The Oscars is one of the most exclusive, star studded events in Hollywood, bedecked with beauty and glamour. Every glimpse is gorgeous from the high-end fashion to the glowing actresses strolling down the red carpet. K&N model, Jacey Marie, added another spark of beauty to this event; she worked in the VIP Oscar’s Gift Suite at the W Hollywood Hotel. With the bright lights and endless parade of celebrities, it’s no surprise Jacey listed this event as her favorite modeling memory.

On this night, Jacey met Melissa McCarthy, Colin Egglesfield, Kevin Nealon, Teri Polo, Cloris Leachman and Dermot Mulroney. She remembers the stars passing through the suite, recounting, “The atmosphere was rather uplifting and lively throughout the entire event.” Beautiful gowns and black tuxedos peppered the walkway; Jacey's attire was no exception. She describes her outfits: “For the 2 day VIP Oscar’s gifting suite which was held at the W Hollywood Hotel, I wore two sequined dresses. First day, I wore a brown dress with sheer sleeves and gold sequins all throughout the dress. The second day, I wore a one-shoulder nude dress with silver sequins all throughout the dress.” Besides meeting celebrities and getting glam, Jacey landed some other perks admitting, “I got a bunch of high-end gifts that were left over on the final day of the gifting suite as well as getting gifts during the event.”

In her youth, Jacey was selected to participate in the Snow Princess Pageant, in Aberdeen, SD

The Oscars was a magical night for Jacey. The modeling industry offers a lot of unique opportunities, but you can get burned in this business. Literally. When asked about the worst modeling memory, Jacey quickly quips, “Worst memory is when a company didn't provide shade or reasonable sunscreen causing me to get third degree burns on the job.” She went on to say, “The experience was for a small event outside in the sun next to water, without any shade for the girls working whatsoever.  Unfortunately, I was out in the sun for anywhere between 8-10 hours, without any waterproof sunscreen.” Conditions can be cutthroat in the modeling world, but she was strong enough to shake it off and get the job done.

Whether baking in the sun or standing in a beautiful gown, Jacey shows a lot of poise. Growing up in Aberdeen, South Dakota, she learned these skills at a young age. She was hand selected to be in a beauty contest: a compliment to her style. Jacey reveals, “Where I grew up in Aberdeen, South Dakota, the Snow Princess Pageant girls would get picked to compete and have their images published in the newspaper. I found out I was chosen to compete when my family got the newspaper one morning and saw my image in the competition section.” This picture was proof of Jacey's beauty. Even as a child, she showed great potential. The pageant was a charming surprise—a glimpse into Jacey's future career in the industry.

I love acting overall, so whatever I can get my hands on, I will do it.” She would also like to be published in more magazines.

Because of the industry Jacey works in, her life is fast-paced, but this fits her personality. She admits, “I am a very adventurous person who loves to skydive, snowboard, go to the shooting range, drive fast, and even go hiking.” At the end of the day, Jacey Marie is an athletic, active model.
