Yara Shahidi is at the Head of Her Class

Yara Shahidi is the bright young star responsible for portraying Zoey Johnson in Freeform’s teen comedy “Grown-ish” and Emmy-nominated “Black-ish”. Since landing her first major film role alongside Eddie Murphy in “Imagine That”, Yara’s been super successful as a television and movie actress, a social activist and a student. She received a recommendation letter from Michelle Obama to attend Harvard University, where she was ultimately accepted. Yara also started Eighteen x 18 alongside media outlet NowThis to promote voting in the U.S. 2018 midterm elections.

Between classes and days on set, Yara still finds time to make sure her personal sense of style is always shining through. Check out some photos of this rising star’s pleasantly eccentric wardrobe and don't forget to follow her on Instagram @yarashahidi
