hat’s the point of having this platform if I don’t use it ON MY COFFEE TABLE to make a difference?” Chloë Grace Moretz asked before our salads had even arrived. And just like that, I knew she and I would vibe. We spent most of our poolside lunch in L.A. talking politics (she’s a staunch Hillary supporter who, only days later, made us all proud as one of a few millennials to take the stage at the DNC). Our conversation flowed to the awesomeness that is young love and, of course, those infamous dealings with superstar-size bullies. In a word, she is real, ROCK THE VOTE refreshingly so. Growing up in the early aughts, mega-starlets and pop princesses were enshrouded in mystery, with no Instagram or Twitter or Facebook to connect with their fans. We marveled at the idea of them, but their political views? Off-limits. My, how things have changed! These days, what stars stand for is no less essential than the projects that showcase their talent. So, for our annual Young Hollywood issue, we reexamined the meaning of fame in 2016. How it’s defined. How it’s earned. And, more importantly, GET UP, STAND UP how it’s used to drive change. One major theme emerged again and again: #representationmatters. Whether it’s the Half Foundation (an organization founded by Ryan Murphy, the brilliant mind behind Glee and Scream Queens), which diversifies sets behind the camera (page 92), or the new wave of crazy-funny girls (page 41), or the boundary-breaking female directors Melina Matsoukas (page 30) and Ava DuVernay (page 34), who are killing it in spaces rarely occupied by women of color. But what we all have in common with celebs now is that each of us has a platform. Chloë’s words are not only a reminder to speak your mind on social media but also to make your voice count at the polls on November 8.

don’t want to tell anyone how to think with my music—it’s just my way of getting across my views and feelings,” says Vancouver, Canada– based Tommy Genesis of her unapologetically blunt lyrics about rebellion, sexuality, and female empowerment. “I want people to hear my songs and not think, Oh, she’s a girl who’s rapping, but just, This is rap music. Feminism is when you’re not defined by your gender.” Tommy, originally trained in classical piano, jammed with emo bands before forming the rap duo Moan with a friend. “That was the first time I got a crazy adrenaline rush from performing,” she remembers. In 2015 Tommy joined Awful Records, and she has since released an album, World Vision. World Vision 2 is on the way. Though her lyrics—and outfits— can be provocative, Tommy is less concerned with raising eyebrows than consciousness. “Ultimately the message I want to send as an artist is love each other, and love yourself,” she reveals.

A

rt has the power to change the world. It can expose gross social and cultural flaws and encourage out-of-the-box thinking in such arrestingly beautiful ways that people can’t help but take notice. Which is why Melina Matsoukas— who holds an undergraduate degree in film from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts and a master of fine arts in cinematography from the American Film Institute—never takes her platform for granted. “I try to push the boundaries and make work that is provocative through its storyline, fashion, or performance,” says the director, who has spearheaded smash music videos for everyone from Whitney Houston to Rihanna—including Beyoncé’s groundbreaking masterpiece, “Formation.” Melina’s most recent undertaking, HBO’s new comedy series Insecure, is trailblazing in its own right. Issa Rae’s follow-up to her award-winning web series, The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl, the show—which focuses on two BFFs and upends stereotypes surrounding modern black women— proves that mainstream television is ready to embrace more complex themes. “I fell in love with the story. When I read the script I was like, This is my life!” Melina remembers. “I really related to Issa’s character, who doesn’t fit into a box or society’s definition of what being a black woman is.” —ARIANA MARSH

AVA KOFI

IN CONVERSATION WITH

H

ow many of your favorite TV shows are directed by women? Most likely, way fewer than you think— we’re talking about a staggering 14 percent. Hollywood superpower Ava DuVernay—the first black woman to direct a movie with a production budget of more than $100 million, bringing A Wrinkle in Time to the big screen—is setting out to change all of that with her new series, Queen Sugar. The lushly shot drama follows the Bordelon siblings as they reunite at a Louisiana sugarcane farm and grapple with the death of their father. (The show, which Oprah Winfrey is executive producing, NBD, was optioned for a second season even before its September premiere.) In order to tell the extraordinary stories of ordinary people, Ava enlisted a team of exclusively female directors, most of whom are of color. The multitalent spoke with Queen Sugar’s lead Kofi Siriboe about creativity, relatability, and paying it forward. Ava DuVernay: Part of putting [Queen Sugar] together, for me, is about handpicking the right people. Whether it’s an actor like you, whether it’s selecting the talent who make up our all-women directorial team or the very inclusive crew, we were always seeking out different kinds of people to put their hands on the story. It’s like weaving a living tapestry. How was it being in the middle of that? Kofi Siriboe: It’s special, and it doesn’t feel like it happens every day. We’re doing so many things that are new. That’s one of the coolest parts of Queen Sugar—we’re offering a depiction of everyday black life you rarely see. AD: Representations of people of color in everyday life are so rarely seen in mainstream television. It’s also crazy that

34 OCTOBER/NOVEMBER 2016

you don’t see women directors reflected in the images that come out of Hollywood. You don’t see that in our political system. The idea that we cannot all find ourselves in multiple dimensions is a shame. It’s something that as artists, and as people who are forward-thinking, we can do something about. The characters of Queen Sugar are just people who are living life, and we try to amplify the magnificence of everyday black humanity. KS: Subconsciously it promotes Black Lives Matter, just by showing that black lives matter. There is no extra emphasis on it other than us just sharing the perspective of what we go through on an everyday basis. These are people we need to see, people we know— and if you don’t have those people in your life, [it’s important] to be able to see them on TV, and relate, because we are all one. I have so many black women friends who KOFI SIRIBOE respect you to the fullest. You’re holding your own. You are such a powerful influence. Not only are you able to give your product to the people but you’re also able to share your soul—and this adds up to something phenomenal. AD: I find that work begets work. I’m inspired when I’m working. Stagnation is what I fear, both creatively and in life—not being able to have the next idea. I’m just so blessed that I have ideas. I try to take those and water them and watch them blossom and grow.  TEENVOGUE.COM

EDITOR: SADE STREHLKE

PEACE TALKS As tensions flare between law enforcement and the communities they protect, some police departments are engaging teens to find solutions.

W

hen an unusually large number of high school students were victims and suspects of criminal incidents at gatherings in Fayetteville, North Carolina, in 2013, police chief Harold Medlock decided to try an unconventional route to curb the teen-onteen violence. He started the Chief’s Youth Advisory Council, where the city’s young people were invited to talk directly to his force about how they and their communities want to be policed. The results were tangible—there were no major incidents involving teens in 2015 and none so far in 2016. Similar programs also exist across America, from Seattle to Miami to Richmond, California. Now, as the nation reels from viral videos of unarmed blacks being killed by police, and from brutal violence against law enforcement, Medlock and the young people he regularly works with—such as 15-yearold Mailyn Nelson—hope the rest of the country can learn from their experience. —LINCOLN BLADES

38 OCTOBER/NOVEMBER 2016

Harold Medlock: Someone told me if I wanted to know what teenagers think about police, I needed to go where they are, which is the high schools. So we formed the Chief’s Youth Advisory Council, and it’s been a phenomenal experience. Mailyn Nelson: Before, we didn’t really know how to interact with police, and they didn’t really talk to us, but the program changed everything. HM: We’re just so much better connected now. Young people want to have fun; cops want to keep them safe. The students in this program have made recommendations to us that accomplish both. We’ve taken a lot of their advice, and it’s changed the way we do business. We’ve seen a tremendous reduction in violent crime affecting teens, and my department has also undergone a lot of de-escalation, self-awareness, and crisis intervention training. MN: We trust each other more. HM: We don’t always agree, but we’re able to ask each other questions, and listen to each other. We also have some raw conversations, like about the recent incidents in Baton Rouge and Dallas where officers were shot and killed. We want to build a relationship with our community through the CYAC so that if there’s tension, we all come together and figure it out. MN: And when there are videos of cops shooting people, I tell my friends that our police here aren’t like that; they’re good people. I’ve definitely changed some of my friends’ opinions about cops wanting to harm us. But I never could have accomplished that if I didn’t get the chance to have a conversation with them. HM: We also discuss the Black Lives Matter movement, and for me, it’s about learning how to alleviate those concerns. We have to acknowledge our differences, and then find common ways to overcome them. And if something did, unfortunately, happen here, we know one another, and people can come down and talk to me directly so we could keep that from happening again. Our goal is to be guardians of the city, not an opposing force. MN: More states and schools should start YACs; it could be a positive role model for America. HM: Yeah, it would be, and police should be the ones to lead the charge.  TEENVOGUE.COM

T

he comedy world may have once been ruled by men, but now it’s women who are laughing their way to the top. From the silver screen to the iTunes store (it’s all about podcasts), these girls are adapting their craft for every channel.

JESSICA WILLIAMS, 27 As one half of the comedy

podcast–slash–show 2 Dope Queens, the former youngest correspondent on The Daily Show, and the star of her very own upcoming Comedy Central series, Jessica has nailed the art of getting her powerful political message across and making people laugh at the same time. “We do 2 Dope Queens because we want to show that there are so many different stories for women of color and to showcase other comedians and storytellers with a different point of view,” she explains. “For me, genuinely laughing is such a part of the job. If it’s not fun, then what’s the point?” 42 OCTOBER/NOVEMBER 2016

family—and we’re not just talking about her famous big brother, Jonah Hill. “I get it all from my mom!” she says. “She is literally the funniest person in the world. She and Fran Drescher were separated at birth.” Beanie’s screen creds include roles in Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising, Orange Is the New Black, and the upcoming The Female Brain, but her sugary-sweet persona is far from being just part of her act. “I love a lot of duos, because it’s always so supportive and kind, in addition to being hilarious,” she reveals. “I like comedy that brings people up instead of bringing people down.”

SKAI JACKSON, 14 If the true test of a comedian is knowing how to laugh at yourself, Skai Jackson is way ahead of the curve. When memes of the Bunk’d actor’s pictureperfect smile and pristine posture went viral, Skai surprised everyone and reposted them to her own account. “I honestly

SEEING YOUR JOKES ON TV NEVER GETS OLD thought the memes were superfunny and harmless!” the Disney Channel star says. “What makes someone genuinely funny is if they have a good attitude, can make a bad situation better, and can always put a smile on someone’s face!”

LIZA KOSHY, 20

Liza’s social media tagline is “just a little brown girl with big dreams,” but to her, the message is big. “It’s absolutely amazing to be a voice that can speak to other little brown girls and tell them, ‘Hey, that melanin in your skin has nothing to do with what you can and can’t do,’” she says. Her own success story and massive fan base across YouTube, Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Vine, and Musical.ly are a testament to her mantra: “There is no limit.”

ALEXIS WILKINSON, 23 She was the first black female president of The Harvard Lampoon and a writer on Veep right out of college, and she now writes for Brooklyn Nine-Nine. But

Alexis actually applied to schools with a biomedical engineering degree in mind. “I thought, I’m just weird, and [comedy writing] is not a money-making skill, but I’m glad I turned out to be wrong,” she notes with a laugh. “Seeing your jokes on TV never gets old.” We think both HBO and network TV would agree.

CARLY AQUILINO, 25 Carly appeared on MTV’s Girl

Code and Girl Code Live, and she boasts more than 400,000 Twitter followers and tours all over—but her career actually started with a dare she made for herself. “I always wrote jokes and little skits, but I never thought I would have the nerve to go up onstage,” she admits. “I ended up just saying, ‘I’m going to try it once. If I hate it, I never have to do it again.’” Spoiler alert: “I loved it.”

LAUREN GIRALDO, 18

“I never imagined my career would begin on the Internet,” Lauren says of her fame, which was born out of her social media platforms. She started out on Vine; progressed to Instagram, YouTube, and Twitter; and is now executive producing a docu-series. Her shtick blends comedy and real talk, to hilarious result: “When I discuss serious topics, I just stay true to who I am.” —ELLA CERON AND SUE WILLIAMSON

PERFECT STRANGER

Triple threat Sonoya Mizuno takes fall’s peculiar style for a spin.

T

hese days, nobody sets out to be ordinary. But even without the white bucket hat and belted trousers she wore on her Teen Vogue photo shoot, Sonoya Mizuno is a total standout. The 28-year-old actress, model, and dancer (who can also sing!) got her start as a ballerina at London’s Royal Ballet School before being recruited by a model scout. “I started doing bits of modeling, but I had always wanted to be an actress,” she muses. “So after school, instead of working in a major ballet company, which is the usual route for people who train the way I did, I decided to take a huge risk and go freelance and have the opportunity to audition for acting parts and start taking acting classes.”

BALANCING ACT “My main focus is acting, but the dance part of me will always be there.”

Her real big break came quicker than she expected—after her very first audition, in fact—when Sonoya made her acting debut in last year’s awardwinning film Ex Machina. “I actually didn’t even audition for it!” she says with a laugh. “I auditioned to be one of the extras. I just thought, Oh, you know, maybe I can get my foot in the door.” As her extraordinary life would go, the director got in touch and had her try out for the part of the robot Kyoko , whose sleek futuristic fashion nearly stole the show. The health goth, ’90s, and Victorian styles Sonoya sports here may be far from her usual minimalist mode, but her willingness to go out on a limb is exactly what leads to her most exciting roles. The next, with Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling in the original musical La La Land, might be her most spectacular yet. “Just watching Ryan play the piano—I was like, Is this real life?” she gushes. For the rest of us, maybe not—but in Sonoya’s strange and unusual world, the answer is yes. —SUE WILLIAMSON

hen something is quite literally a labor of love, you know it’s going to be extra-special. So when we heard It Brits Suki Waterhouse, 24, and Poppy Jamie, 26, were creating a line of everyday accessories inspired by their tight bond, we had an anticipatory mini freak-out. “The brand has a huge emotional significance—we want it to be a symbol of friendship and of girls celebrating each other,” says Poppy, who is best known for her career as an MTV UK entertainment reporter. Model and actress Suki adds, “It’s also based off the concepts of simplicity and versatility. We designed our products to be timeless and universal rather than overly trendy.” The collection’s two carryalls—an ultrasoft suede tote and a compact camera bag that transforms into a backpack, fanny pack, and clutch, among other styles—can be customized via a selection of leather key chains like the iconic split heart. As for the jewelry? “We decided to do friendship necklaces,” Poppy says of the convertible chain, which can be hooked at different places to form a variety of fashionable options, including a bracelet or body chain. Make it your own by adding the line’s cheeky charms to the strand, and remember to stick to tradition and trade trinkets with your other half. As Poppy reminds us, “Life is always more fun when shared.” —A.M. TEENVOGUE.COM

rriving at his Teen Vogue photo shoot sporting a freshly shaved Mohawk, Asa Butterfield is quick to explain the cut. “I’ve been in Minneapolis for the past month shooting a movie where my character turns into a punk musician kid,” the London native says. Minutes later, dressed in the orange, oversize Raf Simons sweater he rocks so well on this page, the actor looks even more the part. Transforming into a different persona at the drop of a hat is nothing new for Asa, who, at 19, has already starred in big-name films including Hugo, Ender’s Game, and this fall’s Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, directed by Tim Burton. “I play Jacob, a regular boy who is taken into this totally alien universe filled with people with special powers,” he reveals. “So the movie really suited Tim’s gothic-inspired way of filmmaking.” With another lead role in the upcoming romantic sci-fi feature The Space Between Us, Asa is well poised for a career with dozens—if not hundreds—of crazy haircuts to come. —ARIANA MARSH TEENVOGUE.COM

ood news for anyone whose idea of fun isn’t pounding away on the treadmill: Activewear line Outdoor Voices is broadening the definition of wellness. “What we’re setting out to do is free fitness from performance,” explains 27-year-old founder and CEO Tyler Haney. “We want to redefine recreation as something that’s social and fun rather than competitive.” Whereas traditional sportswear brands generally debut their duds on svelte, stadium-bound athletes, OV depicts more realistic-looking models doing relatable things, such as walking dogs and stretching. “For me, activity is shapeless, so it was important to include all types of bodies,” Tyler explains, noting that adding larger sizes is a priority this year. “Lena Dunham was the first celebrity to wear our pieces, which was amazing, because she’s totally the type of person we want to see in Outdoor Voices. She has found a way to incorporate being active into her life, but she’s not defined as an athlete.” OV customers like Lena come together on Insta under #doingthings, where they share everything from exotic hikes to living-room yoga. “The moment you leave high school or college, you don’t really have an obvious community to be a part of and be active with,” Tyler notes. “That’s really what we’re trying to provide.” —SUE WILLIAMSON

joined a sorority in 2003 and lived in a house with 60 other girls. Naturally, there was a sense of competitiveness when it came to clothing. The aughts were a time when owning trendy items was important—they kind of legitimized you, unfortunately. I started out buying just one Juicy Couture item, but soon a retail addiction set in, and I ended up owning practically every piece the brand ever made. I had an especially soft spot for the tracksuits. Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Mandy Moore, and the rest of the pop princesses were all wearing them, so they seemed glamorous to me. It’s funny to see a trend that I wore obsessively 10 years ago

reemerge. When Vetements, the arbiter of street-style cool, collaborated with Juicy on a design inspired by the tracksuit for the fashion house’s spring 2017 show, it automatically rendered the look “in” again. I feel how my parents must have when bell-bottoms came back. Even if it was meant to be ironic, the designer runway rendition is still definitely more refined than the classic. By styling the MISSY ELLIOTT born-again trend with crop tops and elevated accessories, the Hadid sisters give off athleisure vibes, making it feel chicer. As if we need any more convincing that fashion is cyclical, Juicy Couture Black Label also recently relaunched a collection of its tracksuits, which it modernized via a campaign fronted by tastemakers like PARIS Ruby Aldridge, Atlanta de Cadenet HILTON JENNIFER Taylor, and Cipriana Quann—girls whose LOPEZ velour gang I’d join any day. It might be that we’ve done the whole ’90s thing to death. Or maybe it’s that tracksuits are an equally fashionable and comfortable interpretation of the classic athletic look (normcore 2.0?). But one thing is for sure: People are ready to take on the 2000s. Too bad I got rid of all my matching hoodies and low-slung pants the first time they went out of style. —AS TOLD TO ARIANA MARSH

et’s get one thing straight: No one is happier about the recent departure of cakey makeup and contouring than I am. I love seeing glowing, fresh faces in subway ads and my Instagram feed. But as a person who struggles with acne, I can’t help but feel victimized by the unattainable images in front of me. It’s not as if I want to spend my time and money applying base, cover-up, powder (and repeat)—but with acne scars and zits, the natural look just doesn’t come naturally to me. “I think people who have imperfections feel the need to use something heavier to cover it up, but no one really needs superthick foundation unless they’re on camera,” makeup artist Joanna Simkin advises. After being assured that my iPhone lens doesn’t count, I take her advice and mix sheer foundation with liquid illuminator to mimic the look of luminous skin. “Nothing will completely mask texture, but the reflective pigments will help the eye glaze over any flaws,” she explains. But, like anyone with blemishes, I worry about products that offer a quick fix but worsen the situation long term. “Helpful ingredients to look for are salicylic acid and retinol,” suggests celeb dermatologist Dennis Gross, M.D., whose Glow Pads instantly turned my grease into gleam. “If you have acne, all your products should be oil-free—including sunscreen, makeup, and moisturizers.” Cutting out oil and adding strategic shine I can do, but give up my prized pressed powder? Please. Luckily, makeup–skin care hybrids are popping up everywhere these days, and I’ve found a salicylic acid-infused compact that cures as it conceals. I never thought I’d say this, but I think I’m finally ready to post a selfie—#nofilter (for real). 

Skin Special PRETTY COOL

After colored contacts and bleach jobs, Shay finally gave up the blonde facade and embraced her uniqueness.

SHAY’S WAY

B

y now, it’s safe to say Shay Mitchell is a familiar face. In addition to playing Emily, the quietly confident girl next door on Pretty Little Liars, she was Nick Jonas’s love interest in the music video for “Under You,” and ruffled Jennifer Aniston’s feathers in the movie Mother’s Day. She’s also the new brand ambassador for Bioré Skincare (which makes total sense, given her diligent morning and night face-washing routine). But when Shay, whose mother is Filipina and father is of Irish-Scottish descent, was growing up in Toronto, she didn’t often see people who looked like her—on TV, or at her high school. “I was always trying to be something that I wasn’t,” Shay recalls. As a teenager, she dyed her hair blonde and wore blue contacts in order to blend in. But now, what was once Shay’s insecurity—looking different from everyone else—is what she values most. “As I got older, I started to realize that what I was born with is what I should be celebrating,” she explains. It helps that fans regularly tell her they’re happy to find themselves represented through her: “They say, ‘Oh, you look similar to me. I’ve always stood out, and it’s nice seeing someone who is of mixed heritage too.’” While Shay acknowledges it may not always be easy to fully embrace yourself, she insists it’s worth it. “It’s important to celebrate the fact that there is only one you,” she stresses. “Embrace the things you may not be as happy or as confident with right now. In the end, you will be.” —AMANDA CHAN

TEENVOGUE.COM

ince breaking into Hollywood more than 10 years ago, Chloë Grace Moretz has emerged as a true Tinseltown rebel. Avoiding the downhill career trajectory terrain typical of child actors nearing adulthood, this Georgia native has made a point of choosing her roles with care, gravitating toward the dark and offbeat. Her work includes appearances in such noteworthy dramas as Cloud of Sils Maria and If I Stay, as well as in the much-anticipated Brain on Fire. She’s also proved her comedic chops, holding her own against Alec Baldwin and Tina Fey on 30 Rock, and Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne in Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising. An ardent Hillary Clinton supporter, the 19-year-old actor recently had the often once-in-a-lifetime honor of speaking at the Democratic National Convention, urging her peers to get out and vote. Chloë navigates social media firestorms (including highly publicized Twitter feuds with at least two of the Kardashians) and an über-talked-about romance with Brooklyn Beckham with confidence and (as her namesake suggests) plenty of grace. Listen in as Chloë gets candid on a bicoastal phone call with her mentor and 2013 Carrie costar Julianne Moore. —ANDREW BEVAN Julianne Moore: Hi, lady! How are you? Chloë Grace Moretz: I just got lunch with my mama here in L.A. JM: Cool, cool. Let me see where I want to start here. What do you think it was that attracted you to acting when you were so very young? CGM: I think I was 10 years old when I watched Breakfast at Tiffany’s and saw Audrey Hepburn on the screen, and I remember reacting to her as an actress and just smiling. I recall thinking, That’s what I want to make people do. I want to make people feel. I want to make people have an experience when they go to my movies that they might not be able to have outside of that. Films were a place for me to find out more about myself, which became very therapeutic as I grew up. JM: How did you end up picking your projects, especially when you were that age? CGM: I never found the role of the little girl or the daughter very interesting. That’s why I wanted to make movies like Kick-Ass when I was 11 and Carrie when I was 15. I couldn’t not play the strong female in a movie, really. It just didn’t click. JM: In your 2012 interview with Teen Vogue, you said you hoped to write, direct, and produce your own movies. Is this still a goal for you? CGM: Yeah, it is, actually. My brother Trevor and I have ➤ OCTOBER/NOVEMBER 2016 67


always had this dream of directing something together. Now that the rest of my year has cleared up we’re looking to direct our first short film this fall. JM: That’s amazing! Good for you! You’ve grown up so gracefully in the public eye. CGM: A large part of the reason I’ve been able to navigate this business the way I have has been because of my mom and my brothers. I’ve been able to be dark and crazy and twisted in roles, or be comedic and driven and throw dirty tampons out a window like I did in Neighbors 2! I can go and do these wild things, but safely, because I can go home and have the support of my family. JM: That’s certainly what I observe with you, that you have a tremendous work ethic and are really grounded and loved by your family. I never, ever saw you on the set by yourself, which I have seen with other kids before. Because you have grown up in the public eye, is there anything you feel like you’ve missed out on? CGM: I’d be foolish to say that it hasn’t been hard as a young woman who is trying to calculate her own personal ideas in terms of politics or how she wants to use her voice

like everything in this industry is a long-distance relationship. Seeing my brothers is a long-distance relationship—every day when I’m not in L.A., I’m texting them and calling them and making myself a part of their lives. I’m reminding them that I may be gone for six months but I’m here, and I care, and I’m a part of the family, and I love them. So getting into a relationship with someone who also has lived some of their life between cities, from L.A. to New York to London, is easier. We both understand that there will be times when we can’t speak because we are too busy. Some of it is just based on trust. If you feel that you can trust each other and go eight hours without talking, then you have something that can withstand space and time. JM: You’ve been very outspoken and supportive about LGBTQ rights and have talked about two of your brothers who are gay. Why is it so important for you to voice your opinions on the matter? CGM: When I was 11, my brothers came out as gay, and it was a big deal for me. I never saw them differently but never understood how it would affect them until I saw how my friends or their friends or our family friends reacted to it.

AS A YOUNG WOMAN YOU FEEL LIKE YOU REALLY NEED TO HAVE EVERYTHING FIGURED OUT—BUT IT’S ALL RIGHT TO SAY, ‘I DON’T KNOW’ for the betterment of society. Those things have been difficult because society doesn’t really want you to be smart, put together, and well rounded. They want a story. They want a tabloid. Especially right now, in my newer relationship with my boyfriend [Brooklyn Beckham]. We’ll go out and there will be 15 paparazzi and we’re just going to a grocery store. We are real people and we’re having real emotional experiences, and all this is happening around us. Trying to keep ourselves in our own little world is difficult. JM: I don’t think that’s easy at all. It’s unfortunate that the media is driven by clicks and sensationalism. In terms of your boyfriend, I actually think you’ve handled everything very well. He’s a photographer and you’re into film. Have you ever worked together in a creative capacity or would you like to? CGM: I would definitely be more than happy to be shot by him any day. He’s grown up understanding a lot of the artistic sides of different industries, from his mom’s to his dad’s to now his own as an artist. JM: I’m trying to ask you questions about your boyfriend without getting too personal! How is it being in a longdistance relationship? CGM: You’re so cute! You know as well as I do that it feels

So, obviously, I picked up a mantle of protecting my brothers and advocating to show that they are humans— that gay rights are human rights and human rights are gay rights. I never felt there was ever a reason to not fight for LGBTQ rights. I just think—especially in the world we live in right now with Trump doing what he’s doing—it’s a time in which we all need to speak up, especially as millennials. That’s what social media is for. JM: What do you love most about your generation? CGM: I love how outspoken we are. People don’t live by these social structures anymore. Young kids that I’ve been talking to are growing up in a society where they can be who they want to be, and soon we might be able to look up at the highest seat in government office and see a woman as our president. I hope that we actually use the Internet and social media for the betterment of society. To continue to inform people about police brutality and about the amount of institutionalized racism within America. We have a space to communicate with each other and tell our stories and build a network so we can defend our rights. I just hope that we don’t let it take away our humanity. JM: When it comes to social media and the idea of sharing yourself, how do you decide what personal things you ➤

want to reveal and what you want to keep private? CGM: I remember when I first got Twitter when I was 11 years old and learning what selfies are and realizing when I was 15 that when my friends posted a photo of themselves in a bikini they got triple the amount of likes. I think it’s definitely been hard to decide what I want to show. People will post a lot and then they’ll complain about X, Y, and Z happening, and it’s hard to say they’re allowed to complain if they’re posting that much. You have to be very aware of what you’re putting out there on social media and how you’re portraying yourself. And don’t get caught up in the idea that it’s just for fun. JM: At the age of 19, what are things you are glad you know,

that make you feel more in control of your life? CGM: This year especially, I had to realize that it’s OK to ask for help—it’s OK to not know. As a young woman you feel like you really need to have everything figured out—but it’s all right to say, “I don’t know. I have absolutely no idea.” Keep good people around you because positivity begets positivity. I learned that the hard way. Just try to keep your head above the water and don’t get caught up in all the trash. I think another thing that is really helpful for young women to understand is that you’re enough. You don’t need that dress, you don’t need that compliment, you don’t need that post on social media. You, within yourself, are enough. And, finally, don’t underestimate the power of friendship. 

SCREEN TEST 74 OCTOBER/NOVEMBER 2016

Lights. Camera. Action! This year’s most IN-DEMAND up-andcoming ACTORS take the spotlight. PHOTOGRAPHED BY DANIEL JACKSON. TEENVOGUE.COM


Sasha wears a Calvin Klein Collection dress and shirt. Emilio Cavillini tights, $26. Alice + Olivia by Stacey Bendet shoes. Details, see teenvogue.com. FASHION EDITOR: BETH FENTON.

SASHA LANE

AGE: 20 HOMETOWNS: Dallas and Houston GAME CHANGER: Not only is she one of the biggest breakthrough talents of 2016, but Sasha, star of the runaway-teen drama American Honey, is also one of the most refreshing faces to arrive in Hollywood. Discovered on a Florida beach while on spring break, Sasha had no intention of entering show business. “I always said if someone were to randomly pick me up, I’d do it. Because I like the idea of making people feel something. So that beach day was a really good day,” she reveals with a laugh. KEEPING IT REAL: Now that she’s firmly planted in the industry, Sasha is focused on staying true to herself. “I wasn’t born into this, so I have an entirely different way of seeing things,” she says. “I can bring some type of light and beauty to who people really are, not just who people want you to be.” —ANDREW GELWICKS


JUSTICE SMITH

AGE: 21 HOMETOWN: Anaheim, California BIG DEBUT: When Justice found out he had been cast as Radar in the comedy-drama Paper Towns, he cried. “I had been wanting to act since I was a kid and had devoted my life to it,” remembers the creative, who attended an arts high school and worked mostly in community theater before catching his megabreak. “It was an amazing first movie for me to get. I related to Radar, so he was fairly easy for me to play, and my castmates became some of my best friends.” IN THE GROOVE: More recently, Justice starred in Baz Luhrmann’s Netflix musical drama series, The Get Down, which focuses on a group of South Bronx teenagers in 1977 who are experiencing the birth of hip-hop. “I was kind of new to rap when I auditioned for the show and was initially scared because I wasn’t much like my character,” says Justice, who portrays poet turned rapper Ezekiel. “The series really taught me what it meant to be an actor.” —ARIANA MARSH


Brianna Hildebrand wears an Ed Marler robe. Hilfiger Collection dress. Cole Sprouse wears a Topman Design robe, $380. Greg Lauren shirt, $363. Opposite page: Justice wears a COS turtleneck, $99. Takahiromiyashita The Soloist pants. Thom Browne New York boots. Details, see teenvogue.com.


THOMAS DOHERTY

Thomas wears a Faith Connexion shirt, $340. Calvin Klein Collection pants. Ella Purnell wears a Sacai jacket. Capezio leotard and tutu, $21 each. American Eagle Outfitters jeans, $60. Prada socks, $375. Golden Goose Deluxe Brand sneakers. Details, see teenvogue.com.

AGE: 21 HOMETOWN: Edinburgh, Scotland DOUBLE LIFE: Until his last year of high school, Thomas kept his love of acting and musical theater a secret. He led a Hannah Montana–esque existence as a soccer star to classmates while quietly nurturing thespian aspirations on the side. “Up until the age of 17, I wanted to play football, and I did acting on a parallel path,” Thomas says. “There came a point where I had to decide what I wanted to do, and I chose acting.” BIG-SCREEN DREAMS: The triple threat (he acts, sings, and dances) made his screen debut in Disney Channel EMEA’s musical series The Lodge, which premiered in the U.K. in September, and will appear in the Disney Channel original movie Descendants 2 next year. “It would definitely be the acting that I’m focusing on,” Thomas points out. So, despite his gift of song and charming moves, unfortunately there’s no album in the works—yet. —HANNA HOWARD


RYAN DESTINY

AGE: 21 HOMETOWN: Detroit COMING OF AGE: Ryan has experienced the growing pains of a high school teen twice: in real life and in her breakout role in the dark indie drama A Girl Like Grace. “I had to go to a lot of deep places I’ve never been before,” she notes of embodying her character’s struggles with bullying, violence, and sexuality. “It was such a raw role.... It was scary.” LOOKING UP: Ryan’s goal as an actress is to bring untold stories of struggle and triumph to light. “As a dark-skinned girl, I have many things that I’ve gone through that I wish more people would have addressed so I wouldn’t have felt so alone. I just want other girls to look up to me in that way.” STAR RISING: Ryan can be seen next alongside Lenny Kravitz and Queen Latifah in Star, a new musical series in which she portrays one of a trio of R&B pop singers fighting to make her voice heard. “My goal is to break the boundaries and everything a person thinks a black woman should be,” she says. “I just want to keep changing the game.” —TERRON MOORE

Ryan wears an American Eagle Outfitters jacket, $70. J. Crew top, $398. Ryan Storer earrings, $210–$298 per pair.


ELLA PURNELL

AGE: 20 HOMETOWN: London SILVER-SCREEN INGENUE: Elegant and effortlessly charming, Ella radiates a timeless glamour. The budding star, one of the leads in the new Tim Burton film, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, possesses self-awareness beyond her years. “When you’re growing up, the most important thing is to try to not change yourself too much. Be you, because everyone else is taken,” Ella advises. GOOD COMPANY: Having been involved in projects with some of the world’s most respected talents, she’s picked up on their acting techniques as well as some life lessons. “When I worked with Keira Knightley in Never Let Me Go, I learned how to be classy and sophisticated,” Ella shares. “When I got to know Margot Robbie on the set of The Legend of Tarzan, I learned just how important it is to be lovely to everyone you meet. She taught me that you can’t make any enemies in this job.” —A.G.


Thomas wears a Greg Lauren coat. Gap shirt, $30. Opposite page: Ella wears a Lyz Olko shirt, $150. Un Deux bolo tie (worn as headband), $80. Scosha earring, $235 per pair. Details, see teenvogue.com.


COLE SPROUSE

AGE: 24 HOMETOWN: Arezzo, Italy FAMILY MATTERS: Cole first drew attention in the late-’90s smash comedy Big Daddy, but it was the seven years working on the Disney Channel’s hit series The Suite Life of Zack & Cody that really put him—and his identical twin brother, Dylan—on the Hollywood map. “It was a massive pursuit that changed our lives tremendously,” he reflects. “That show really became a home away from home.” BACK AT IT: After that, the dapper talent took a five-year hiatus from acting to attend New York University. “I needed to know if I wanted to continue performing and had to step outside of myself to pursue other things.” Now, with an archaeological anthropology diploma in hand, Cole is back in the biz, playing Jughead Jones in the CW series Riverdale, a noir take on the Archie Comics universe. “My character is a weird and creepy kid, which is very fitting for me,” he jokes. IN FOCUS: While studying at NYU, Cole picked up photography; he hopes to continue pursuing it, focusing on blending the travel and fashion genres into one seamless style. “I grew up on camera so it came quite naturally,” he says. —KIRBY MARZEC


JACOB LATIMORE

AGE: 20 HOMETOWN: Milwaukee LIFT OFF: If you haven’t seen Jacob in Hollywood megahits like Ride Along and The Maze Runner, maybe you’ve heard his buzzworthy R&B bopper “Remember Me,” or seen his impeccable dance moves in its accompanying video. Or maybe you’re one of his more than 2.5 million followers on social media. “I’m not very private,” Jacob admits, naming Snapchat and Instagram as his favorite apps. UP NEXT: His star is likely to rise even higher, with roles in December’s big-screen drama Collateral Beauty alongside Will Smith, Kate Winslet, and Keira Knightley, and next year’s genrebending film Sleight. Musicwise, his EP Connection arrives this fall. “I want my songs to be so relatable they touch every emotion, and I want to play a variety of diverse roles,” he states. “I want to prove that I can be one of the greats.” —T.M.

Jacob wears an Early Halloween vintage jacket. Hanes T-shirt, $5. Polo Ralph Lauren shorts, $50. Sacai pants (worn underneath). Opposite page: Cole wears a Yang Li jumpsuit. American Eagle Outfitters shirt (worn underneath), $25. Early Halloween vintage sash and pin. What Goes Around Comes Around boots, $350. Details, see teenvogue.com.


BRIANNA HILDEBRAND

AGE: 20 HOMETOWN: College Station, Texas GIRL ON FIRE: As if appearing in a blockbuster with Ryan Reynolds isn’t envy-inducing enough, Brianna is also one of those badass beauties who can own any hairstyle. Whether blonde or brunette, buzzed or cropped, she’s done it all and rocked it with ease. As the total butt-kicker in Deadpool, Brianna has made a powerful mark on Hollywood. “I would love to be an example to young LGBTQ kids everywhere. I remember growing up and feeling like nobody in the media accurately represented me, and when they did, it was always made to seem like a bad thing,” states Brianna, who has been open about her sexuality on social media. JUST BEGINNING: Off camera, she also aims to work as a musical artist and has even toyed with directing: “I am really interested in storytelling in general— nothing is off-limits!” —A.G.


Ellar wears a Thom Browne New York jacket and pants. Opposite page: Brianna wears a Norma Kamali jumpsuit, $170. American Eagle Outfitters shirt (worn around waist), $45. Details, see teenvogue.com.

ELLAR COLTRANE

AGE:23 HOMETOWN: Austin, Texas IT BOY: Ellar’s involvement in Richard Linklater’s drama Boyhood, which was filmed over 12 years, was nothing short of life-changing. “I learned a lot not only as an actor but as a storyteller and filmmaker,” says the aspiring director, who began working on the movie at the age of 6. Ellar’s favorite moment of the project after being involved with it for more than half his life? “The end,” he discloses. “I think the best scene is the final one because everything the cast and crew shared over the last decade came to a head.” ROUND AND ROUND: The part-time model’s next big appearance is in the upcoming sci-fi drama The Circle, in which his character can be seen bickering with costar Emma Watson’s. “We had a lot of fun,” Ellar says. “I’m screaming and freaking out in a lot of the scenes, which was really satisfying.” Other upcoming projects include starring in Barry, a biopic about a young Barack Obama, and in Drowned, a rather personal film his friend wrote and directed. “I don’t have just one dream,” he admits. “I think I’m living them all.” —K.M.


HERIZEN GUARDIOLA

Herizen wears a Topshop jacket, $250. Early Halloween vintage tutu. American Apparel tights, $16. Chacott pointe shoes, $78. Opposite page: Ellie wears a Valentino dress. Lyz Olko shirt, $150.

AGE: 20 HOMETOWN: Miami FUNKY TOWN: Working with Baz Luhrmann is any actor’s dream, but newbie Herizen is already checking it off her list. “I express myself through doing creative things, and acting is one of those things that I’d never really done,” she says of auditioning for the role of Mylene, a Bronx native from a religious background turned disco-singing star on the Netflix musical series The Get Down. “I wanted to give it a try. I found that I really, really love it.” YOU CAN’T STOP THE BEAT: “Mylene and I have some similarities—we’re both singers who strive to reach the world with our voices,” Herizen explains. She adds that she spent time watching Donna Summer videos to learn how to sing in a whole new way because, “There are certain runs that weren’t even invented during that era that I had already been accustomed to singing,” Herizen says. “It was a history lesson. And a lot of fun.” —ELLA CERON


ELLIE BAMBER

AGE: 19 HOMETOWN: Crowthorne, England UNDEAD SERIOUS: Ellie captured Hollywood’s attention with her breakout role as Lydia Bennet in Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Her next big gig is equally creepy: In the inimitable fashion designer turned writer and director Tom Ford’s latest movie, the dark thriller Nocturnal Animals, she plays a Texas teenager whose parents are portrayed by Isla Fisher and Jake Gyllenhaal. “Working with Tom was an incredible experience,” Ellie says. “He has this extraordinary vision and eye for detail—everything he creates is very precise. I like to think of myself as a sponge on set, constantly learning and soaking up advice.” MASTER CHEF: When Ellie’s not in front of the camera, she can often be found in the kitchen. “I love to cook. Sometimes I’ll just hang out with my friends and make them katsu curry!” she says. In fact, Ellie will go to great lengths for the perfect food—for better or worse: “I once scaled a cliff to buy a strawberry and chocolate milk shake, only to find out the place had stopped making them.” —H.H.


Read My Lips

“Beauty is not about breaking the rules—it’s about playing up individuality, respecting the particularities of one’s face, and not feeling pressured to look a certain way,” notes Lucia Pica, Chanel’s global creative makeup and color designer. She used Chanel Rouge Allure Luminous Intense Lip Colour in Rouge Tentation on Julia’s lips, then dusted a similar rich brick hue on her lids. Julia wears a Jil Sander dress.

moment of shame for me. We were doing an episode of The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story; the female director we had lined up fell through, so I was like, “I’m just going to do it.” I thought, You know, this isn’t right. Why don’t I have a stable of women who can fill in? I should have that. In television and the movie business, the people who are promoted and the people who are mentored always look like the white guys. BL: It’s so true. And even if a woman director does her thing, it’s like they never come back. It’s like, “Oh, great, she got her directing job. Now she’s done.” RM: I was embarrassed of myself. What’s the point of having any power if you can’t use it? I met with the head of Fox and said, “I want half of all my crews to be women.” What has it been like for you when the set is 50 percent women? BL: It feels totally different. When you walk onto any set, it’s usually primarily men. Which can be weird, especially when Ryan Murphy: Your mother, Carrie Fisher, is known for you’re doing something emotionally challenging.

And that was a really, really nice feeling, and it made Billie Lourd: She told me to be true, and kind, and confident me more comfortable. The great thing about women directors in yourself.

The Chanels in Scream Queens. All the astonishing iterations of Jessica Lange in American Horror Story. Now his shows celebrate the women who work behind the camera, too. Earlier this year, Ryan created the Half Foundation, whose mission is to ensure that women—as well as minorities—make up at least 50 percent of the directors on his shows. Billie Lourd, who plays Chanel No. 3 on Scream Queens, recently caught up with the visionary to talk about the foundation, feminism, and the power of females on set. Is his mission working?
