Emira D’Spain xoxoemira | And the crown for first full-time trans cast member on bravotv goes to #EmiraDSpain. The star of the reality juggernaut’s ‘Next Gen NYC’—in which she elegantly navigates her 20s alongside the children of some of the network’s most legendary (and meme-able) superstars: Ariana Biermann, Riley Burruss, Gia Giudice, and Brooks Marks—D’Spain is using her platform to spotlight LGBTQ+ rights, one sassily dramatic scene after another. A former Beauty Director for Paper magazine, she has amassed quite the following (400,000 on Instagram; 1.5 million on TikTok) for her aspirational GRWM videos. It’s no wonder she became the first-ever Black trans model to appear in a Victoria’s Secret campaign back in 2022. Her advice to those coming into their own? “Be yourself. Don’t change at all. You’re perfect as you are.”

Emira D’Spain xoxoemira | First splurge purchase? 
Probably this Van Cleef necklace. I bought it after one of my first big campaigns and have never taken it off ever since.

What pop culture moment lives rent-free in your head?
Paris Hilton backing out of her driveway in her blue Bentley as “Sexy Back” is playing, and then the paparazzi follow her in the car. It’s the most iconic video ever.

What’s the most underrated movie, TV show, song, or album of all time?
We moved on from the 90210 reboot way too fast as a society. That needs more love.
