While President Trump is settling into the White House and overturning Obamacare, the 2017 Sundance Film Festival is in full swing in Park City, Utah!
This season, many feared the reports earlier in the year on the shortage of snow might affect the festival turnout. Yet, despite the snow reports, the turnout was OTT and showed no shortage of Hollywood "it" girls frolicking around town! In fact, several quintessential "it" girls were spotted on the red carpet promoting their upcoming films. Ya know that quintessential Sundance "it" girl...She's that indie actress that everyone is talking about.
In the middle of a blizzard, she manages to arrive at her scheduled screening fashionably late, just in time for a few pictures posing with her hair perfectly messy, snow-kissed skin all a glow and an entourage of directors and writers in tow!
This year at Sundance the "it" girls were in full force! Ms. Rooney Mara (Ghost Story), Aubrey Plaza (Ingrid Goes West), Elizabeth Olsen (Ingrid Goes West, Wind River), Riley Keough (The Discovery), Zoey Deutch (Rebel in the Rye, Before I Fall), and Jenny Slate (Landline) all made the list!
