Rachel Zegler began her Hollywood journey at 17 when the legendary director Steven Spielberg chose her for the leading role in the "West Side Story" remake alongside Ansel Elgort and Mike Faist. Since then, her career has gained momentum—she has appeared in "Shazam! Fury of the Gods," "The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes," and voiced a character in "Spellbound."
Her latest film project is Disney's "Snow White," an adaptation of one of the most famous Grimm Brothers' fairy tales from the early 19th century. Unfortunately, the film has already been subjected to racist and misogynistic attacks online. It may be hard to believe, but some are outraged that Zegler's skin isn't "white enough."
Rachel Zegler is having her moment now
The actress, now 23 years old, graces the latest "Variety" magazine cover. At the event celebrating this, she appeared in a striking outfit that subtly accentuated her figure with a black bra and high-waisted briefs, garnering significant attention on the red carpet. The actress's hair was styled naturally, revealing her delicate facial features and subtle makeup highlighted her natural beauty. She chose elegant black heels and silver jewelry, including rings and earrings, to complete the look.
