Top 20 Female Teen Stars...

...To Watch Out For.

There seems to be a constant obsession over the up-and-coming young stars, and I'm no exception. While not all of these are up-and-coming, in fact many have already established themselves as talented, successful young girls, they all possess a certain quality which makes them interesting to the public. The heading is 'Top 20 Female Teen Stars To Watch Out For' and that's why some of the most famous on this list (Chanel, Miley, Taylor) are not as high as you might want them to be. You don't need to watch out for them, you already know them. I've included people I think have a certain something, whether it be drive, talent, beauty or charisma - this list is not entirely based on fame, & that is the reason you won't see certain famous disney kids I have no interest in.

20. Lucie Jones



Sweet 19-year-old Lucie came to fame on this year's X Factor, a show I was sneakily drawn into by the odd & entertaining lure of Jedward, and although she was voted off halfway through the live shows, her amazing voice, pretty face, headline-grabbing style & sweet personality might just win her a singing career.

19. Megan Prescott



Famous for her portrayal of 'popular' but slightly psychopathic Katie on E4's hit teen drama Skins, 18-year-old Megan seems quiet and ever-so-slightly shy in real life. While she may not be getting as much media attention as her twin sister Kathryn, Megan plays the character of Katie to perfection, and I have a feeling she will be making even more of an impact in the upcoming fourth series.

18. Willa Holland



18-year-old Willa doesn't grab the headlines every second of the day, but she's showed she can act on big shows such as The OC and Gossip Girl, and films including (but by no means limited to) Genova and the up coming Straw Dogs. It may be just the parts she plays, but Willa seems to have a certain powerful presence on screen which means you can't help but watch her. Oh, and if you havn't noticed, she's amazingly gorgeous.

17. Lisa Backwell



You can't help but feel both intrigued and amused whilst watching kooky Pandora Moon dance around at the Love Ball on the aforementioned Skins, and she's such an adorable character thanks to 19-year-old Lisa. Upon watching interviews with Lisa, you'll find that she's just as adorable in real life, with a sense of humour that'll have you wondering why she's not in comedy.

16. Pixie Geldof



But what does she actually do? I hear you ask...Well, the notorious 19-year-old may only be famous due to the simple fact that she's Bob Geldof's daughter, but she possesses an effortless cool and original fashion sense that have the fashion pack running after her in their hundreds.

15. Georgia Groome



17-year-old Georgia came onto the scene as typical teenage girl Georgia Nicolson in chick-flick Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging, and is now viewed by almost everyone as as fresh and innocent as her character, but there is no denying that she has talent, and this is just as evident in more recent films The Disappeared and Leaving Eva. Although I doubt Georgia will ever become a tabloid regular (and some people seem to think that the measure of success these days) I think she has a very successful acting career ahead of her.

14. Lily Loveless



Loved by Skins fans everywhere as one half of favourite couple Naomily, 19-year-old Lily made us believe in the beautiful, sexually confused, outspoken and witty Naomi. Outside of Skins, Lily has made an impact with her stunning looks, spot-on dress sense and lovely personality. Not to mention that with a name like hers, how can fame not be on the cards?

13. Georgia Jagger



Far from your typical it-girl, 17-year-old Georgia - Mick Jagger's daughter - has never actively seeked media attention and you won't see her in the gossip rags. Featuring in top fashion magazines such as Vogue, she is making her way in the fashion world as a very distinguised and respected young model - with her full lips, gap-toothed smile and mane of golden hair, she's easy to pick out in a crowd.

12. Chanel Iman



At the young age of 19, Chanel is already one of the most established supermodels in the world. That's pretty impressive!

11. Taylor Momsen



16-year-old Taylor is famous everywhere due to her portrayal of Jenny 'Little J' Humphrey on America's hit teen drama Gossip Girl. Breaking out of the teen mold, Taylor's bold, rocky style singled her out of the crowd and gave her a new attitude which led to people dubbing her 'Courtney-Love-esque'. I predict Taylor will become extremely famous, and not only that, but successful too, due to her role on Gossip Girl and modelling contract with IMG models.

10. Cory Kennedy



You might say that 19-year-old Cory is just an it-girl with no reason for being famous and no right to be on this list, but I would disagree with you. Cory is not a royal heir or the daughter of a famous couple. Neither is she famous because of a kiss-and-tell or because she stumbled out of a well-known nightclub once. She's famous because she put all her effort into making a name for herself over the internet and because, let's face it, there is just something about her - and that takes drive. And that's why she's on this list. Not to mention she has amazing style that I've never seen on anyone else, nor am I sure anyone else could pull off.

9. Lauren Socha



I've completely fallen in love with the loud, chavvy, ever-so-slightly aggressive but lovely Kelly on E4's new drama Misfits, and I can't stress enough how amazing 19-year-old Lauren's acting is. She has raw talent, and I'm sure she has a successful career ahead of her.

8. Emma Roberts



Charming and beautiful 18-year-old Emma steals the scene in every film she stars in, and is the reason I've watched feel-good chick-flick Wild Child more times than I can remember. She has a list of ahcievements behind her, starring in Aquamarine, Nancy Drew, tv show Unfabulous, the addictive Wild Child, Hotel For Dogs and more, and has six new films coming out - dramas Twelve, Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac, It's Kind of a Funny Story and What's Wrong With Virginia, romcom Valentine's Day and thriller 4.3.2.1. There's no stopping Emma Roberts.

7. Dakota Fanning



At just 15, Dakota is the youngest on this list, but also one of the most talented. Watch her in any one of her films - from War Of The Worlds to the more recent New Moon - and you'll see that she has talent way beyond her years.

6. Pixie Lott



18-year-old Pixie came out of nowhere in 2009 and she's now one of the biggest popstars around - with two number ones, a unique & sexy image and a wide fanbase, I can only see the gorgeous Pixie going from strength to strength in the new year.

5. Miley Cyrus



I suppose 17-year-old Miley had to come in the top 5, didn't she? I have nothing against her and actually love dancing around to a bit of Party In The USA, but she's not one of my favourite teen stars and I would have preferred others higher in the list. But, you've got to hand it to her - she's America's reigning teen queen and man, does she know how to sell a record...As well as that, I recently saw her interviewed on Alan Carr's Chatty Man and have to admit that, if a little annoying, she seemed pretty funny.

4. Kathryn Prescott



Ah, Kathryn, the girl everyone (who knows who she is, of course) has fallen in love with. Due to the 18-year-old's performance as the insanely lovable Emily on Skins, Kat has become the girl everyone wants to be friends with. As well as the talent she clearly shows whilst acting, Kat is very, very beautiful with her glistening eyes, bewitching smile and bright red hair, and possesses a quiet confidence, bubbly personality and sexily husky voice. See, listen to the way I'm talking - I've fallen in love with her, and Emily isn't even my favourite character!

3. Kristen Stewart



While she may not have as devoted fans as her co-stars Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, the Twilight movies wouldn't be the same without 19-year-old Kristen. Her portrayal of Bella is so fresh and real, and in real life she has a kind of beautiful awkwardness which I think makes her more interesting, and maybe even draws people to her in a weird way. She seems to stray from conformity which makes her even more individual. And whether she likes it or not, she's currently one of the biggest stars around.

2. Kaya Scodelario


Quite possibly the most strikingly beautiful girl I have ever seen, 17-year-old Kaya never fails to fascinate me. On screen she is amazingly talented, having some kind of hold over the viewer. She draws us all in as the mysterious and promiscuous Effy on Skins, and is by far the most notable member of all the Skins cast (bar Dev Patel). As well as Skins, Kaya has starred in sci-fi film Moon, and in up-and-coming titles Shank and Clash Of The Titans. On top of all that, she's signed a modelling contract with Models 1 and is constantly appearing in the pages of glossy fashion mags. She has gained the most recognition out of the Skins cast, and seeing the way she can convey so much even when never speaking at all, it's not hard to see why.

1. Emma Watson



Who could be number 1 but the lovely Emma Watson? At 19 years old, Emma has been in the public eye as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter series for nine years, and has grown up with us. It wasn't hard for me to pick a number 1 - Emma came to mind straight away. She's talented, clever, elegant, stylish, and has transformed into a beautiful young woman before our very eyes, and it's not unrealistic of me to say, quite simply, that everybody loves her.
