Elettra Rossellini Wiedemann (born 1983 in New York City) is an American fashion model. She is the daughter of Italian actress and model Isabella Rossellini and American Jonathan Wiedemann (a Harvard-educated Microsoft design manager and former fashion model)[1], who were married from 1983 to 1986 after having met at a Calvin Klein photo shoot. Her maternal grandparents were Ingrid Bergman and Roberto Rossellini. Elettra has an adopted younger brother Roberto (born 1993).
Elettra grew up in New York City and attended high school at the United Nations International School, where she became fluent in French. Growing up, Elettra suffered from scoliosis, a condition that had also afflicted her mother, and had to wear a back brace twenty-three hours a day from the ages of twelve to seventeen.
Elettra attended college at The New School, where she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in International Relations. She will be continuing her education in the Fall of 2008, when she enters a two year graduate school program at the London School of Economics in order to receive a master's degree in biomedicine.[2][3]
During her time at college, she began a modeling career. Her first contract was for Bruce Weber for Abercrombie & Fitch. In addition, she has also modeled for companies like Bill Blass and Ferragamo and for the fashion magazines Vogue and Harper's Bazaar. In fact, she spent two years living and modeling in Milan, becoming fluent in Italian. Currently, she is the spokesmodel for Lancôme's Hydra Zen moisturizer and Color Ideal foundation product lines.
