Tyla, Finn Wolfhard, Sam Nivola and More Toast to the ‘Power of the Youth' at Variety's Young Hollywood Party

It was all glitter and grooves on Thursday night as the entertainment industry's rising stars took center stage at Variety's Power of Young Hollywood party, presented by Sandisk. The Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills morphed into a buzzing summer celebration, where flashing lights, flowing conversation, and fresh talent collided under the stars. The class of 2025 brought serious star power, with global sensation Tyla, 'Stranger Things' favorite Finn Wolfhard, and 'The White Lotus' standout Sam Nivola leading the charge. But this year's Impact Report cast an even wider spotlight, recognizing a dynamic range of up-and-comers — from 'Anora' star Mark Eydelshteyn to rapper 2Hollis, gymnastics icon Simone Biles and beyond. More from Variety Connie Britton, Sam Nivola Mystery Comedy 'Phony' Ordered to Series at Hulu Sam Nivola Breaks Out: 'The White Lotus' Favorite on Getting 'Lost' in Character, Why Hollywood Must 'Create New Stars' and Getting 'Cut Out' of 'Maestro' Variety Music Innovator of the Year PinkPantheress on Her Songs and Performing at Glastonbury: 'I Didn't Know If I Was Gonna Be Able to Get Over My Fear' Digital creators, TikTok trendsetters and Hollywood's brightest mingled on the lawn, sipping, snapping selfies and soaking up the scene. 'The Pitt' stars Supriya Ganesh and Shabana Azeez, 'Wicked's' Marissa Bode, 'Monsters: The Lyle & Erik Menendez Story' actor Nicholas Alexander Chavez, and internet faves Brittany Broski and Reece Feldman brought the energy. Musicians Ivan Cornejo, Sombr, and Remy Bond helped set the vibe as the night turned into a dance-fueled celebration of what's next in music, film and pop culture. Tyla accepted her award thanking her team — most especially her glam squad, 'for getting me snatched on that cover' — for the honor. She had just finished teasing her next album on the red carpet, and caught up with her guests of honor, her father and brother. 'When I was younger, I did not know what I was doing, and I'm still figuring it out, but I had a lot of passion and a lot of belief in myself,' she said on stage. 'I thank my team for believing in me before there was proof that it was gonna work.' With a smile on her face and her award in hand, Tyla closed her speech with an affirmation: 'Power to the youth, power to the young creatives. We killing it, and we're gonna keep on killing it. We the future!' Multi-platform recording artist and songwriter PinkPantheress kicked off the program earlier in the evening with her acceptance of the Variety Music Innovator of the Year presented by Sandisk award. Comedian and host Alec Flynn introduced the award-winning artist by making reference to the viral trend attached to her single 'Illegal' — a standout song on her second mixtape 'Fancy That.' She also teased a collaboration with Jack Harlow, who recently appeared in one of her TikTok videos: 'Give me a date and I'll make sure it comes out on that date,' the singer told Variety's Angelique Jackson on the red carpet. Wolfhard joked that he 'thought this was a roast' when he appeared on stage to accept his recognition, but ended up maneuvering the speech with ease and gratitude for his expansive career. The 22-year-old actor is the third 'Stranger Things' star to appear on a Young Hollywood cover, behind Sadie Sink and Noah Schnapp. Nivola, meanwhile, utilized his time on stage to echo the same sentiments in his cover story: 'Just fucking make movies whenever you can.' 'I'm absolutely not the first person to say this, but we all have 4K cameras in our pockets and you can get a boom mic for whatever, 50 bucks. The people who came before us and innovated and revolutionized did not have access to even a quarter of the stuff that we have access to… I really just want to say, I hope that we can all kind of use those tools and and continue to make shit — preferably longer than 25 seconds.'Best of Variety New Movies Out Now in Theaters: What to See This Week What's Coming to Disney+ in August 2025 What's Coming to Netflix in August 2025

Stranger Things' Star Shares Wild Theory About the Spinoff

Stranger Things' Star Shares Wild Theory About the Spinoff originally appeared on Parade. Even though Stranger Things is coming to an end with the series finale set to premiere on New Year's Eve, Finn Wolfhard still has some ideas regarding what the spinoff series will be about. 'Like David Lynch's Twin Peaks. Sort of an anthology and different tones but similar universe or same universe,' Wolfhard, 22, said in a new interview with Variety published on Tuesday, August 5. 'I think set in different places and all tied together through this mythology of the Upside Down. Don't even talk about Hawkins. Don't have any mention of our characters.' However, before fans get too excited, the Ghostbusters: Afterlife star clarified that no official announcements about a spinoff had been made just yet. '[Stranger Things creators Matt and Ross Duffer] were toying around with ideas in case Netflix wanted them. I'm sure they do, and I'm sure it will happen, but there's nothing official,' he explained. 'I think the coolest way, the way that I would do it, there has to be labs everywhere. If there was one in Hawkins, there's one in Russia. Where else could they be?' RELATED: In 2023, Wolfhard revealed that he had previously been a little too close for comfort in his guess about what the Duffers had planned for a spinoff. 'I was like, 'But if you guys are actually going to do a spin-off, it should be this.' And then I said it and the Duffers looked at each other and looked at me and they were like, 'Could we talk to you for a second?'' he said during an appearance on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon. 'And then they pulled me off and they were like, 'That is the idea. Who told you?' and I was like, 'No one,' and they were like 'What do you mean? You just came up with it?' and I was like, 'Well, no, I just thought that that would be a cool way to expand.' It was really funny and they were like 'Okay, well… don't tell anyone.'' Granted, the Duffers could have easily changed their mind since then, but dedicated Stranger Things fans might want to brush up on their Twin Peaks lore just in case. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 Stranger Things' Star Shares Wild Theory About the Spinoff first appeared on Parade on Aug 6, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Aug 6, 2025, where it first appeared.
