Mamie Gummer Takes on the Classics

Raising their family in Connecticut, Streep and her husband, sculptor Don Gummer, shielded their four children from the paparazzi-addled life of Hollywood. "We grew up outside of the fray," Gummer says.

"I got wise to the fact that we were different when we got to cut the lines at Disney World," she says.

Jacket, $2,100, Pants, $890, Bottega Veneta.

"It only became an issue when we were traveling and people would bother us all the time," Gummer recalls. "As a kid it's very invasive and not always fun. I'll grant Disney World was awesome, but just trying to have dinner at a restaurant? Not so much."

Top, $380, Limi Feu; Skirt, price upon request, Balmain; Wallet Chain (worn on skirt), $1,250, Hoorsenbuhs.

Gummer's first love is the theater. It was on stage that she met fiancé Benjamin Walker, star of last year's hit Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson (both off- and on Broadway), and it's there that she'll always feel at home.

Coat, $2,695, Michael Kors.

While she admits to being seduced by the sunny hills of L.A., "All I really want to do is plays — and that's a New York thing."

Sweater, $745, Maison Martin Margiela; Jeans, $330, Isabel Marant Etoile.

If her latest role as Dr. Mina Minard on ABC's jungle medical drama Off the Map hasn't quite made her a household name, she's perfectly happy with that. "That's never been my goal," she states.

Jacket, $1,073, Dries Van Noten.

Gummer is now facing the common fear of daughters everywhere: turning into her mother. "It's already happening," she says. "You catch yourself saying something in a certain way, and you recognize it immediately."

Tank, $360, Balmain; Pants, $785, Maison Martin Margiela; Ring, $125, Kora.

"Our parents have by far the greatest influence on shaping who we are and how we deal with the world."
