Meet Our 2016 Fresh Faces

It's Marie Claire's third-annual May Fresh Faces issue, our spotlight on some of the most exciting up-and-coming talents today. Here, and being fêted at our Fresh Faces party at Los Angeles' Sunset Tower hotel tonight, five women who are changing the game.

On learning more details surrounding her dad's transition along with the rest of the world in his Diane Sawyer interview: "I've always known. It was a secret we just couldn't talk about."

On her ability to influence others and have fun with it: "I started wigs, and now everyone is wearing wigs. Kim [Kardashian] just used my wig guy last night...I just do whatever I want to do, and people will follow."

On posting photos on social media: "When I post sexy photos, I always regret it. Like, Oh my God, everyone is seeing my body. I get really weird about it."

On why she returned to Disney: "A big reason why I wanted to come back to Disney is because I saw a lack of diversity on the channel. To see a black family, to see a young girl with these adorable Afro puffs…little things like that are so important."

On going to the Grammys after-party with her dad and New York Giant, Odell Beckham Jr.: "If a guy can handle my dad the first time, then he's worth giving my time to. If he can't, then I might as well not waste my time. Just because they're in the NFL doesn't mean they get a pass."

On not worrying about what other people think: "I wore a freaking mullet to the Grammys. I felt like I was killing it. And I was. That's all that should matter when you step out."
