From Dree to Shining Dree.

There's just something about her.

Dree Hemingway, the modeling world's newest obsession, is not the latest it-girl because of hard-partying ways, stints in rehab, tabloid appearances or general wild behavior.

Instead, Hemingway -- the great granddaughter of Ernest and daughter of Mariel -- comes from very enviable literary and thespian pedigree and has a classically-trained background in ballet. And oh, that unconventionally lovely face helps out a little.

This shot of Miss Dree hamming it up is tres adorable -- her pose is very Coppertone Baby crossed with the American Ballet Theatre.

And those over-the-knee, stir-up socks are tres adorable, too.
