It premieres today on Hulu!

If there's anyone on this planet cuter than Ruby Jay, we definitely have not found her. The rosy-cheeked star gets even *more* adorabe on her new show, Holly Hobbie, where she plays the relatable, kind and compassionate title character. 

The show follows Holly, her bestie, Amy, and her family through the ups and downs of growing up and all kinds of interesting sitches in her small town of Collinsville. We sat down with Ruby herself to chat about this feel-good show, fashion and the crazy thing she and Holly have in common with their BFFs. Read on for more...

Girls' Life: Holly is *such* an amazing character. What's your favorite thing about playing her?
Ruby Jay: One of my favorite things about Holly is how relatable she is which makes my job easier, because I can take experiences from real life and use them when I am portraying Holly’s emotions.

GL: Holly is very strong and determined, too! She seems like a great role model.
RJ: Yes! I hope Holly can encourage young girls to also be strong and independent in a respectful manner while being true to themselves.

GL: In the premiere episode, Holly sets out to save her grandmother's bakery, The Calico. Do you have a favorite hang out that’s super special to you, just like The Calico is special to Holly?
RJ: Not exactly, but I always end up either going to my best friend’s house, her uncle's house, or we all hang out at my house. The nights usually end in a super fun game night!

GL: That sounds so fun. So, Holly has such a cute wardrobe. Are there any pieces you wear on the show that you’d love to snag and wear in real life?
RJ: Umm, yes! Legit all of her outfits are so cute and stylish! The jeans she wears during this paint fight scene are so adorable, and the blue romper she wears is to die for.

GL: Those both sound super trendy. She has great accessories, too. Holly and Amy even wear PB&J BFF necklaces. Do you and your friends do or wear anything similar to show you love each other?
RJ: Yes, actually! My best friend Alyssa and I have necklaces that we got each other. They don’t match each other, but they do complement our interests and passions. Mine is a simple necklace with three stars on it, and hers is a gold heart with a rose inside. I wear it everywhere. In fact, if I am told I can’t wear it around my neck, it is probably around my ankle or in my pocket! Whenever I am feeling a little down, all I have to do is touch the necklace and it automatically makes me feel better, just like Holly does with the necklace from Amy. Love you, Alyssa! ❤️

Holly Hobbie premieres today on Hulu.
