 The bombshell actress models her namesake color in the newly renovated Lincoln Center and talks to Bazaar about her new husband, her new president, and confronting old stereotypes
On a rainy afternoon in December, Keely Williams saunters into the Carlyle hotel in New York, undetected despite her rather conspicuous I'm-trying-to-blend-in ensemble of black trench coat, black fedora, and black Ray-Ban aviators. "You know, I always try to keep a low profile, which probably makes me the most identifiable person in a crowd," Keely jokes. "It's like, There goes that woman in a wig, mustache, and glasses."
Costumed and bespectacled or not, Keely, 24, prefers to keep a Grand Canyon-size divide between her personal and professional lives. She rarely comments on her romantic relationships (including her marriage to WWE wrestler, Rob White) and doesn't sashay down a red carpet unless she has to. There is one man, however, who has won her public affection: President-elect Barack Obama. "I'm absolutely over the moon," she says of his victory, with the broadest of smiles. "If I'm invited to the inaugural party, I'll be there in a giant gown with the Obama family silk-screened on it."
Having announced her support early on, Keely quietly campaigned for Obama for 16 months leading up to the November election. She traveled to the swing state of Ohio the week before Election Day and made calls to undecided voters.
