check out Whitley's Emily Cami in Cream) and dark blue skinnies (like Tag Jeans' Skinny 5 Pocket Jean in Medium Stone), accompanied by a whole armful of bags, including her SFA shopping bag, an oversized canvas tote and a blue leather purse (Dutchy Handbag's Lareg Button Satchel Bag in Slate is similar). The one choice that saved this outfit from total dullsville are Hayden's gladiator sandals, and even those have become pretty standard in Hollywood these days! While experimenting with various things is a standard part of the growing up process, Hayden has admitted in an interview that she experimented with the same-sex when it came to locking lips. She says, "It’s great to have boyfriends. Or girlfriends. There are occasions when you kiss your best friend growing up, having fun and goofing about. Like perfecting your technique. People are more interested in who celebrities are dating than the events going in the world. I’m not shallow. And I’m not sharing.” That's right, HP, you lock it up!
Hayden Panettiere seen on Feb 14 2008 in West Hollywood, CA. Hayden Panettiere spent her Valentine's Day with her family on Thursday, February 14 in Los Angeles, totally looking like a flasher in her long trench coat. Hayden decided to stay low key on V-Day, having her brother be her her for the evening. Hayden kept it casual in a long khaki colored trench coat (check out Walter's Trench Coat in Bronze) paired with a pair of black pantent leather heels (like Matiko Footwear's Abba in Black). Hayden and her family made their way to the new Hollywood hip steakhouse STK. The steakhouse just opened in West Hollywood after having much success in New York City, so expect to see Hollywood's hippest dining at this brand new hot spot. Sources inside say that she sat right across from brother Jansen, while accompanied her dad Alan and her mom-ager Lesley. No word where Milo Ventimiglia was this evening. I'm sure him and Hayden had a romantic Valentine's lunch somewhere in Los Angeles. Now that the writer's strike is over, I'm sure we will be seeing a lot less of Hayden as she gears up to start filming the new season of "Heroes." No word on when they will begin filming again, but we will be sure to keep you updated as soon as we hear.
