Since the moment she first stepped up on to a TV set at just 13 years old, Zendaya has been a force in fashion and beauty. The star, now 21, is the face of CoverGirl, has her own clothing line, Daya by Zendaya, and even developed her own app, where she produces beauty tutorials and shares fashion and life advice. So with her sartorial sense, amazing head of hair and knack for applying makeup (she sometimes even does her own for red carpet events), she has women everywhere looking up to her — and she’s well aware of the responsibility that comes with it.
“I’ve had the luxury of watching people do this before me, and I realize that [being a role model] is actually a huge part of the job,” she says in her cover interview for InStyle‘s January issue. “You sign up for that. You’re being watched. You can choose to accept that and appreciate it, or you can choose not to. That’s 100 percent your choice. I choose to acknowledge it.”
