EXCLUSIVE! Dara Reneé is a Certified Girls' Girl—and that's just one of the many reasons why she's the perf cover celeb for our October/November 2024 issue. Despite playing the villain on screen (all the fortunate souls who streamed Descendants: The Rise of Red will recognize her as teen sea witch Uliana), Dara is 100p good energy. With original music debuting by the end of the year and a national tour with her besties starting next summer, our fave Baltimore babe is booked, busy and just the kind of human in whose glow we love to bask.
