Rachel Zegler is on the lookout for her own Hollywood sisterhood! The 'Snow White' star has become fast friends with some of the most fan-favorite faces in the entertainment business, including Ariana Grande, who recently enjoyed incredible success in 'Wicked.' However, the proud Latina says sisterhood is still difficult to find in the entertainment business.
In a recent interview for her March 2025 Allure cover story, the actress shared her thoughts on finding strong female friendships in the industry.
Despite the competitive nature of Hollywood, Rachel believes women shouldn’t see each other as rivals. While “in search of female friendship” in the industry, she said that “there is room for all of us no matter what anybody else will have you think.”

“All I’m ever really looking for in this business is a sister, and they’re not always easy to find,” she openly admitted during her interview. “We’re often told that other women have to be your competition, and I don’t subscribe to that.”

Rachel's friendship with Ariana Grande:
Ariana Grande recently reached out to offer her support ahead of the release of the live-action. “She reached out to me—kind of out of the blue—and just said, ‘If you need anything, I’m here,’” Rachel shared with Allure.
