Dear Out readers, please say hello to Out's latest digital cover star, Auliʻi Cravalho!
The 24 year-old Hawaiian actress and Out100 honoree is currently starring in the box office smash hit Moana 2 in theaters now, as well as Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club on Broadway in the iconic role of Sally Bowles, and we talked to her about all of it, as well as her holiday traditions, making Janis in Mean Girls a certified queer icon, and how she's taking care of herself after the election.
"The fact that the ripple effect of Moana has been so important as a young role model for kids and teens alike, I used to think of it as more of a burden on my shoulders that I needed to represent my culture everywhere that I went," she says. "But I realized that by simply being here, by being alive, by continuing to take on roles that challenge me, by continuing to date women, by being authentically myself, that that alone inspires people to do the same, which as a 24-year-old is crazy, by the way, but it's also like what a blessing, what a strange time to be alive."
She also talks about what she wants for her future, including playing some villains.
"So next, I'm really looking forward to getting into action. I'm really looking forward to playing a villain," she says. "I cannot wait to be in a film all sweet and ingenue and then sike, I got you, and I turn out to be the villain. I just want to do things that are different and that showcase all these different facets of myself."

Comment of the Week
Our Comment of the Week goes out to @theothervictorhugo on Instagram who commented with his own Pink Pony Club on our call for submissions about the queer place or moment that helped you feel like you belong.
"Pulse in Orlando. We spent so much time there dancing and seeing the best drag shows ever. It still hurts to know so many beautiful souls were taken," he said.
So, we want to hear about YOUR “Pink Pony Club” moment! Was it a late night at a queer bar? A vibrant Pride celebration? Or maybe a song that made you feel like you finally belonged? Reply to this email or send us an email at social@out.com—we might feature you in an upcoming piece! ✨Let’s celebrate the moments and places that make us feel at home.
