Move over, Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez! Someone’s about to step into your vacated Disney spots. It’s a budding teen gem, Maia Mitchell! The young actress has snagged herself the lead role for a new Disney film, Teen Beach Movie, and has a couple more movies lined up this year.

By the looks of it, she is also set to become another young fashionista.

The starlet showed up at the Australian premiere of ‘Teen Beach Movie’ in an enviable floral dress (we want it for ourselves!). We are so glad someone’s still dressing her age these days. The dress suited Maia’s body shape and skin color and ensured she didn’t look ten years older.

Maia Mitchell also wore killer heels that perfectly matched her garden dress! With its slight ’60s bump, the effortless hair capped the look off. Not bad for a movie premiere. Not bad at all.

Maia Mitchell, of English and Hungarian descent, was born on August 18, 1993, in Lismore, New South Wales, Australia. She grew up in a musical household, learning guitar from a young age, inspired by her mother, Jill, who works in education.

Her father, Alex, is a taxi driver, and she has a younger brother named Charlie. Maia is often mistaken for actress Bailee Madison.
