The Old World (and otherworldly) grace of actress Nathalie Kelley makes her the very picture of classic beauty–luminous skin, free-flowing locks and effortless style. With an Argentinean father, a Peruvian mother and an Australian childhood, Kelley defines international elegance, magnetizing all with a rich café complexion and transfixing, enigmatic eyes. Known for her sexy role as the lead femme in The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift, this down-to-earth starlet looks forward to the release of her up-and-coming film, Kids in America, co-starring Topher Grace and Anna Faris. Her captivating screen presence is outshined only by her warm-hearted nature–a generosity that radiates from within. Splitting her time between Los Angeles and Atlanta, Kelley treasures the South and the grooming traditions of the women who live here. A self-confessed “beauty junkie,” JEZ caught up with Kelley at BLUE MedSpa, where she enjoys pampering treatments she calls “the best in Atlanta,” adding, “Beauty is gracious. When I take care of my skin and hair, it exudes a certain joie de vivre, and I give off this happier energy.”
