Dylan Mulvaney Wants To Reinvent What It Means To Be A Celebrity

The actress and LGBTQ+ activist gained viral fame with her Days of Girlhood TikTok series, which documented her gender transition and drew more than 1 billion views. “Whether somebody’s trans or not, I just hope they can watch my videos and feel inspired to unlock a new part of them- selves,” she says. Mulvaney, who was named a 2023 Forbes Top Creator and raked in an estimated $2 million in earnings last year, found herself at the center of an unexpected political crossfire after Bud Light paid her to post a video featuring a custom beer with her face on the can, sparking a widespread boycott of the brand. Nevertheless, she has landed partnerships with companies like Nike and MAC and has urged brands to go beyond “just inclusive marketing” to stand up for what’s right. Last year, she sat down with President Joe Biden to discuss trans rights; this year, she won Breakout Creator of the Year at the Streamy Awards, akin to the Oscars of the internet. “I always want my followers to know it’s because of them that I’m in those rooms,” says Mulvaney, who is now represented by Creative Artists Agency.
