Holly Williams, 28—Singer/Songwriter:

With the recent release of a highly anticipated album and a new marriage, Holly Williams is definitely having a very good year. It seemed only appropriate that the girl who graced our first “Most Beautiful People” cover grace it again as a woman coming into her own. We’ve always loved her spirit and sense of fashion, which she puts to good use for friends and local fashionistas through the lines that she carries at her boutique, H.Audrey. A family girl at heart, Holly cites her mother as the most amazing and beautiful person in her life and also brags on her triumphant sister. As a new wife, she’s looking forward to really enjoying her favorite hobby—cooking—in her Belmont loft. The loft is not only home, but also where you may find her nursing a slew of animals she’s rescued. Independently, she travels across the state gathering animals that need homes, only to bring them back to hers before convincing people to take them on as pets. This is a passion for Holly, and one that she takes seriously and works at continually. She finds her heroes in simple places, like the nursing home where she visits her grandmother and other elders—whom, she states, are too often ignored, in spite of the fact that they have so much wisdom to offer. To keep herself looking good, Holly relies on a few grooming products from Private Edition, but mostly swears by the $3 Vitamin E Cream that she buys at Dollar General on Eighth Avenue South. “I obsessed with it, and saving here makes me feel better about splurging on expensive boots!” When not recording songs, buying for her store or saving sweet puppies, Holly loves to spend time with her friends at many of the local hot spots. You might see her enjoying the cocktails at Patterson House, having a Bloody Mary at Red Bar or, on an outrageous night, singing karaoke to Stevie Wonder songs at Lipstick Lounge. She’s also a regular at Radnor Lake, where you’ll find her with dogs (and now hubby) in tow. Who would she nominate for this list? Her sister Hilary, who’s still so wonderful and strong after 26 surgeries following their horrific automobile accident. We agree, and you’ll find Hilary’s picture on these pages as well.
