If the 2026 awards season has a handful of breakout stars, Odessa A’zion is certainly one of them. Thanks to her commanding turn as Rachel Mizler in Josh Safdie’s Marty Supreme opposite Timothée Chalamet, the actor has emerged as one of the buzziest actors of the moment.
“I can’t even begin to explain how much gratitude I have for Josh and Ronnie [Bronstein] for making a world this twisted and beautiful, and trusting me to be Rachel,” A’zion tells Vogue after Sunday’s Golden Globes, where Marty Supreme was up for a spate of awards (winning one, for Chalamet’s raucous lead performance). “The biggest challenge is always going from zero to 100, and learning how to shut everything else out when you hear action—even if it’s uncomfortable, embarrassing, or you feel shy.”
Working with an actor like Chalamet, who always commits fully to a scene, helped her find her footing. “Having someone as amazing as him to bounce off was such a gift—to just feel the scene and let it flow,” A’zion says. “That’s exactly what I love to do: prepare as much as you need to do at home, so that when you’re there on the day, you can just dive in and be ready for anything.”
Before Sunday’s Globes kicked off—one of her first major outings in the awards circuit—A’zion hit the step and repeat in a vintage feathered off-the-shoulder top from Dolce & Gabbana. (Strikingly, she styled herself for the event, even doing her own hair and makeup.) “I love a feather top always,” A’zion says of her Globes look. “Sometimes it’s hard to find the right one, and I feel like this one did what it needed to do for me. I was definitely scared of a nip-slip, though.”
Punctuating her classic evening ensemble were shimmering pieces from Pandora. The star wore a custom Talisman Ad Astra necklace from the brand, as well as a pair of Pandora’s Talisman Ad Astra drop earrings and various rings made from 14-karat white gold and lab-grown diamonds. “I love an ethical piece of jewelry. Ethical and beautiful? Sign me up. And I do love sparkles,” she says of her accessories. “I always love a chunky ring over a glove.”
While the actor will continue celebrating all things Marty Supreme for the rest of awards season, she has another major iron in the fire, too: playing the chaotic influencer Tallulah in Rachel Sennott’s HBO series I Love LA, which was just picked up for a second season. “I was really scared to play a character like Tallulah, who I felt so different from, but I’m so grateful for her for so many reasons,” A’zion says. “If it wasn’t for her, I’d still be the most awkward photo subject on planet Earth. She helped me loosen up and get more comfortable doing stuff like that—and I’ve had to do it a lot recently, so thank you to Lulu.”
Given A’zion is a born-and-bred Angeleno, Vogue could not resist asking what the sign of a true LA native is. Her succinct answer? It all comes down to the food, of course. “True Angelenos know where the best taco trucks are at, period,” she says. “And they get their driver’s license as soon as they can. Those are the two first things that come to mind.”
But even an LA kid gets star-struck from time to time. A’zion’s favorite moments from the Globes involved spontaneous run-ins with performers she looks up to. “I got to meet people who I’ve admired for so long—and was so shocked, but truly just so warmed, when some of them told me how much they loved Marty Supreme,” she says. “It’s crazy every single time, and it really, really warms my heart. I feel insanely honored and special to be able to be a part of any of it.”
Below, a candid closer look at how A’zion got ready for the 2026 Golden Globes.
Love my [driver] Lamont!!!
It’s true: My fish flops are my favorite. And I’m in my grandpa’s PJs, so I’m extra cozy and safe.

Half-asleep makeup. . . pray for me.
I thought my eyelash was a tiny caterpillar on the tray.
Checking. Checking. Check, one, two.
Hiding my anxiety. Thank you Tallulah [my character on I Love L.A.], you taught me well.
