"    Kara Hayward; Photo: BFAnyc.com   Two of our favorite up-and-coming actresses, Kara Hayward and Jess Weixler, chatted with ELLE.com yesterday at the Honor presentation and video installation at Eyebeam studio in Chelsea. Giovanna Randall showed 32 alt-ladylike, subversive-schoolgirl looks, with an early &amp;#039;60s wink (tent coats, Peter Pan collars, color-blocking, and heart prints), many in hues of hot pink or mint green, and accessorized with Tabitha Simmons&amp;#039;s New Wave, pointy two-toned flats. Guests included Bryanboy, Saudi Princess Deena Abdulaziz, Tennessee Thomas, Harley Viera Newton, Mia Moretti, Chelsea Leyland, Rumi Neely, Becka Diamond, Laura McLaws Helms, and Lisa Marie Fernandez.    &amp;quot;Honor has the most adorable stuff ever,&amp;quot; said Hayward. &amp;quot;They have the cutest clothes! &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s fun, different, and unique, which I love.&amp;quot; We first told you about the Moonrise Kingdom star when we interviewed the film&amp;#039;s director, Wes Anderson, last June. Moonrise Kingdom has been nominated for many awards this season, including a Golden Globe, five Independent Spirit awards, an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, and for Hayward, a Critics&amp;#039; Choice Award nomination for Best Young Performer. We asked the Boston resident what her first-time experience with awards season has been like. &amp;quot;It is so much fun!&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;Going so many places, meeting so many different people, all totally new experiences. It&amp;#039;s just incredible.&amp;quot; She begins shooting Jerry Levine&amp;#039;s The Optimist in July. Hayward, along with co-star Jared Gilman, accepted Moonrise Kingdom&amp;#039;s Gotham Award for Best Feature in November. &amp;quot;It was amazing and a little bit scary. You&amp;#039;re looking down and John Krasinski is watching, and all I could think was, &amp;#039;I don&amp;#039;t want to mess this up!&amp;#039;&amp;quot; she laughed. In addition to Honor, Hayward attended the Chlo\u00EB Sevigny for Opening Ceremony show this week. &amp;quot;I am definitely branching out in my style. I used to be more of a &amp;#039;I wear T-shirt and jeans&amp;#039; [girl]. I&amp;#039;m starting to do some different things, which is definitely fun.&amp;quot; Weixler told us that her personal style is a little playful: &amp;quot;I like to mix one or two nice, new pieces with vintage or some unusual piece from a thrift store.&amp;quot; We first praised &amp;quot;the insanely talented&amp;quot; Weixler during the 2012 Tribeca Film Festival. She lives on the Lower East Side and has inherited the unofficial title of &amp;quot;indie queen&amp;quot; from Parker Posey and Sevigny. Expect her to blow up in 2013, when she has four new films released. Due out in March is Somebody Up There Likes Me (which won the Special Jury Prize at Locarno Film Festival), as well as Best Man Down with Justin Long, Look of Love with Annette Bening, and most intriguing of all, The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s a film experiment because it&amp;#039;s two movies\u2014his story and her story\u2014told from their different perspectives,&amp;quot; explained Weixler. Oscar nominee Jessica Chastain, who was Weixler&amp;#039;s roommate at The Juilliard School, co-stars. &amp;quot;She&amp;#039;s my best friend in the world,&amp;quot; said Weixler. &amp;quot;The fact that it&amp;#039;s all coming together for her this year is like a star burst.&amp;quot; Weixler was wearing a cream Honor boucl\u00E9 suit at the presentation. &amp;quot;I picked this because it felt romantic; sometimes I just want to go ultra-girly! I love Honor because it has a bit of fantasy to it.&amp;quot; Spoken like a great actress.
