5 Teen Vogue Editors Put CUUP Swim to the Test
Here's the good, the bad, and the improvable.
The young person’s guide to conquering (and saving) the world. Teen Vogue covers the latest in celebrity news, politics, fashion, beauty, wellness, lifestyle, and entertainment.
This year we're celebrating young celebrities who have made an impact on entertainment in unconventional ways. Teen Vogue introduces its Young Hollywood Class of 2021.
Something funny happens when the world turns upside down. There’s panic, sure. But if catastrophe unfurls long enough, revelations start to creep into the darkest places. Listen to those long enough and you might learn a thing or two about who you’ve been, who you are, and who you might want to be.
That’s what happened to me over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic . I’ll spare you the messy details, suffice to say that I’ve had my health and the privilege of boredom. I’m not usually one to spout off some creativity checklist when given months of unscheduled free time, particularly when the news is filled with Very Bad Things like mass preventable death and white supremacist uprisings. But I had my moments. I learned how to use a drill, fell in love with(?) hiking, and have become reasonably adept at audio production, all things that I think qualify me for lesbian sainthood. But my greatest and most consistent teacher during this whole mess has been a completely unlikely source: TikTok .
More than any TV show, movie, or podcast, TikTok has given me joy. And it’s not just me. Throughout the pandemic, millennials have found — or, depending on who you ask, invaded — TikTok. It’s a platform that’s been built for and populated by Gen Z, filled with irreverence and malleability that makes the formulaic Facebook statuses of yesteryear look particularly antiquated. In the same way that Gen Z eschews labels for gender, sexuality or genre, TikTok creators embrace the same fluidity. A well-curated For You Page could include any number of Gorilla Glue girl hair parodies to easy ramen recipes. But make no mistake, it’s the creators themselves that make the platform what it is. I remember when Elsa Majimbo first popped up on my For You Page, her hair slightly unkempt, her laugh uproarious, her tone completely unbothered. “I wanted to meet up but oop,” she said to the camera about the upside of having a reliable excuse to avoid social outings. “It’s a pandemic!”
And it was nice to finally laugh about the pandemic. To date, nearly half a million people in the United States have died from COVID-19 . It’s the type of loss so big and so persistent that it can make you feel numb. As the months dragged on and the death tolls mounted, it was poor people , working-class people, people of color, and front line workers who suffered the worst. They were the ones delivering our meals or dropping out of school to help keep their parents’ small businesses afloat. They were more likely to rely on infrastructure that failed them and institutions that were never meant for them. And they were failed by a Trump administration that openly trafficked in white supremacy while contesting a presidential election ultimately culminating into a deadly insurrection on the Capitol .
The outrageousness of COVID’s disparate impact, along with the protests that erupted in June after George Floyd’s death, made moments like the one where influencer Caroline Calloway told comedian and writer Ziwe Fumdoh on her Instagram Live show that she “deserves an ally cookie or something” all the more cringeworthy. “There are no cookies in this game,” Ziwe responded, flatly.
Of course, that doesn’t mean the game can’t be fun. TikTok, and social media in general, is where we found joy and connection, like videos of twerking ducks , parodies of pointless Zoom meetings, and recreation of God’s misheard directive to make dinosaurs meatier. The laughter, the dances, the absurdity kept us calm, made us hopeful, and helped us pass the time.
And let’s face it, that wasn’t an easy thing to do. With so many competing disasters vying for our attention, it was hard to focus on any one thing for more than a few minutes at a time. Our minds had to adapt. So did our entertainment. Music festivals were canceled, live shows were banned, tapings were delayed or reconfigured and even our beloved awards shows had to adapt to being held virtually. The one place where low production didn’t feel forced, where brevity and repetition made a perfect fit, was on social media.
This year’s Young Hollywood creators are focused on the people that kept us entertained. Disruptors in an industry that is desperately in need of change. People at the front of the culture, pushing us to think, laugh, dance, and cry. A new generation that's mastered the ability to speak directly to their audience moving seamlessly from one platform to another.
It takes extraordinary talent to shine through a year of pandemic, protests, and a presidential election. But these rising stars did just that. Meet Teen Vogue 's Young Hollywood Class of 2021.
Charli D’Amelio, the 16-year-old social media personality who burst onto the scene with a series of relatable dance videos and has since turned her everyday teenage life of voice overs and at-home science experiments into primetime viewing for her 108 million followers.
Just Maiko, aka 20-year-old Michael Le, is a Vietnamese-American hip-hop dance choreographer from Florida whose charm and enthusiasm shine through every high-energy video he drops — especially when his five-year-old brother Jonathan (or the rest of his family) is involved.
Ziwe Fumudoh, 29, is a longtime comedienne whose preparation more than met the moment in 2020, when her Instagram Live interview show, in which she often grilled guests about race (i.e. “how many Black friends do you have?”) became can’t-miss weekly entertainment.
Before a co-sign from Rihanna and vacationing with Naomi , Elsa Majimbo, 19, was just an ordinary Kenyan college student studying journalism in the U.S. until her dry pandemic humor took the TikTok world by storm.
“Bubblegum trap” rapper Lil Yachty, 23, somehow managed the uneasy feat of being famous and staying accessible to his millions of followers, earning him the distinction of being one of the most relatable pop stars around.
Each one of these stars learned to adapt to their moment. They sometimes learned in public, they worked to diversify the field or used their platform to entertain us. They’re not hampered by platform or genre or artistic discipline. They offer a lesson in fluidity that we would all be better off learning.

“American Pickers” star Danielle Colby is sharing the wealth of her television success with her cam-girl daughter, Memphis.
Mom, 45, spread the love to her 233,000 followers on Instagram (now try to keep up here) by re-sharing a clip from her 21-year-old daughter’s TikTok account, in which Memphis is seen promoting her own racy Instagram page — which provides a link to her subscribers-only OnlyFans site — while lip-syncing to Greta Van Fleet’s “Light My Love.”
The 11 seconds of footage depicts the young woman mouthing the words, “Your mind is a stream of colors, extending beyond our sky,” as a filter pulses a graphic of glowing hearts from behind her head.
The caption attached to Memphis’ TikTok update reads, “To be spoken to like this….. a dream. #CurameChoreo #ShowYourGlow #fypシ #fyp #36SecondsOfLightWork.”
Colby is one of the prime “pickers” on the long-running History channel series that sees junkyard and flea market enthusiasts Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz travel the country in search of rare and antique American memorabilia.
The mother of two republished the video as an Instagram Story without comment on Tuesday — though it’s safe to say she’s bursting with pride, as Danielle’s multiple careers include performing burlesque.
Memphis, a self-proclaimed “ditzy accountant,” has also modeled vintage lingerie and eveningwear for Mom in the past.
“Memphis was born an old soul,” Danielle wrote in a May Instagram post, and shared about the bullying her daughter endured in school.
“Memphis learned to fiercely protect herself at a young age,” she continued. “She protects her space, her friends, her family and she shares what she has without a second thought. She is a warrior.”

We all love rags to riches stories, but it seems that people are almost as fond as riches to rags – or stardom to failure. This list looks at ten famous or successful child stars who went on to failure and, in at least one case, death. It is a well known fact that child stardom can often lead to disaster – perhaps due to the lack of routine that most children benefit from, but it certainly seems that the wealth that comes of it is frequently not worth it.
Lohan got her big break at 11 when she was cast as the lead in the remake of “The Parent Trap.” As she rose to stardom in both movies and music, she also became a fixture on the Hollywood party scene. The years of fast living caught up with Lohan in 2007. First, she was almost fired from the film “Georgia Rule,” with the producer releasing a memo noting, “We are well aware that your ongoing all night heavy partying is the real reason for your so-called exhaustion.” Then Lohan went through a series of car crashes, arrests and stints in rehab. On August 23, she pleaded guilty to DUI and cocaine possession and was sentenced to one day in jail and three years of probation. As of 2009, Lohan was reportedly sober and trying to work her way back to the top in Hollywood.
Spears started as a pre-teen on “The New Mickey Mouse Club” before launching into pop stardom with the 1998 release of her debut “…Baby One More Time.” In 2007, she underwent a very public breakdown in front of the army of paparazzi that follows her. In addition to losing custody of her children to ex-husband Kevin Federline, being charged with a hit-and-run, and several brief stays in rehab, Spears attacked a photographer’s car with an umbrella and shaved off her hair. On January 3, 2008, police were called to her house when Spears refused to hand her children over to Federline’s representative. A month later, she was involuntarily committed to a psychiatric ward.
The former “Partridge Family” star fell on hard times after the series ended, at one point living out of his car. He was twice arrested for cocaine possession, in 1985 and 1990. Bonaduce later admitted that he was so addicted to crack that he got serious burns on his fingers and lips because he wouldn’t wait for the pipe to cool down before smoking it. In 1991, he was arrested for assault and battery for beating up a transvestite hooker. He and his wife Gretchen chronicled their faltering marriage in the 2005 reality TV series “Breaking Bonaduce.” Episodes featured Danny falling off the wagon, abusing steroids and attempting suicide.
When he was 10, Renfro was discovered by a casting director and hired for “The Client,” based on a John Grisham novel. His only previous acting experience was in a school play sponsored by the anti-drug organization DARE, which would prove ironic given Renfro’s repeated arrests on possession charges. In 2000, he and a friend were charged with grand theft for attempting to steal a 45-foot yacht. They were caught because neither remembered to untie the boat from the dock. In 2005, Renfro was one of 15 people caught trying to buy heroin during a police sweep of Los Angeles’ skid row area. He spent 10 days in jail in 2006 after being convicted of driving under the influence. Renfro died from a heroin overdose at age 25.
At nine, Driscoll was Disney’s “golden boy” and at age 13 he won a miniature Oscar as outstanding juvenile actor. His career started unraveling when he developed severe acne upon hitting puberty. An arrest for marijuana possession at age 18 further scared off producers from hiring him. As his drug use went from pot to heroin, Driscoll had a series of run-ins with the law. After being arrested for forging a $45 check and robbing $450 from an animal clinic in1961, he was ordered to the California State Narcotics Rehabilitation Center for six months. On March 30, 1968, two boys playing in an abandoned New York tenement discovered Driscoll’s body. Death was the result of hardening of the arteries from long-term drug abuse. Since Driscoll was found with no ID, he was buried in an unmarked pauper’s grave. He was identified through fingerprints a year and a half later.
Plato began making commercials at age seven and at 14 was cast as Kimberly Drummond in the hit TV show “Diff’rent Strokes.” She later admitted that she drank and used drugs during her years on the show. In 1984, Plato was let go from “Diff’rent Strokes” after getting pregnant by her boyfriend. She had trouble finding work, appearing in B-movies and soft-core porn. In 1991, Plato was arrested for using a pellet gun to rob a Las Vegas video store. A year later, she was nabbed for forging a prescription for Valium and served 30 days in jail for violating probation. At age 35, she died of a prescription drug overdose that was ruled a suicide.
Another troubled “Diff’rent Strokes” alum, Bridges portrayed Willis Drummond on the show. His legal troubles began in 1983 when he was arrested for carrying a concealed weapon. He was arrested again in 1987 for making a bomb threat against a car dealership and in 1989 for pulling a gun on his mechanic during a dispute over a bill. Bridges faced his most serious charge in 1989 when he was tried for attempted murder after allegedly shooting a crack dealer eight times during a cocaine binge. He was acquitted thanks to high-profile defense attorney Johnnie Cochran, later part of O.J. Simpson’s famed “Dream Team.” Bridges was arrested again in 1997 for assault and battery after ramming a friend’s car following an argument, but was acquitted once more. After this latest transgression, he became a born-again Christian and began speaking at schools about the dangers of drug abuse. In a positive change of pace, in 2001 Bridges made headlines by rescuing a woman who had fallen out of her wheelchair while fishing.
He appeared in fifteen of the “Our Gang” shorts and dozens of feature films as a child. His biggest adult role, as the sidekick in the sci-fi TV show “Rocky Jones, Space Ranger,” ended after he was arrested on weapons charges in1954. While out on bail, Beckett fled to Mexico, got into a shootout with police, and spent four months in prison. Back in the States, he added to his record with arrests for passing bad checks, assault, drug charges and multiple drunk driving busts. In 1963, despite being in a wheelchair after his latest DUI crash, Beckett was charged with assault with a deadly weapon after trying to stab his neighbor. At age 39, he died from an overdose of barbiturates. Critic Leonard Maltin called his death “a particularly sad end for someone who, as a child, had shown so much easy charm and talent.”
He first topped the charts at age 11 with his brothers in the Jackson 5. As an adult, he emerged as one of pop music’s biggest superstars ever. He also began laying the foundation for his “Wacko Jacko” reputation, although his rumored 80s eccentricities – hanging out with a chimp; trying to buy the Elephant Man’s bones; sleeping in an oxygen chamber – seemed harmless. Then in 1993, the father of a 13-year-old guest at Jackson’s Neverland Ranch accused the singer of sexually molesting the boy. The allegations were supported by Jackson’s sister LaToya, who said, “Forget about
