In no time, director Robert Zemeckis chose her to play the suicidal undergrad back from the grave to haunt Harrison Ford in the ghostly thriller What Lies Beneath. After a successful decade in the modeling business, Valletta realized it was time to make the leap into acting.
There, she was sported by a scout from a European modeling agency, who whisked her off to Paris and set her on the path to runway shows, magazine photo shoots and big-money ad campaigns for clients like Versace, Gucci, Chanel, Calvin Klein and Elizabeth Arden. In this profile from the August 2000 issue of Movieline magazine, Valletta discussed her most high profile acting role to date.Īmber Valletta was 15 years old when her mother enrolled her in a modeling school in her home state of Oklahoma. Primarily, she’s known as a model but she has continued to act in movies like Transporter 2, Hitch and The Spy Next Door. She played the dead girl who haunts Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer. Some may think it’s a bit overstated to create a whole 54-look collection honoring a bag, but as Carrie Bradshaw once said “it’s not a bag, but a Baguette”.If you have seen the supernatural thriller, What Lies Beneath, you have seen Amber Valletta. The celebratory show was an original and fun way to honor the brand's most iconic accessory. There were ‘Baguette’s’ worn on wrists, attached to hats, used as jewelery and even mini ‘Baguette’ pouches attached to major ‘Baguette’ purses. Rightfully so this was a show which saw the accessories taking centre stage and becoming an extension of the clothes sprouting out of miniskirts and socks. The ten looks included train skirts, opera capes and recycled fur hats which exemplified both the grit and glamour of New York.
Jacob's looks embodied larger-than-life silhouettes and amplified dimensions, which we’ve been seeing him explore over recent seasons at his eponymous label.

In total Marc Jacobs was given free rein to design ten of the total 54 looks in the collection. A long-time friend of Marc’s and current face of Fendi, Linda Evangelista, made her return to the catwalk closing the show in a Tiffany blue opera cape carrying a sterling silver ‘Baguette’ bag. Iconic jewelery brand ‘Tiffany & Co’ provided dazzling diamond ‘Baguettes’, a stand out being the double – F logo on the blue croc baguette carried by Bella Hadid being coated in the precious stones. Whilst the fashion industry is currently oversaturated with collabs this one felt more authentic as it leaned more so into creativity and fun instead of the cash-grabbing logo mania of recent years. The collection saw Fendi dabble in collaborating with three ‘big apple’ institutions ‘Marc Jacobs’, ‘Tiffany & Co’ and luggage brand ‘Porter’. Shockingly legendary icon Grace Jones sat in the second row emitting a WTF reaction across social media. In the FROW we saw Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts, Kate Moss, Shalom Harlow, Amber Valletta and of course SJP (Sarah Jessica Parker) herself. Held in the Hammerstein ballroom covered in beige carpets and curtains the show felt more of an event than a fashion show. It’s been years since New York Fashion Week has seen a production of this magnitude, Venturini Fendi stated that the show intended to “bring pleasure to people” which is something we all need after the last couple of years. The central character Carrie Bradshaw, played by Sarah Jessica Parker, was often seen wearing different variations of the ‘Baguette’ bag making it the famous favorite it is today. The show ran from the late 90s to the early noughties becoming famous for its depiction of female sex and pleasure, but what caught the viewers’ attention even more than the character's sexual escapades was the fashion. Kim Jones and Silvia Venturini Fendi felt it was only right to hold their Resort 2023 show celebrating the 25th anniversary of the ‘Baguette’ bag in New York, if you’re a ‘Sex & The City’ fan you’ll know why.
