Yara Shahidi adds some cool color to the tips of her hair while re-shooting a scene for her movie, The Sun is Also A Star, in New York City over the weekend.
The 19-year-old actress rocked some bright orange pants and was joined by co-star Charles Melton for the re-shoots.
The movie, based on Nicola Yoon’s book, follows two teens who fall in love during one magical day amidst the fervor and flurry of New York City. But the fate that brought them together also threatens to tear them apart as Natasha faces her family’s impending deportation.
The Sun Is Also A Star is set to hit theaters on May 17th.
It’s the 60th anniversary of Barbie and Yara Shahidi is in full celebration mode!
The 19-year-old Grown-ish actress hosted an anniversary party with singer H.E.R. on Friday night (March 8) at 505 Broadway in New York City.
Earlier that day, Yara‘s Barbie doll was unveiled as part of International Women’s Day. 20 role models from around the world were turned into dolls for the special day.
“It’s really surreal just because this was never within my realm of possibility. I never thought, ‘Oh yeah, one day I’ll have my own doll’ or anything like that,” Yara said (via ET Canada). “It really amplifies and reaffirms this idea that we can excel in whatever field.”
Also at the party was The Act actress AnnaSophia Robb. H.E.R. was seen meeting up with the event’s 12-year-old DJs Amira & Kayla, who spun for part of the night.
She wore a fuzzy white sweater, polka-dot white and green pants, white pumps, a tiny bow in her hair, and gold hoop earrings.
Yara has recently been named a Barbie role model, receiving a one-of-a-kind doll made to look like her, for pushing boundaries and inspiring the next generation of girls.
“What today represents, at least for me and for my peers globally, is that quite honestly, not even the sky is the limit,” Yara said during her speech (via her Instagram Stories). “I believe it is crucial to not only myself, but young girls everywhere, to understand they have the support of people, of corporations, of movements here to help them achieve their dreams.”
FYI: Yara is wearing a Marc Jacobs outfit and shoes with Jennifer Fisher hoop earrings.
The 19-year-old actress and activist is one of 38 females who are part of the 2019 Barbie Shero collection in honor of the brand’s 60th anniversary and International Women’s Day.
“I’m honored to be repping all the young ones as a Barbie Role Model☀️Let’s continue to inspire the next generation and each other⭐️ We need your voices and are watching you all Blossom and shine! #YouCanBeAnything #Barbie60 #barbie,” Yara shared on Instagram.
Zendaya is joined by tons of famous friends at her Tommy x Zendaya Fashion Show on Saturday night (March 2) at the Theatre des Champs-Elysees in Paris, France.
The 22-year-old actress looked pretty in a gray suit as she was supported at the debut of her collection with Tommy Hilfiger by Gigi Hadid and Yara Shahidi.
