Billie Eilish

Precocious and professional, Eilish is still a normal (and likeable) teenager: she scrolls through Instagram, eats the lunch her mum put aside for her and somehow manages to find a small lizard that’s slipped into the studio. She gently carries it around until she’s needed in hair and make-up, and then leaves it in the care of photographer Max Doyle (who takes it outside just as carefully).

Elizabeth Debicki

As for the now ubiquitous Blanchett comparisons, Debicki is flattered—“It will never be anything but a compliment”—and also fairly flummoxed. “I don’t wake up in the morning and feel tall, or young, or like the new Cate Blanchett,” she says. “I find it boring, to be honest, I would just like to have a conversation.” Via email from the UK, Blanchett herself is effusive with praise for her fellow actor, and ends the debate in five words: “There is no-one like her.” She goes on to say that “performing alongside Elizabeth in The Maids was wild and irreverent. She has an incredible generosity of spirit and an utterly unique combination of goofiness and self-possession. I love her to pieces and have infinite respect for her as an artist.”

Bella Heathcote

Heathcote will turn 30 in May — a milestone she says is a relief to reach: “I mean, the early twenties are horrendous — I wish more people had told me that.” Moving to LA at 22 and missing “that safety net of family and friends you’ve grown up with” was both challenging and liberating. “It forces you to go out and meet new people, which I never would have because it doesn’t come easily.”
