She was born in Palisades, New York, daughter of Lesley Vogel, a former soap opera actress, and Skip Panettiere, a fire department lieutenant. She has one younger brother, fellow actor Jansen Panettiere.Hayden began appearing in commercials at 11 months old, first appearing in an advertisement for Playskool She later landed a role as Sarah Roberts on the ABC soap opera One Life to Live (1994- 1997) and later as the child Lizzie Spaulding on the CBS soap opera Guiding Light when she was eight years old (1997 - 2001). In Guiding Light, for Hayden's character Lizzie's battle with leukemia, the show received a Special Recognition Award from the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society for bringing national awareness of the disease to the attention of daytime viewers.
The all-American teen idol and burgeoning fashion icon, Hayden Panettiere, burst onto our screens as Heroes' Claire Bennet, the high school cheerleader bestowed with the gift of 'spontaneous regeneration' (handy healing powers to you and me).
A diminutive 5'2", the 18-year-old face of Neutrogena has her head screwed on solidly compared to her nu-Hollywood peers and she is no vacant valley girl; 'respect yourself' is her mantra and she eschews the hard-drinking, heavy partying Britney/Lindsay Lohan lifestyle.
Her maturity comes through with her sophisticated-beyond-her-years ladylike style and an elegant wardrobe of fashion-forward metallic and jewel-tone body con numbers and LBDs. Off the red carpet, Hayden has perfected the relaxed LA casual yet chic combo.Her Style:
Glitter Girl
The nu-Hollywood golden girl with the Midas touch, Hayden has a closet packed with classy but glitzy gowns and rocks the metallic trend in numerous shimmery Alice+Olivia number.A classy sequin bead dress would definitely meet with Miss Panettiere's approval. Add a pair of lustrous gold strappies and she finishes off her blingie look with a striking clutch.
Little-Black-Dress Diva
Our favourite teen heroine has made the LBT a style staple all her own. Hayden smoulders in simple gowns polished off with her favourite gold accessories and ticks all the right boxes in a twinkly Allen Schwartz mini with black Mary Janes, bangles and bag. A simple slimline shift flatters in all the right places; gilded heels and a flashy clutch add just the right amount of glam. A monochrome prom dress or bustier with a circle buckle black belt will hug that figure and peeptoe shoes, retro factory girl bag and jet sparkle bracelet polish off this most refined of outfits.
Laid back Lady
Hayden shows off this season's relaxed knit and jeans combo better than anyone. Her favorite Rock & Republic jeans will set you back the best part of £200, so bag these far more affordable Full Circle vintage wash skinnies instead. Team with either a delicate silk vest top and classic red cardigan tied at the waist or a fashion-forward grey roll neck tunic sweater, wide belt and slouchy brown leather bag. Complete both of these LA-cool casual looks with a pair of long boots.
