15. Zendaya, 19

Some performers only need one name for everyone to know what’s up. That’s the case with 19-year-old actress, singer, dancer, and model, Zendaya. She is very well-known for her roles in Disney hit shows Shake It Up (2010-2013) and K.C. Undercover (2015-present), where she plays “Rocky Blue” and “K.C. Cooper” respectively. While she has received award nominations since 2011, Zendaya’s first win came in 2015 when she received her first Teen Choice Award (Candie’s Style Icon). She’s also earned a Kids’ Choice Award for Favorite TV Actress – Kids TV Show for K.C. Undercover. This talented teen is already a star to watch, and has also seen success in her singing and modeling careers. Watch out for her in the upcoming 2017 Spider-Man film.
