She appeared in Straight Outta Compton and played Aaliyah in the television biopic about the pop star, and 2016 will see Shipp channel one of her acting idols, Halle Berry, as she plays Storm in the upcoming X-Men: Apocalypse. Undoubtedly she’ll leave the action and adventure to the screen but sport equally thrilling looks while promoting the film.

Francis works with George Reid to form AlunaGeorge, and music fans couldn’t get enough of the duo’s debut, Body Music. 2016 will bring a new, entirely different album. Expect lots of performances to promote it—and thus plenty of time for Francis to show off her sartorial savvy.

One of Scream Queens’s breakout stars, the actress also appears in Star Wars: The Force Awakens—her mom is Carrie Fisher aka Princess Leia. We can’t wait to see her bring some of her Chanel #3 look and attitude to outer space and the red carpet.
