Gal became a global superstar as Wonder Woman. She’s also a former Miss Israel and served in the Israeli army before hitting it big in Hollywood.
3. Zendaya (2017)
Zendaya has done it all, from Disney Channel shows to winning an Emmy for Euphoria. Not to mention, she’s also a real fashion trailblazer, known for her bizarre but very creative red-carpet looks.
4. Saoirse Ronan (2018)
Imagine receiving multiple Oscar nominations in your twenties! Yup, that’s our Saoirse. Lady Bird and Little Women are just a few of the memorable movies in which you can see her incredible talent.
5. Florence Pugh (2019)
Florence Pugh blew up in popularity with her role in the psychological horror movie Midsommar and will soon surprise everyone with more MCU appearances as the new Black Widow. She’s also known for her down-to-earth personality and love of cooking, which she frequently shares on Instagram.
6. Ana de Armas (2020)
One of the most gorgeous actresses to ever live, Ana de Armas, broke through with her role in Knives Out and later took on the difficult role of the iconic Marilyn Monroe in Blonde. Originally from Cuba, she’s become one of Hollywood’s most wanted talents in less than a year.

8. Sydney Sweeney (2022)
Sydney Sweeney does not need an introduction today, but just a few years ago, she was almost completely off the Hollywood radar. She rose to fame after starring in Euphoria and The White Lotus. The Madame Web fiasco didn’t help her case much, although she was the best part of that movie, to be frank.
9. Jodie Comer (2023)
Jodie became a real Hollywood supernova with her performance in Killing Eve, earning her a long-overdue Emmy award. But her most crucial skills are probably the ability to master different accents and transform into a plethora of different characters.
10. Emma Mackey (2024)
The newest addition to this yearly list is Emma Mackey, best known for her role in Sex Education. People frequently compare Emma to Margot Robbie due to their striking resemblance. Funny enough, she did star alongside Robbie in the 2023 hit Barbie, so you can’t see if they really do look alike.
