When Storm Reid starred in Ava Duvernay’s A Wrinkle In Time she quickly began to land on ‘under 30’ watch lists. This was following her feature role in the Academy Award-winning film 12 Years A Slave. At just 14 years old, she was already taking Hollywood by storm (pun intended).
Over the years we watched her blossom as an actor and a leader. This year, we’ve began to see Reid in a whole new light. As she matures, so does her style. We’re seeing the star step out in more avant garde fashion-forward looks. And as her fashion morphs, her hair and makeup transforms. She’s trying different trends, and they’re working for her.
As we prepare to step into 2020 in the next two weeks we’re taking inventory of the 2019 tastemakers that we expect to shake things up. The 16-year-old actress has positioned herself as one of those starlets in the beauty space.
And if you’re unsure, we question your taste level. But we also have 20 photos that show how Storm Reid has become a 2019 beauty who we’ll be crushing on well into next year.
