Victoria Pedretti. I was enthralled by her acting in the Haunting of Hill House and Bly Manor. She and Ayo Edebiri are household names for me, I love everything they do.
It’s my favourite filmed media I’ve ever seen, hands down. I love the rest of Flanagan’s work, but nothing has quite reached the sublime quality of HOHH
Honestly I thought fallout had CGI’d her eyes (like the movie Alita Battle Angel). I’m surprised Disney hasn’t snapped her up for a live action remake, definitely got animated huge eyes they use
I haven't finished the second season of Yellowjackets because I'm still so possed about what happened to Jackie. Obviously it was a blessing since she got the part in Fallout, but still.
I’ll hopefully be meeting her at a con soon 🥹 I absolutely cannot wait. She’s so stunning. I also love when actors fall into certain niches so the fact that she’s starred in two successful video game adaptions is fascinating to me.
Florence Pugh, Anya Taylor Joy, and at least in the horror fandom she’s considered a superstar and I fucking love her, Samara Weaving.
Simone Ashley is on the list of women I never want to be in the same room as cause I look like someone put a cheap Amazon wig on a toilet plunger in comparison, and my self esteem could never.
As a dark skinned brown girl, seeing people rave about Simone Ashley has been so wonderfully confusing! At first, I just thought everyone was exaggerating and being over the top and inauthentic, because someone who looked like me couldn’t possibly be deemed beautiful. But it’s been years of people raving about her beauty whenever she’s mentioned and I’m finally starting to see it and seeing it in my own features!
Simone is gorgeous and I am Tamil like her. Same with Maitreyi or charithra, all Tamil girls. I always got complimented on my skin, hair, eyes, beauty etc (mind you, in Europe) and I thought they are just being nice..but now thanks to these women and the adoration they get, I am starting to believe, all the compliments I receive, is truly genuine 😍
Omg fr I’m Tamil too and I love the appreciation because we’re under appreciated in India especially if we’re dark skinned and weirdly in the Tamil industry too?? It’s def refreshing to see
Beauty standards are sooo weird because to me, I’m utterly shocked that she wouldn’t be considered drop dead gorgeous anywhere??? She’s a literal goddess ?!?
She is drop dead gorgeous but there are many Tamil women who look like her and back home in India, they want a fair skinned woman as lead heroine. It sucks.
I loooove Florence’s voice. I’ve spent years forcing my voice higher than it naturally is because I thought I sounded too raspy and “masculine”. The first time I heard Florence speak I was immediately enamored and realized that my natural voice is actually pretty great!
Agree. I don’t think Florence belongs on this list, not because she isn’t crush-worthy but because she can’t still be considered as rising when she’s as successful as she already is.
There are a couple names on this list that have gone beyond simply “rising” and have fully landed. ATJ, Sweeney, Comer, Ortega, Edebiri are all (IMO) pretty cemented.
Jodie Comer was SO GOOD in the Bikeriders, like holy shit she was amazing. I loved her in Killing Eve but hadn’t seen her in anything else. She is TALENTED.
Okay okay okay hear me out I know the other half of this combo is nonbinary but the combo of Olivia Cooke with Emma D'Arcy has me swooning at the simplest of interactions
https://i.redd.it/hglbw1t6b89d1.gif
Yeah, I always fall for people when I see them being loving. It's like I totally speak that language and I'm recognizing a compatriot. Genuine affectionate joy is the single hottest thing I can think of.
god i cannot imagine what life would be like being that beautiful. like you wake up and you look like that???? how???? she's literally one of the most beautiful people i've ever seen its actually distracting
It’s on paramount plus, they have the streaming rights to it and that’s where you’ll find the newest episodes when it’s airing. The first season is also available on Netflix in Australia 🇦🇺
I have been SO in love with Daisy Edgar-Jones ever since I finished Normal People earlier this year. Something about her is just so natural and captivating. I don't have much faith in Twisters being a meaty role, but I'm hoping she gets more opportunities after getting exposure in a big summer movie.
Many of these aren’t rising any more, Florence. Anna, Jodie, even Daisy … they’ve done risen fam. If they have had 2+ memorable roles and most people know who they are, they shouldn’t be on this list imo.
I love this woman, not only is she funny asf and supremely talented, she’s also stunning. Deserves a better Bridgerton season cause for me she CARRIED hers (sorry)
Hannah Dodd and Lily James make me feel something as a mostly straight woman that I can't quite pin down. I struggle with wanting to BE them vs wanting to have sex with them.
ikr???? its crazy to me that since riverdale is over Reggie has had the most buzz out of any of them (he should've gotten a nomination for May December tbh)
re bridgerton, hoping that phoebe continues to do well. she's talented and in the words of lady cowper, she "has the face!!"
"A Negroni. Sbagliato. With prosecco in it." I won't say how many times I've watched that video, but I will say that it made me feel things every. single. time.
Their acting reminds me of Sarah Snook in succession. Not that they look similar but that they can both do some really insane things with facial expressions. Melt-me level acting.
i constantly go back to tiktok to watch an edit of them with the "rosa que linda eres" sound, they're so hot
In case you want to join me: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMrMEn7aB/
https://i.redd.it/7iduxc41b89d1.gif
Cailee Spaeny! She was excellent in Priscilla and knocked it out of the park in a deceptively tough role in Civil War this year. Looking forward to the new Alien movie too (and Knives Out 3!)
LMAO i get whiplash every time I see her mentioned online still, my mum was her german teacher/tutor and always still think of her as “the nice girl into acting from mum’s saturday classes” 💀
I honestly didn’t know I had a thing for gingers until Sadie Sink. I watched in Stranger Things, Fear Street, and All Too Well. So fucking pretty.
ive been surprised lately to hear most people didn't know who olivia cooke was before house of the dragon...Ready Player One, Bates Motel, Me Earl and the Dying Girl, Thoroughbreds, Sound of Metal....she's been on my radar for over 10 years now
She’s unfortunately always been extremely extremely underrated despite doing quality work for nearly a decade now
https://i.redd.it/pvvrq06ms89d1.gif
She can do it all
Absolutely adore this girlie. Can’t really say I’m crushing on her because I’m a straight woman that could also be her mum but ya know.

Anna Sawai! 
A face card that never declined
she was so fucking good in shogun… ugh. i need to rewatch it for her.
She is one of the most beautiful people I've ever seen tbh
the ultimate scene stealer in shogun!
Ugh yes. My boyfriend and I binged this show and I’d stop and just say, “oh my god, she’s so pretty!!!!!”
Ohh how could I forget
Yes! She was great in Godzilla, then I was in awe from Shogun.
YES
 Victoria Pedretti. I was enthralled by her acting in the Haunting of Hill House and Bly Manor. She and Ayo Edebiri are household names for me, I love everything they do.
The Haunting of Hill House may actually be my favorite show ever. She’s phenomenal.
It’s my favourite filmed media I’ve ever seen, hands down. I love the rest of Flanagan’s work, but nothing has quite reached the sublime quality of HOHH
she seriously deserved an emmy
It’s insane that was her first acting gig ever. She ooooozes talent!!!
Loved her in You, too. (Pun unintended 😆)
 Ella Purnell
Ella and Olivia Cooke have always looked like cousins to me lol
I definitely thought they were the same person for awhile! Both so gorgeous.
I think this is the answer. I think she has true staying power. Her role in Fallout was superb
She was sooo good in Yellowjackets too. She really blew me away in that
And her voice acting in Arcane!
She was sooooo good in fallout. Love that show
She is so adorable with her Bette Davis eyes
Our Queen 
shackie for life
Was looking for this. THOSE BIG GORGEOUS EYES😆
Honestly I thought fallout had CGI’d her eyes (like the movie Alita Battle Angel). I’m surprised Disney hasn’t snapped her up for a live action remake, definitely got animated huge eyes they use
I haven't finished the second season of Yellowjackets because I'm still so possed about what happened to Jackie. Obviously it was a blessing since she got the part in Fallout, but still.
I’ll hopefully be meeting her at a con soon 🥹 I absolutely cannot wait. She’s so stunning. I also love when actors fall into certain niches so the fact that she’s starred in two successful video game adaptions is fascinating to me.
Florence Pugh, Anya Taylor Joy, and at least in the horror fandom she’s considered a superstar and I fucking love her, Samara Weaving. 
Underratedddddddd, UNDERRRATEDDDD 
 Loved her in The Babysitter (1&2), too! She's stunning and such an amazing actress.
Absolutely a scream queen.
Simone Ashley is on the list of women I never want to be in the same room as cause I look like someone put a cheap Amazon wig on a toilet plunger in comparison, and my self esteem could never.
AGREE. Her face structure is pure art. Nothing you can just create with surgery. The angles are poetry
Facial structure is WOW
and she has the body of a high fashion model is crazy
hoping that she gets to be booked and busy and rides that bridgerton wave
In the meantime, time to rewatch sex education.
Brown girls getting their due. And specifically *dark skinned* and sometimes *curvy* brown girls…boy i used to pray for times like this…
As a dark skinned brown girl, seeing people rave about Simone Ashley has been so wonderfully confusing!

Omg fr I’m Tamil too and I love the appreciation because we’re under appreciated in India especially if we’re dark skinned and weirdly in the Tamil industry too?? It’s def refreshing to see
Tamil women are stunning!
Beauty standards are sooo weird because to me, I’m utterly shocked that she wouldn’t be considered drop dead gorgeous anywhere??? She’s a literal goddess ?!?
She is drop dead gorgeous but there are many Tamil women who look like her and back home in India, they want a fair skinned woman as lead heroine. It sucks.
If Simone Ashley is considered curvy then my body type is beached whale. She is stunning, but not thick.
Yes! I also love Maitreyi Ramakrishnan.
Its unreal how beautiful she is
Get out of my brain! I was thinking this exactly when I scrolled to her pics. She was sculpted by the heavens.
God Florence Pugh’s nose crinkle is so cute 🥰
https://i.redd.it/q8z5qn5ay89d1.gif She’s so cuteee
I loooove Florence’s voice. I’ve spent years forcing my voice higher than it naturally is because I thought I sounded too raspy and “masculine”. The first time I heard Florence speak I was immediately enamored and realized that my natural voice is actually pretty great!
 I'm pretty sure everyone in my friend group has a crush on her because... how can you not?
https://preview.redd.it/ry4c1lraz99d1.jpeg?width=2146&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3ab1cf7d3192e10012b2395fe60867e2765b208c
She has risen. My vote goes to Florence.
Agree. I don’t think Florence belongs on this list, not because she isn’t crush-worthy but because she can’t still be considered as rising when she’s as successful as she already is.
There are a couple names on this list that have gone beyond simply “rising” and have fully landed. ATJ, Sweeney, Comer, Ortega, Edebiri are all (IMO) pretty cemented.
Yea 
Jodie Comer was SO GOOD in the Bikeriders, like holy shit she was amazing. I loved her in Killing Eve but hadn’t seen her in anything else. She is TALENTED.
If you can, watch The End We Start From. She's amazing.
 Still waiting for a romcom with Daniel Radcliffe 😭
 I want nothing but good things for Matreyi Ramakrishnan.
I feel like anya and florence are well established and shouldn’t be on this list. also my answer is daisy EJ
Okay okay okay hear me out I know the other half of this combo is nonbinary but the combo of Olivia Cooke with Emma D'Arcy has me swooning at the simplest of interactions https://i.redd.it/hglbw1t6b89d1.gif
Yeah, I always fall for people when I see them being loving. It's like I totally speak that language and I'm recognizing a compatriot. Genuine affectionate joy is the single hottest thing I can think of.
Emma D’Arcy has me having thoughts. Especially their recent haircut and looks god. 
 The people's princess. The queen of Ireland. The inventor of brown eyes herself. Ayo Edebiri
Loooved her in the banshees of Inisherin, what an inspired performance
She was great in The Departed as well.
 Tea
Her facial expressions are just so real to me.
 Motherr
🇮🇪
Obsesssssed with her, I’ll watch anything she’s in or writes for.
Is that the actress in The Bear and Abbott Elementary? If so, she really has a special spark to her, she stands out in both shows
 Sophie thatcher, but also anyone from the Yellowjackets cast
god i cannot imagine what life would be like being that beautiful. like you wake up and you look like that???? how???? she's literally one of the most beautiful people i've ever seen its actually distracting
Where do you stream yellowjackets i can’t find it anywhere?
It’s on paramount plus, they have the streaming rights to it and that’s where you’ll find the newest episodes when it’s airing. The first season is also available on Netflix in Australia 🇦🇺
I have been SO in love with Daisy Edgar-Jones ever since I finished Normal People earlier this year. Something about her is just so natural and captivating. I don't have much faith in Twisters being a meaty role, but I'm hoping she gets more opportunities after getting exposure in a big summer movie.
Hannah Waddingham deserves to be on this list
God she was such a loser in that movie lmao. Love a good movie / tv show where teenage girls could be awkward losers *Derry Girls*
THIS IS WHAT I CAME TO SAY. She’s just fucking awesome
Man she was SO GOOD in shiva baby
Yes her character in under the bridge 👌👌
She's so regal. And she has such a kind face. There's something gentle and empathetic in her bearing. (Sorry I'm sounding so poetic)

https://i.redd.it/o5azz9tvj89d1.gif Chokehold she has on me is actually no joke
https://preview.redd.it/orv6erhc299d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c2adaa3bc4927b5b6ece43a964dac168a74a7d61
https://i.redd.it/ac30mog6499d1.gif Me when I saw her Savage FENTY ad
Great in sound of metal
Yessss, someone told me I resemble her and that was the best compliment I’ve ever gotten.
https://i.redd.it/q1kiimg1x89d1.gif So basically you pretty and alluring asf? Huge W for you girl
Is Florence Pugh rising anymore or is she just a star?
Many of these aren’t rising any more, Florence. Anna, Jodie, even Daisy … they’ve done risen fam. If they have had 2+ memorable roles and most people know who they are, they shouldn’t be on this list imo.
 Aka the woman with the perfect breasts. I aspire to be so eloquent one day.
Is that the girl from Derry Girls?
Yes
And Big Mood!!!! Check it out!
I love this woman, not only is she funny asf and supremely talented, she’s also stunning. Deserves a better Bridgerton season cause for me she CARRIED hers (sorry) 
 She is a knock out! I love her
This is my vote. I love a girl with big boobs and big hips getting the love we deserve!
1- I don’t think Anya is a rising star. 2- Kathryn Newton 
Yes finally someone said Kathryn Newton!!!
 Julia garner in Ozark was just *chefs kiss* 🤌🏼
And her in maniac And her in the Americans How can she make me feel so much??
Sadie Sink 
Hannah Dodd aka Francesca Bridgerton. She is so stunning omg
Hannah Dodd and Lily James make me feel something as a mostly straight woman that I can't quite pin down. I struggle with wanting to BE them vs wanting to have sex with them.
[удалено]
Just ethereal
I’m still rooting for Lili Reinhart. 
my bisexual queen 🫡
ikr???? its crazy to me that since riverdale is over Reggie has had the most buzz out of any of them (he should've gotten a nomination for May December tbh)
She’s finally freeee from RIVERFALLL  Girl needs to get those roles now
Milly Alcock! 
Supergirl now
She looks SO GOOD in the latest season of Abbott. I was like damn Quinta, I see you.
it’s crazy watching Quinta rise in fame because I immediately recognized her from Buzzfeed
I scrolllllled way too long for Quinta 
 Kaitlyn Dever is wildly talented and quite adorable.
Yes she was incredible in Unbelievable! Just so natural. I could watch her all day.
Jodie Comer. Always.
Was questioning my bisexuality and then I watched Killing Eve. Jodie cemented it for me!
https://i.redd.it/hlmrquoq099d1.gif She’s oof
Jodie is a timeless beauty.
 I seriously want to marry this woman. Flo, if you’re reading this, please accept my proposal!
 Queen supreme! I’m willing to fight anyone who disagrees.
 Taylor has been so fun to watch especially her fashion!
I’m obsessed with Killing Eve, Jodie Comer nailed that role.
re bridgerton, hoping that phoebe continues to do well. she's talented and in the words of lady cowper, she "has the face!!" 
 Riley Keough, I don’t even mind that she’s a nepo baby as I think she’s a great actress (Elvis’ granddaughter)
Omg yes, her eyeeeees. If you haven’t, watch Under the Bridge on Hulu. Her and Lily Gladstone are phew ❤️🔥🔥🥵
I love the risks she takes with her roles. She was so unhinged in Zola.
https://preview.redd.it/qgk16isiv79d1.png?width=540&format=png&auto=webp&s=039f1f95dabd9ba22909eaf79018a0add40dcd87 Emmy D’Arcy They’re 🥵❤️🔥
"A Negroni. Sbagliato. With prosecco in it." I won't say how many times I've watched that video, but I will say that it made me feel things every. single. time.
Even though I did not enjoy the drink!
They hate this meme lol. Olivia especially. Emma is just embarrassed BUT I LOVE IT
Ooooooohhh Stunnin’!
I’m pretty sure I’m straight but they make me question myself
They are so naturally striking 
Their Rhaenyra is just the most expressive and stunning character I’ve seen in a long time. I can’t take my eyes off them in any scene they’re in.
Their acting reminds me of Sarah Snook in succession. Not that they look similar but that they can both do some really insane things with facial expressions. Melt-me level acting.
i constantly go back to tiktok to watch an edit of them with the "rosa que linda eres" sound, they're so hot In case you want to join me: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMrMEn7aB/

Angourie Rice 
LMAO i get whiplash every time I see her mentioned online still, my mum was her german teacher/tutor and always still think of her as “the nice girl into acting from mum’s saturday classes” 💀
I honestly didn’t know I had a thing for gingers until Sadie Sink. I watched in Stranger Things, Fear Street, and All Too Well. So fucking pretty. 
I know they identify as non-binary but Emma Darcy
All of the above
Same! How is anyone picking just one??
Simone Ashley. She's beyond beautiful.
 Ella Purnell
 Same, counting the minutes till Maxxxine is out
 They should kiss tbh
Pugh/Comer FTW
 Molly Gordon
 The characters she plays always elevate the works that she’s in. LOVE her.
Simone Ashley she's stunning and looks like a hindu goddess. https://i.redd.it/xlgyjiv2i89d1.gif
 Hunter Schafer is that girl 💕
This whole thread just screams the glory days of tumblr
 Renee Rapp
ive been surprised lately to hear most people didn't know who olivia cooke was before house of the dragon...Ready Player One, Bates Motel, Me Earl and the Dying Girl, Thoroughbreds, Sound of Metal....she's been on my radar for over 10 years now
She’s unfortunately always been extremely extremely underrated despite doing quality work for nearly a decade now https://i.redd.it/pvvrq06ms89d1.gif She can do it all
Ditto. I was obsessed with her as Emma in Bates Motel. So simple, but I couldn't imagine anyone else in her role.
 Absolutely adore this girlie. Can’t really say I’m crushing on her because I’m a straight woman that could also be her mum but ya know.
Florence, Ayo, Anya, Daisy, Simone, Olivia, Jenna, Sydney… (also Anna Sawai and Lili Reinhart) 🥵 Unbelievable talent and beauty in this new class.
Jodie Comer is it for me
 Margaret Qualley
 Maya Hawk
Wow, she got both of her parents’ best features!
 And she seems like a fun gal too!
Nicola Coughlan, period. Not only is she STUNNING, she seems really smart and thoughtful. I’d love to be her friend! 
Jodie Comer, for sure
