The 19-year-old Indian-American and lead of the hit Netflix series Never Have I Ever, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan appears on her first Elle Canada magazine cover wearing a stunning white dress.

As one of Hollywood's rising young actors, Maitreyi's evolving style and coming-of-age role in the web series make her the perfect choice for the opportunity, after all, Elle aims to inspire women to explore themselves and their style.

Just this month Elle hosted American model and actress Barbie Ferreira for the summer issue and fellow Euphoria star Zendaya on the April cover. Other inspiring ladies and gents who have been photographed for the front page include Lizzo, Lucy Liu, and Rege-Jean Page. 

For her debut cover at Elle, Ramakrishnan is styled in a beautiful white dress from Ferragamo's Spring/Summer 2023 collection, and jewels from Tiffany & Co, Simuero and Sasika Diez.

In the interview for the cover story, Maitreyi reveals how much the new found stardom has been intense. "At first, I put pressure on myself to represent everyone, and then I realized that I’m one girl, I’m one story—I’m only 19 years’ worth of a story! How can I represent everyone? That was a big breakthrough moment for me,” Ramakrishnan says.

“One of the funniest responses I got was a fan saying that every time they watch the show, they think Devi is going to leave the screen—but she’s in almost every scene,” she says. “We’re used to Asian or South Asian minority-sidekick characters coming in for a quirky moment and then leaving.”

In the upcoming months, her journey as a young Indian-American getting her foothold in Hollywood, continues. She will be seen in her first big-screen role playing Lizzie Bennet in Netflix's modern-day adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. We can't wait to see what the future has in store for this rising star.

After facing skin problems of their own for many years the founders discovered that most skincare companies do not conduct formal clinical testing. And, the few who do are not required to test on all skin tones and types. Lion Pose aims to bridge this gap by testing their products on a wider and more diverse group of men and women. When tested on an independent panel of 30 participants aged 25-45, with Fitzpatrick skin tone 2-6, the label's newly launched Unspotted 4x delivered positive results,with 94% noticing a reduction in their dark spot size. The skincare brand created this miracle formulat

She also knows that the idea of pe
