Move Over Lori Harvey… Amara Wayans Is Hollywood’s New “It Girl”
There’s a new young star lighting up Hollywood, and her name is Amara Wayans.
The 23-year-old beauty is quickly becoming one of the most talked-about rising actresses in the industry, and it’s not hard to see why. She’s talented, stylish, and comes from one of the most legendary families in Black entertainment.
Amara is the granddaughter of comedy icon Damon Wayans and the daughter of Damon Wayans Jr. — which means show business is literally in her DNA. She’s grown up surrounded by cameras, scripts, and famous last names, and now she’s stepping into her own spotlight.
And trust us… she’s ready.
Amara recently appeared on the hit family sitcom “Poppa’s House,” starring her father Damon Wayans Jr. and her grandfather Damon Wayans. The show marked her latest move into the mainstream, and fans loved seeing her share the screen with two generations of Wayans greatness.
But it’s not just her acting that has people buzzing.
Amara has a huge social media following and a presence that screams “next big thing.” With her stunning looks and natural confidence, many fans are already comparing her to Lori Harvey — and some are saying she might just be the new face of Hollywood’s elite young social scene.
And yes, the girl is gorgeous.
Amara is often spotted with her famous family, including her siblings and stepfamily. In a recent photo circulating online, Amara was seen alongside her sister Aniya Wayans, stepmother Samara Saraiva, her father Damon Jr., and sister Berlyn Wayans.

Aniya’s mother is Aja Metoyer, known from Basketball Wives, and the blended Wayans family continues to keep fans entertained both on and off screen.
Amara also has a younger brother, Xavier Zechariah Wade, whose father is NBA legend Dwyane Wade. So yes, this family tree is stacked with star power and headlines.

Between the Hollywood legacy, the beauty, and the talent, Amara Wayans is officially one to watch.
And if the buzz keeps building the way it has, she might just be the next big thing to come out of the Wayans dynasty.
