Dresses in a feminine and fashionable style. A captivating face with big eyes and innocent, beautiful features. Lithe body. Ideally tall (5’8”-5’9”). Personality: Celeste is hard-working, ambitious, and competitive. She tries to fit in with the upper crust world she’s marrying into, but she’s the first generation in her family to have attended college due to poverty and unexpected pregnancies (her mother was 18 when she had Celeste). She’ll do anything to soar above her past and create a better future for herself and her loved ones. She’s tenaciously loyal to those who earn her trust. She loves fashion, and aspires to be a supermodel. Character arc: Celeste starts out feeling reliant on Noah for her modeling career due to his industry status and his familial relationship with her idol: Vincent Thorne, founder of the magazine Haute Luxe. She dreams of being on the cover, but must convince Vincent she has what it takes. Celeste is stuck in a loveless marriage with Noah after his betrayal, and believes she can’t change her circumstances without ruining her future. Through her pregnancy and her illicit romance with Julian, she gains empowerment and discovers true love. By the end, she has it all: a thriving career, the cover of Haute Luxe, and the start of a family with a man she truly loves. Relationships: Noah: Husband in a loveless marriage. Enemy.

Lead	Julian Thorne	Male 28 - 34 Years old
Description $ 350 dlls per day NO AGENCY FEE Description: Male lead, 32, Caucasian. Appearance: Handsome in a striking, timeless way with piercing eyes and a lean, elegant body. Thick hair worn just a little long and unkempt - in a sexy way. Dresses in suits, blazers, turtlenecks, and other refined styles. Wears glasses for reading. Personality: Julian understands better than anyone that the Thorne family tolerates nothing less than greatness. So he has embodied ambition by earning several degrees, starting flourishing companies, and winning awards. Presently, he’s a renowned cardiac surgeon, though he aims to take over as the Haute Luxe CEO to keep Noah from destroying the Thorne family legacy. Character arc: At first, Julian denies his feelings for Celeste - and most of his softer feelings in general. All he cares about is inheriting his father’s legacy to protect it from Noah. He believes modeling is vapid, and thus Celeste must be shallow. Through accidentally impregnating Celeste and falling in love with her, Julian discovers he underestimated Celeste. He learns to respect and appreciate her depths. He becomes capable of admitting his own desires - and acting upon them. By the end, he earns ownership of Haute Luxe and Celeste’s hand in marriage.

Vying for his approval and inheritance. Abbie: Antagonistic relationship. Victoria: Colleague and potential love interest. Tyler: Brief romantic rival.
Role type	Role	Gender & Age range
Supporting	Noah Thorne	Male 24 - 28 Years old
Description $350 dlls per day NO AGENCY FEE Description: Antagonist, male, 25. Executive at Haute Luxe. Aiming to be CEO. Caucasian. Appearance: Noah looks like a golden child compared to the brooding, mysterious aesthetics of his brother, Julian. He dresses like a model off duty at a resort, in khaki slacks and shirts not fully buttoned. He has a charming smile that easily convinces everyone to look the other way from his wrongdoings. But he can go from charming smiles to cold evil in a blink. Personality: While Julian carried the burden of ambition, Noah was a spoiled child… and now, he believes he’s owed the world. He envies everything Julian has, and most of his own ambition is built from spite. Noah is masterful at fitting into various social contexts and saying all the right things, when deep down he’s selfish and shallow. He cares deeply for his family’s approval, and to one-up Julian once and for all. He doesn’t care about fashion, but he loves taking advantage of the industry for beautiful women. He’s low empathy and self-centered, with a deep-seated anger that might bubble into violence. Character arc: Noah believes Vincent will give him the Haute Luxe CEO title if he produces an heir. He thinks his future is set when he marries Celeste and strong-arms her into a pregnancy - while sleeping with Abbie on the side. But when Celeste gets pregnant with Julian’s baby and leaves Noah, Noah’s sense of entitlement shatters. He loses control and violently goes after Celeste. Once he’s caught, he loses his power, his shot at his inheritance, and both of the women he thought he controlled. Relationships: Celeste: New wife, soon to be ex-wife and enemy. Julian: Older brother. Enemy. Constantly competing. Vincent: Father. Boss. Vying for his approval and inheritance. Abbie: New girlfriend/mistress. Models for his magazine. Victoria: No relationship. Tyler: Photographer he manages. Tensely civil.

Owner of Haute Luxe, the most renowned fashion and style publication in the world. Caucasian. Appearance: Distinguished and always a little terrifying. Powerful and knows it in the way he dresses, carries himself, and addresses others. Well dressed. Personality: More of a taskmaster than a father to his ever-competitive sons. Shows love by pushing people’s limits. Believes in self-sufficiency and ambition. Often threatens to disown his own sons if they fail him. High standards in every area of his life, and a sharp tongue to go with them. Wants the best for those he loves, despite having trouble showing softness. Strong family pride - wants Haute Luxe leadership to remain within Thorne blood. Character arc: Vincent prizes accomplishments over kindness, and status over loyalty. He supports Celeste’s desire to model, but doesn’t believe she’s special enough for a spot in his publication - he mostly values her for her ability to produce a Thorne heir. But through navigating her unexpected pregnancy and watching her take on her challenges, he earns genuine respect and love for her as a model and as a human being.
