But no matter how much Hollywood changes, and how much the people inside are subject to forces (AI, capitalism) beyond their control, the idea of it lives on as an encapsulation of something simple: Art that people love, hate, dissect over the dinner table, obsess over online.<\/p>\n That’s why fandom in its many forms is a focal point of Teen Vogue’s New Hollywood Class of 2025. Our three cover stars \u2014 Leah Sava Jeffries<\/a>, Mckenna Grace<\/a>, and Mason Thames<\/a> \u2014 are teen titans, photographed by Angalis Field<\/a>. Each performer has played key roles in projects that have deeply engaged, invested fans.<\/p>\n Mckenna Grace, 19, and Leah Sava Jeffries, 16, both had their first onscreen roles when they were about five years old; as culture editor Kaitlyn McNab notes in a forthcoming Teen Vogue video interview, that practically makes them industry veterans. Thames, 18, started not much later, beginning his career as a preteen. And all three have broken through in a major way in the past few years.<\/p>\n Leah Jeffries wears [shirt](https:\/\/cna.st\/affiliate-link\/7zscoHCrWNbASdW6Gg9gof12kjcLHXM8bj4uaBf91FKXq2GSPxRPS36pmgzKTbDvyUjrtWhtckCZbtmoRJ6W5gmJe3uJkJdVQgy7EPsExM7emjFrwJQwA9DZvTkrqZtPFRwncimjWP8uwccRAgs2kC9PmZRL6EXzfH862AiCBJ9F3UzWWsBLccnp4ZG3EBS6c5xE68sMwhtf7ixvvtvqwagJcin3ubJKicbEpwd9eygehNjmbAmQnkxTvqDwyqa1ywkBNDnMSqdVEFqkWunFkTCwcaDqmF8JXU7){: rel=”sponsored” target=”_blank” isAffiliateLink=”true”} and [skirt](https:\/\/www.gucci.com\/us\/en\/pr\/women\/ready-to-wear-for-women\/skirts-for-women\/long-skirts-midi-skirts-for-women\/flora-lace-skirt-with-beads-p-845079ZATM37005){: target=”_blank”} by Gucci, [T-shirt](https:\/\/cna.st\/affiliate-link\/3kFAWYpoG8awFkFT7VJJhXasXuYRCM1r2eX8hQmfRqD6eBGkyUBm86Ebt8EPPdWLrsrA6hc4pQKrwqvXZeLUj9edroc78zYgcNPhDueuX3UYMryMo66zzuuHuoWWGdUQHcqsyTfZLGksAX1ZJSxhRfAXBEQ1GmNvFKTtVzjdZ43k3ioJD8JMA55JHB7WoSGDm99s1){: rel=”sponsored” target=”_blank” isAffiliateLink=”true”} by Cotton Citizen.

A young Black girl once told Jeffries how meaningful it was to see Annabeth portrayed as a Black teenager in a complex, fun leading role. Thames has expressed how much he feels a pressure to \u201cdo right by\u201d the fans who adore Hiccup. Grace has seen how fandom becomes intergenerational in the response to Ghostbusters, with grandparents, parents, and teenagers all bonding over different iterations of the beloved story.<\/p>\n They have also seen some of the negative sides, of course, but all three stars come back to how fun this is all supposed to be. They’ve learned when to step away from the screen and how not to take the bad aspects too seriously. They’re growing up, figuring out the kind of adults they will become, alongside the fans who love their work and see themselves in their trajectories.<\/p>\n Below, explore their cover stories, written by Kaitlyn McNab (Leah Sava Jeffries<\/a>), P.
