10 Ferocious and Charming Celebs We're Celebrating for Leo Season

Symbolized by a lion, and known for their roaring personalities and natural charisma, Leos are born for the spotlight. They're lit up from the inside-out, glowing with a magnetic charm and talent so bright that it lights up a room. The spotlight isn't handed to them as they work hard to earn it, but it feels like everything falls into place when they have everyone's eyes on them. Leos use their power for good, though, making the world a more inclusive, colorful place –whether it be through body-positivity, queer advocacy, mental health awareness, or pop songs that improve millions of lives each day.

Queer celebrities like Demi Lovato, Cara Delevigne, Dan Levy, and Justice Smith have lit up the stage, the screen, and the world as they blazed into our lives. They're naturally talented and very dramatic, but they're also loyal, generous, and warm. These are 11 of our favorite fiery, energetic, confident, passionate Leo celebs.

Cara Delevingne

The bright, fiery natural Leo talent within Cara Delevigne seems to pour out of her! Whether she's presenting a queer travel show, hosting a live fashion event for the Paris Olympics, modeling for iconic international brands, or acting in fantasy TV shows and stage productions, Delevigne is on!

She loves her friends, and from the years-long memes that celebs don't even need to come out, they can simply be accepted as queer for being photographed with her, we know she has the fun-loving, welcoming, sparkling spirit you'd expect from a Leo. She seems to have non-stop energy and, in classic Leo style, is able to harness even more to enrich her life when she's fallen in love with someone who can match her magic.

Justice Smith

Leos are born to perform, naturally shining when they're the center of attention, turning heads wherever they go, which is certainly true of Justice Smith. But Leos also adore their friends and family, always making sure that their people get their chance to shine, too. The "I Saw the TV Glow" and "Genera+ions" actor, who has portrayed a wide range of unforgettable characters, many of them queer, brings his multifaceted brilliance to all of them. Smith has been outspoken about the inequality of the media landscape, and his experiences as an out Black actor in an industry where there is limited representation. We love that he has harnessed that Leo energy to fight for more, and better, representation.

Madonna

A Leo to her core, Madonna has blazed her own path through decades of rebellious, magnetic performances and a career that's incomparable in its impact. Madonna has blazed her way into our lives like fire incarnate, and continues to make her mark on the world in ionic moves like continuously dating hot younger men, bringing queer artists and legends on stage with her when she tours, serving looks in fierce fits, and championing a more inclusive world with everything she does.

Kerri Colby

Leos are natural born leaders, and embrace their destiny to shine as bright as the sun. They're hot, powerful, and full of energy. They bring the sunshine wherever they go, radiating generosity and glamor. Kerri Colby is all this and more. She's the kind of gorgeous (inside and out!) that stops you in your tracks. It's often said that Leos (like the lion that symbolizes their starsign) care deeply about their mane – wanting their hair to shine as lusciously as their talents do. It's a trait that is easy to believe when you look at Colby, whose hair is long, constantly changing colors and styles, and always slaying. Her Leo spirit also shines in the ways she uses her spotlight to inspire and encourage her sisters, and to fiercely protect the younger dolls who look up to her.

Lily Gladstone

A Leo can be found wherever it would be most impactful to use their voice to empower others. This naturally big-hearted personality and inspiring perspective is very indicative of Lily Gladstone's career. They've chosen their projects carefully, and stood behind the roles that they feel would make the most powerful difference to our culture. Gladstone is serious about supporting fellow actors and films that represent the marginalized, standing up for those who need their support, and speaking loudly and proudly about issues of injustice. These are classic Leo traits, and ones we're proud to see be lifted to a platform with each new level of success that Gladstone so deservedly reaches. Leos excel where their natural talents are, and with Gladstone's warm, distinct on-screen presence, and their admirable focus on justice in the work they choose, that they're a Leo is unmistakable.

Rina Sawayama

Sharing a birthday with Madonna, Rina Sawayama is a fiery spark of a woman, someone whose music is fierce and brilliant as her heart. With her magnetic personality, Sawayama radiates the specific Leo energy that feels like standing by a burning flame –warm, mesmerizing, impossible to ignore; her life representing Leo qualities like the burning desire to raise their voice and tell their truth. Rina Sawayama's whole vibe is very Leo; she was born to blaze a path and spark confidence in everyone encounters. She's making her mark on the world through statements that you can't look away from, empowering her audience and those who can connect with her lived experience.

Dan Levy

The "Schitt's Creek" actor, award-winning showrunner, and "Good Grief" director has shown us his heart and his good-natured, confident spirit, reminding us to be more loving and patient with ourselves and our friends. With talent that has brought us to laughter and to tears, Dan Levy has made the world a brighter place by allowing his Leo spirit and vision for the future to come to life. Leos are often dramatic, flamboyant, and fun to be around. They're great leaders who know how to entertain us, and how to pull at our heartstrings –and they use these skills with a strong sense of justice and kindness, knowing when we need a balance of the two.

Demi Lovato

Leos are experts at harnessing positive vibes and taking bold action to make their life and the world a more welcoming, loving, magnificent place. Like Demi Lovato, Leos are known for transforming their everyday lives into something that can enrich their fans with a new sense of power and hope. Leos are known to be the champions of body-positivity and inclusive awareness campaigns, both of which Lovato could be (and has been) the face of. Lovato has displayed a landscape-shifting vulnerability and honesty about their physical and mental health as they grew up in the spotlight, opening the conversation so that their fans can have a safer, kinder world. Also typical of Leos is the added sparkle in Lovato's eyes when they fall in love.

Josie Totah

Independent, determined, and mesmerizingly talented, you can depend on a Leo to remind you of the importance of feeling fired up and making sure you're ready to take on the world. They're also playful and passionate about celebrating the successes along the way, so you'll always be having a blast. Josie Totah is bold, brave, badass, and a brilliant actress –stealing the show wherever she shows up, whether in her iconic role as Lexi, who redefined mean girl energy in the "Saved By the Bell" reboot, or as the bubbly, determined romantic Mabel on "The Buccaneers." Josie Totah made headlines when she introduced herself to us; she makes every show she's in so much better by allowing herself to shine, and she's just getting started!

Shawn Mendes

Leos are born for the spotlight, but they work hard to earn it. They'll relentlessly chase their dreams, even if their goals seem beyond impossible to everyone around them. There's just a spark in the eyes of a Leo as they work towards their big moments –like oh, maybe a guy who goes from beloved Vine star to swoonworthy songwriter to the pop prince we see in the tabloids and on stage with his musical heroes. Shawn Mendes' self-assured confidence, natural warmth, and passion for music makes it clear that his Leo stars helped shine the path to his success.
