The 21-year-old is the 2012 honoree celebu-kid chosen to help hand out statuettes at next month's Golden Globe Awards ceremony, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association said Thursday.

Isn't she lovely? Say hello to Rainey Qualley, Miss Golden Globe 2012.

The 21-year-old daughter of acclaimed actress Andie MacDowell and former model Paul Qualley has been selected to present awards to winners at the upcoming Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles next month.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association made the appointment at their year-end formal dinner on Thursday night.

Miss Golden Globe is an annual title awarded by the Association. The honoree, traditionally the daughter of a celebrity, assists the HFPA in all aspects of pulling together their famous prize-giving.

“I am honored to be selected as the 2012 Miss Golden Globe. It’s very exciting to be a part of an awards show like the Golden Globes so early on in my career,” an ecstatic Rainey said in statement.

“We are delighted that this year’s Miss Golden Globe is Rainey,” HFPA president Dr. Aida Takla-O’Reilly chimed in.

"She is a talented and beautiful young woman. We're excited to have her as part of this year's show."
