“Trying to control your image is an exercise in futility,” says the much-photographed Byrdie Bell. “People will see what they want to see regardless of what I want to project.” This sort of candor is typical of Bell, who, though pretty as a Barbie doll, doesn’t fit neatly into a mold.

“I couldn’t wear Topsiders and feel like I was myself,” Bell once said in reference to the strict dress code at Greenwich Country Day School. Her response? Move to New York — her “spiritual home” — and get more than a dozen piercings. These days, Bell’s no longer setting off metal detectors but rather inciting paparazzi frenzies in designer get-ups that show off her celebrated legs.

What’s interesting about Bell is her ability to both embrace and subvert what’s expected of someone in her position. Bell’s not just any deb, after all; she has a lot of history to deal with, starting with her name. Byrdie, as she’s always been known, is descended from a line of Evelyn Byrds, the first of whom was the eldest daughter of Colonel William Byrd II, the founder of Richmond, Va. Her mother is Evelyn Byrd Lorentzen, a jewelry designer related through marriage to the Norwegian royal family, and her father is Ted Bell, the renowned ad man turned best-selling author whose grandfather inspired the character of Thurston Howell III on “Gilligan’s Island.” Phew. Bell seems to take it all in stride — preferably in her expensive new pair of Balenciaga boots. “I’m still not over the guilt of buying them,” she admits.

A professionally trained actress, Bell had a cameo in Martin Scorsese’s Rolling Stones documentary, “Shine a Light,” and worked alongside Matt Long, Jessica Stroup and Mischa Barton in the thriller “Homecoming.” “I’ve been killed [on screen] three times; twice in the bathtub and once with poison,” Bell has joked. What’s next? She’s starting the year with a trip to Tel Aviv, where she’ll vacation, practice her Hebrew (something she took up before the getaway was even an idea) and do some modeling. It’s a job she’s able to enjoy even without rose-colored glasses. “Modeling,” she says, “pays for daily expenses when you’re trying to be an actress.”
