Marie de Villepin (born 1986) is a French socialite, model, and actress and the daughter of former Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin. She has a brother, Arthur, and a younger sister, Victoire. She graduated with the "licence" degree in law at the french elite university "Panthéon Assas Paris II" in 2006 and became a model in New York, where she also takes acting lessons. She was the bride for the French fashion designer Franck Sorbier in his Fall 2004 Couture collection. Her first major breakthrough was her appearance in the American edition of ELLE in October 2005.
She currently models in New York under the alias of Marie Steiss and is the face and the spokesperson of the new perfume Ange ou Démon by Givenchy. She has also been chosen by Krizia for their Spring and Fall advertising campaigns (2007).
