122 Young Celebrities, Actors, and More You Should Be Paying Attention to
As we welcome Teen Vogue's New Hollywood Class of 2025, we are taking the time to also celebrate the young celebrities shaping up to be the next generation of tastemakers. Enter: Teen Vogue's New Hollywood rising stars of 2025.
Mason Thames, Mckenna Grace, and Leah Sava Jeffries lead this year's group with honors as our cover stars, but it couldn't possibly be a full class with just three people. From teenage staples who should still be in high school but instead have years of experience in the industry to up-and-coming talent who took the time to perfect the act of auditioning and on-the-rise names taking over IMDb, we are celebrating the young talent reshaping Hollywood and beyond — one storyline, one music video, one TV show, and one movie at a time.
Bookmark this page and keep a tab on these 122 rising stars and young celebrities because you will be seeing them everywhere in the coming months — both on their own and together, because teamwork makes the dream work!
