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

Andrea Marks Joseph READ TIME: 11 MIN.

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.
