IS BILLIE STRUGGLING WITH HER CONFIDENCE? You’ve probably noticed that Billie Eilish has stepped out of her comfort zone lately. With more revealing lyrics, a change in her wardrobe and a hair makeover, we’ve all seen a seemingly more happy Billie. But, she confesses that everything is not as it seems. “The funny thing is that the older I’ve gotten, the less confident I’ve gotten,” Billie admits. “I re-watched [my documentary] a few weeks ago, and it made me cry because I was thinking how free-spirited I was and how open-minded I was.” So what has caused such a change in Billie’s self-esteem? Well, being in the public eye! “The media just, like, tears it away from you,” she says. “And it’s not fun right now so I’m figuring it…

If we asked you to picture Shawn Mendes as a little kid, what do you envision? Not the way he looked or talked, but the way he acted. Was he serious or silly? Outgoing or shy? We’ve all gotten to know Shawn since he was around 14 years old, but that younger version of him is way less familiar. Luckily, Shawn is letting us in on what he was like way before the world knew his name. As a kid, Shawn could be described with one word: Driven. He was obsessed with being the best and, with his dad as his biggest hero and mentor, he was constantly being guided in that direction. “My dad loved me more than anything, but he pushed me,” Shawn shares. “He wanted me to…

OLIVIA’S HAPPY AND HEALTHY YEAR! There’s no question that 2021 was Olivia Rodrigo’s year. She released her first single, “drivers license,” and it debuted at number one.

She also starred in the second season of High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, visited the White House, won her first, second and third VMA Awards and became an authentic voice of her generation.

IT TOOK YEARS FOR HAILEE TO GET HER FIRST ROLE! Today Hailee’s acting dreams started when she was just 8 years old. After seeing her cousin acting in a commercial, she knew it was something she had to do, too. “My mom said, ‘If you take acting classes for a full year, we’ll look into it,’” Hailee shares. Those acting classes lead to auditions, but she didn’t book her dream gig overnight. “From 8 to about 12, I learned very quickly what rejection felt like,” she shares. Then, at 13, she was cast in the movie True Grit, and her life was forever changed! Since then, Hailee has starred in movies like Romeo & Juliet, The Edge of Seventeen and Bumblebee. She’s also kicked off a singing career and starred…

What were your favorite hobbies when you were eight years old? When she was eight, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia native, Isabella Dymalovski, loved dancing. But, after each performance, she’d have on loads of makeup that she wanted to take off and no products just for her. Her mom’s makeup removers were too harsh for her young skin, but she also hated the idea of using childish baby products. “So, my mum said, ‘Fine, try making your own products,’ and that's kind of how it started — as a bit of an argument with my mum!” Isabella, now 19, tells us. “I FOUND A GAP IN THE SKINCARE MARKET” From there, Isabella began experimenting with ingredients to make a face wash that was perfect for her skin. It was a fun new…

THE BOLD CARDIGAN Sites like Cider and Shein have great selections of cardigans in bold, colorful, trippy patterns.

For Zendaya, being one of the best-dressed stars is about more than just playing dress-up. Expressing herself through what she wears is her confi dence secret weapon! “I really have been lucky to find, through fashion, a lot of confidence,” she shares. “Dressing up and trying new things is a form of exploring my confi dence, exploring what I like. I get to be these different characters. It’s like an alter ego.” As an introvert, the red carpet is the one place where Zendaya can live as loudly as she wants. “Style-wise, I am fearless,” she says. “Fashion has given me that vehicle to not care. Literally, the only opinion that should matter when you look in the mirror should be your own.” We’re celebrating Zendaya with our favorite red…

The word “sweet” is interesting. The dictionary defines it as being, “pleasing in general.” That doesn’t sound too bad. But, when you think about it, sweet is an adjective that’s often used to describe women or girls. Why is that? Olivia Rodrigo has some thoughts! “I DIDN’T STICK UP FOR MYSELF” The “drivers license” singer has noticed that being sweet is a quality often expected of girls. “I think women are praised for always being nice and kind and helpful,” she says. “That's something that I've had to outgrow as I grew up as a young woman in the world — that notion of being sweet is the end-all.” To be clear, there’s nothing wrong with being nice, kind and helpful. You should help others and be kind, but you…
