Even though the&nbsp;Gossip Girl&nbsp;reboot has come to an end, Whitney Peak is just getting started.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/whitney-peak-zoyda-lott-gossip-girl-reboot-hbo-max-fashion">Whitney Peak</a> made a name for herself with her lead role in HBO Max's <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/everything-we-know-about-gossip-girl-season-2-release-date-trailer-details-spoilers">Gossip Girl</a> reboot. The young star's acting career began in 2017 with her role in <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/nicole-kidman-being-the-ricardos-backlash-lucille-ball">Aaron Sorkin</a>'s Molly's Game. Since then,&nbsp;she has become one of the most influential women in <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/famous-celebrity-children-young-hollywood">Hollywood</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/celebrities-apres-ski-style-sundance-film-festival">fashion</a>. From her ambassadorship with <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/chanel-spring-summer-2023-haute-couture-collection-runway-images">Chanel</a> to her latest projects, here are five things to know about Whitney Peak in honor of the actress' 20th birthday.&nbsp;

She was an OG Gossip Girl&nbsp;fan.&nbsp;

Before she played her own character, Zoya Lott, on HBO Max's reboot of&nbsp;Gossip Girl, Whitney Peak loved the original series. The <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/best-gossip-girl-fashion-moments-blair-waldorf-serena-van-der-woodsen">original&nbsp;Gossip Girl</a> took place from 2007-2012, meaning Peak was five years old when the series premiered. However, she says that she watched it a few years before she became a part of the Gossip Girl family herself. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, she says she thought the original show was "so entertaining," but it was also "weird" for her because she went to a public school rather than an elitist, private school like Constance Billards.&nbsp;

Though Peak spends her time between <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/travel-living/best-nightclubs-nyc">NYC</a> and LA currently, she was born in Uganda. Her mother is Uganadan while her father is Canadian. She went to boarding school in Uganda until she was ten when her family relocated to Canada in 2012. She says that when she moved to North America, she found more opportunities to act.&nbsp;

Before she was an HBO Max girl, she was on Netflix's&nbsp;The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Before she landed the role of Zoya Lott on HBO Max's&nbsp;Gossip Girl, Whitney Peak starred as Judith Blackwood on Netflix's&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/fashion/the-new-bffs-kiernan-shipka-and-christian-coppola-are-baguettefriendsforever">The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina</a>. This show is an adaptation of&nbsp;Sabrina The Teenage Witch, a 1996 teen sitcom. Netflix's reworking of this show takes on a much darker note, often following the occult and horror. &nbsp;

In 2021, Whitney Peak was announced as the newest brand ambassador for the French fashion house, Chanel. Since then, she's had many opportunities to work with prestigious <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/24-black-owned-fashion-brands-to-shop-support">designers</a> and publications, showcasing her <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/beauty-trends-spring-summer-2023-haute-couture-runways">beauty</a> and natural power in front of the camera. Not only is she gorgeous, but her personal style is similarly artistic yet cool.&nbsp;

In addition to her time on Netflix's&nbsp;The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Whitney Peak was cast as a "good" witch, Becca, in the Disney film, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/sarah-jessica-parker-movies-tv-best-roles-hocus-pocus-sex-and-the-city">Hocus Pocus 2</a>. The movie, directed by Anne Fletcher, follows three young women who must protect modern-day Salem from detrimental witches.&nbsp;
