Nobody’s perfect, right? Well, Dove Cameron might be an exception to that rule. Dove is only twenty-two years old, but she is already making her mark on the entertainment industry and growing a massive audience. She got her big break on the Disney Channel show Liv and Maddie—audiences and critics alike were super impressed at her ability to play two twins and make them completely different characters! And unlike many actors who got their start on Disney Channel as teenagers, she has gracefully stepped out of her comfort zone as a performer without having a quarter life crisis. She seems like the rare Disney Channel star who can make an easy transition to other kinds of work in Hollywood. People already have her pegged for great things.
She plays Mal in the Descendants films, and she is currently working on the third instalment of this series. She’s also playing Ruby in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Her new role will surely propel her to even greater heights of fame. Wanna stay up to date with all of her new projects?

6. HER AND HER BOYFRIEND ARE #GOALS
Okay, yes, that is a photo of Dove’s boyfriend wearing a jacket with her face on it. Totally extra? Yes. Totally adorable? Also yes. How many guys out there would be willing to do something like that? We’re willing to bet the answer is “not many.” She is currently dating Thomas Doherty, who is one of her fellow cast members in the Descendants series. She is always posting cute photos of the two of them hanging out together, traveling the world, and just generally being #relationshipgoals. Seriously, after looking at just a few photos of the two of them together, we guarantee you’ll be sitting there wondering, “Um, where can I find my Thomas?” They clearly have so much fun working together, and Dove is head over heels in love with this guy—just look at how happy she is in this photo! These two were definitely meant to be.
5. SHE’LL GIVE YOU GORGEOUS MAKEUP INSPIRATION
Dove is a natural beauty. Seriously, this girl is just gorgeous—if she has not thought about modelling yet, don’t be surprised if she goes down that route in the future. Even though Dove definitely doesn’t need makeup to look her best, she clearly enjoys wearing it, as you can see from this photo posted on her Instagram.
If you’re looking for incredible makeup inspiration, look no further than Dove’s Instagram! Sure, you could follow beauty gurus and get step by step tutorials, or you could get some creative ideas from Dove and make the look your own.
She’s a big fan of shimmery eye shadows—particularly with pink undertones—and dramatic red lipstick! Is there any look that screams “Classic Hollywood” like bold red lipstick? Nope! If you have a similar skin tone, eye color, or hair color to Dove, you need to be following her starting, like, yesterday.
4. SHE SHARES AWESOME TRAVEL PHOTOS WITH HER FANS
Naturally, Dove gets to do a lot of traveling for her job as an actor. She flies all over the place for interviews, talk show appearances, filming commitments, and just to spend time with family and friends. All of that traveling might sound amazing to us, but for her, it probably gets exhausting after a while. Luckily for us, we get to live vicariously through her on her Instagram, and we don’t even have to deal with the jet lag. Just check out this photo she posted of her having breakfast in her cozy pyjamas, looking down at a bustling city. Doesn’t that sound amazing? Unfortunately, we can’t all live like the celebs do, but we can get a little piece of that lifestyle by following Dove on Instagram. So if you want to tag along on her next adventure, you definitely need to hit that follow button and stay updated.
3. HER CAREER IS TAKING OFF RIGHT NOW
Now, some people may write off Dove as nothing more than a “Disney actress,” but this could not be further from the truth—her career is totally blowing up right now, and if you want to come along for the ride, you need to follow her on social media to stay in the know. Yes, her time on Liv and Maddie has ended, but if you like fantasy musicals, you will definitely want to check out the Descendants series that she stars in. Fantasy not quite your thing? Well, what about superheroes? Then you should tune into Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., where she plays a totally different kind of character. She has also acted in musicals and is currently working on her new single, which she tweeted about a while ago! So whatever you’re into, Dove is probably working on it right now. She is the definition of a triple threat.
2. HER POSTS BALANCE OUT ALL THE NEGATIVITY ONLINE
We all know that social media can be filled with negativity these days. Actually, not just social media—all media can be super negative! Seriously, if you want to ruin a good mood, just turn on the news for a few minutes and take a look at everything going wrong. But honestly, just because many people with big platforms tend to focus on the negative doesn’t mean that the world is ending. There are also plenty of other people out there who would rather spread positivity.
If you’re tired of going on social media only to scroll through one negative post after another, you should definitely follow Dove.
She cuts through all of that noise and talks about everything that’s actually RIGHT with the world. So if you would rather follow people who brighten up your mood rather than bring you down all the time, just check out Dove’s Twitter.
1. SHE GETS INTO IN-DEPTH DISCUSSIONS ABOUT HER CHARACTERS
Over the past few years, Dove has played some pretty complex characters. From playing two identical twins in Liv and Maddie to Mal in the Descendants to Ruby in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., she always tends to go for roles that have many layers. Luckily for her fans, she will happily get into deep discussions about her characters on Twitter! So you can ask her for life advice, or you can just ask her about her thoughts on a certain scene. Whatever you want to know, she’s all ears! Recently, she got into a pretty serious conversation about playing Ruby on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
