Beyond the Mirror: 10 Actresses Transforming How We See Beauty on Screen (2 of 6)

Zendaya

Zendaya’s beauty philosophy centers on versatility and representation. Whether she’s playing Rue in Euphoria or dazzling on the red carpet, she uses her platform to expand visibility for young women of color and to reject rigid gender and beauty expectations. She’s as comfortable bare-faced on camera as she is in couture, proving that confidence is the new definition of gender, not conformity.

Florence Pugh

Known for her grounded energy both on and off screen, Florence Pugh refuses to let Hollywood’s expectations shape her identity. From Little Women to Midsommar, she’s championed emotional honesty over appearance and called out body-shaming in the industry. Her openness about self-image reminds fans that power lies in owning, not altering, your presence.
