Andrea Donna "Drea" de Matteo was born on January 19, 1972. Andrea's father - Albert de Matteo - was engaged in the manufacture of furniture. Mom - Donna - a playwright by education, held the eponymous position at HB Studio. Drea has two older brothers, de Matteo's children were brought up in Catholic traditions.

The childhood of the future atrice passed in Queens, as a teenager, Andrea lived with her family in the Upper East Side in Manhattan. Today, the actress also lives in New York.

Education Drea received quite standard: first, the school to them. Loyola on the Upper East Side, then the Tisch School of the Arts at NYU. Actually, Andrea dreamed of becoming a director, probably this desire arose in connection with my mother's work, which the young de Matteo was inspired throughout her childhood. But fate decreed otherwise.

After graduating from the art school, Drea got into the cinema. At first, these were episodic roles in little-known independent films. A moment of fame overtook de Matteo at the audition for the series "Soprano Clan." Drea came to try on a fleeting role, but so impressed the producers with her talents, temperament, and appearance that they decided to expand the role to which they quickly approved a lively young actress. Adriana la Serva has become a more important figure in the series thanks to Drea de Matteo.

For a long time, the actress was married to musician Shooter Jennings. The couple met for several years, in 2009 they announced their engagement, and in 2001 they got married. In this marriage, Drea gave birth to two beautiful children - the daughter of Alabama (2007) and the son of Waylon (2011). However, even the presence of common children could not maintain the relationship of this couple: after a long disagreement, Drea and Shooter divorced in 2013.

One of Andrea's hobbies was the maintenance of his own shop of vintage clothing in rock style under the guise of Filth Mart. The showroom was located in Manhattan, its co-owner was a close friend of the actress Michael Sports. Today this store has ceased to exist, but Drea plans to open something similar in Los Angeles.

In addition to English, de Matteo is fluent in two foreign languages ​​- Italian and Spanish.

As in any Italian, in Andrei, real passions rage, which will certainly be reflected in her style. We will consider the mass of a variety of outfits, all of them are different trends in fashion, or even a crazy cocktail of all kinds of styles.

The first image is a delightful evening outfit, which is an example of a restrained elegant style. By the way, restraint is not the most characteristic feature of temperament and style in clothes that Drea most often shows to others. But this image is a pleasant exception. In addition, the actress’s two passions, which we will meet in other outfits, are “total black” and leather.

The following image is a bit awkward at first glance. But from the second - you can see a number of stylish patterns. Firstly, such an ensemble is clearly composed in the military style, which today is again at the peak of fashion. Secondly, the combination of colors and textures is observed impeccably: indigo, khaki and dark brown complement each other perfectly, and leather, jeans and velvet create a stylish composition due to its contrast.

Another military style look: the central element of the composition is a camouflage T-shirt. Dark skinny, a massive brown belt resembling an army sword belt, black cardigan. The image is both simple and full of all kinds of details. For example, pendants on chains that adorn the neck of the actress make a very significant contribution to this outfit, completing it, making it more complete.

Knee-high boots with jeans or trousers tucked in are one of the most common features in Dreya de Matteo's outfits. But what’s uncharacteristic is the gentle notes. However, they are present in this outfit, and even fill the main motive. A tunic made of air-transparent white chiffon, decorated with pleats and ribbons, is a very stylish and versatile thing. With her, as they say, in a feast, and in the world.

Drea, as a true lover of outfits completely black, knows how to make them with style. In her performance, they are never boring. So, in this ensemble, the central figure is a tunic with a long sleeve, decorated with decorative embroidery. The application is not noticeable at first glance, but upon closer examination, the unusual and mesmerizing beauty of this pattern is revealed.

Even the explosive and partly brutal girl, whose body is covered with numerous tattoos, is not alien to experiments with office style. For example, this ensemble, consisting of a pencil skirt, satin blouse and pumps, is very much to face actress de Matteo. True, the tie attached to the blouse, Drea still did not tie. Well, maybe this outfit looks only better!

Sometimes Drea even tries to create youth images. And although the actress has already exchanged the fifth dozen, it is worth recognizing that she manages to look "like a girl." The outfit presented below is simple and very cute.Swamp-gray dress with a deep neckline and a loose hem in the pleat has a classic "girl" length - to the knee. Black leather belt of the same tone and dense tights create the contrast necessary for any spectacular look. Suede high-heeled ankle boots matched the tone of the dress.

Even in men's trouser suits, Drea looks very feminine and seductive. We have two options for this outfit: a classic black two and a few fantasies, an ensemble of wide flared trousers with arrows, suspenders and a blue satin shirt with a short sleeve. And although both outfits are pure water borrowing “from the man’s shoulder”, de Matteo’s performance is more than feminine: the right shoes play the same - classic pointed boats, and the high waistline of the marriage from the second look, and the deep neckline of the jacket from the first , slightly exposing Drea's luxurious breasts.

Glimpses of ethnic style often flash in the outfits of an American actress. For example, this dress would be the most ordinary and boring, but the original ethnic ornament framing the line of the belt and decollete is its juicy highlight.

Drea loves to wear jeans and knows how to do it in different ways, always interesting. So, the first bow with jeans is a delicate composition of a white translucent shirt and gray-blue jeans. The second option is “total jeans”: the actress wears classic indigo jeans and a jacket with comfortable sneakers, simple T-shirts and her favorite leather bracelets. Drea combines stretch jeans with short medium-heeled ankle boots, stylish tops and original bags, as, for example, in the photo below. And Drea can easily wear worn slightly flared jeans in the style of a hippie with a bag in the same style, with cowboy boots and with a vest borrowed from a classic three-piece suit. In this case, eclecticism is very appropriate.

One of the most spectacular images of Drea for her entire career is a luxurious black dress. It combines the maximum length and shockingly extensive and large cuts, long cuts and a combination of dense velvet with translucent fabrics. In this image, the actress demonstrates an incredible femininity: not only a dress, but also a hairstyle and makeup - everything exudes an incredible appeal and sensuality of the fatal beauty.

As a young mother, Drea dresses up a little differently. These are always inconspicuous, practical, but at the same time all the same stylish sets. By the way, the outfits of daughter Drea are also very cute and fashionable. Even on the beach, young Alabama seems ready for the appearance of annoying paparazzi - the swimming image is so thought out and good that it would be suitable for the pages of a glossy magazine.
