Hailey Gates (born Hailey Benton Gates, 28 March 1990) is an American actress, writer, and cultural commentator known for her intellectually driven presence across film and contemporary media. She has appeared in projects such as Ricki and the Flash, Uncut Gems, and the upcoming film Atropia (2025), while also establishing herself as a thoughtful editorial voice. Through her writing and screen work, Gates has built a reputation for engaging critically with modern culture, identity, and power, positioning her as a distinctive figure at the intersection of cinema and commentary.

Off screen, Hailey Gates’ personal style is cerebral, understated, and quietly subversive. She favours minimalist silhouettes, vintage tailoring, and muted palettes, often leaning into an androgynous aesthetic that feels intentional rather than trend-driven. Eyewear plays a defining role in her image, frequently used to sharpen and intellectualise her look. She has been seen wearing classic frames from brands such as Prada and Miu Miu, gravitating towards thin profiles, clear or lightly tinted lenses, and timeless shapes. Whether attending film festivals, fashion weeks, or literary events, Gates’ eyewear completes an image that is thoughtful, refined, and unmistakably her own.
