From models & musicians to actors & actresses, the 50 names you need to know for the new year ahead - plus, why you're bound to love them as much as we do!

Atlanta de Cadenet-Taylor
Who? The clue’s in the name. She’s the daughter of Duran Duran heart-throb John Taylor and 80s It-girl Amanda de Cadenet.
We’ve Got Our Eyes On Her… Having been brought up in LA, Atlanta moved to London in 2012 with big ambitions. She’s since had no trouble picking up DJing and modelling gigs (including this one, for Very, left), and gets her hands on all the hottest party tickets in town.
Diane Sagnier
Melody’s Echo Chamber
Who? Parisian singer Melody Prochet teamed up with Tame Impala frontman Kevin Parker to produce her eponymous debut album − a fuzzy, 11-track offering of psychedelic dream-pop. [/i]
We’ve Got Our Eyes On Her… Because it’s hard to avoid mention of the former Narcoleptic Dancers frontwoman; she’s been featured on every blog and every magazine going this year. Things can only get better in 2013.
For Fans Of: Florence + The Machine, Broadcast, Tame Impala

Tom Holland
Who? The child actor who stole the show as Lucas in The Impossible.
We’ve Got Our Eyes On Him… The Impossible has given Tom a boost up the Hollywood ranks considerably and there is talk that a (well-deserved) awards season nod is on the cards. The now-16-year-old actor isn’t resting on his laurels, however, with 2013’s How I Live Now – the long-awaited film version of Meg Rosoff’s Whitbread Children's Book of the Year – set to propel him yet higher in 2013.
Splash News
AnnaSophia Robb
Who? The young actress stepping into Sarah Jessica Parker’s Manolos for Sex And The City prequel The Carrie Diaries.
We’ve Got Our Eyes On Her… Apparently, our Carrie obsession knows no bounds. We’ve been teased throughout 2012 with the amazing on-set pictures from the show, and when it airs in 2013 it’s set to make AnnaSophia Robb a household name, just like it did SJP.

Arlissa
Who? This gorgeous South London-born singer has been causing a serious buzz in the music industry for her Kate Bush-influenced brand of pop, despite not having released a single track.
We’ve Got Our Eyes On Her… Because she’s got some pretty powerful allies on her side. Arlissa provided the vocals on a collaboration with hip-hop heavyweight Nas. However, rather than liken her to R'n'B stars such as Rihanna, critics have heralded her “the next Florence Welch”.
For Fans Of: Jessie Ware, Florence + The Machine

Rex Features
Austin Butler
Who? Quintessentially hot blond hunk, mainly for tween TV shows.
We’ve Got Our Eyes On Him… We predict that 2013 will be the year that Austin Butler will break away from the High School Musical fold and cross into serious Hollywood leading man territory. Catch him in The Carrie Diaries – and, of course, on the arm of long-term GF Vanessa Hudgens.
Rex Features
Jake Bugg
Who? Nottingham-born indie singer/songwriter Jake Bugg shot to fame after the release of his eponymous debut album in October.[/i]
We’ve Got Our Eyes On Him… Just one year after appearing on the Introducing stage at Glastonbury, aged just 17, his debut album – out now on Mercury Records – shot straight to the top of the UK charts. Plus, he counts Noel Gallagher among his biggest fans.
For Fans Of: The Libertines, Bob Dylan, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds

Angela Sarafyan
Who? Armenian actress with striking green eyes; played Egyptian vampire Tia in Breaking Dawn: Part II.
We’ve Got Our Eyes On Her… Angela’s been working steadily since 2000 but with a Twilight role under her belt and no fewer than six films completed and ready for release in 2013, hitting the big time has never looked more likely for her.

James Arthur
Who? Raspy, Middlesbrough-born singer/songwriter who won The X Factor in 2012.
We’ve Got Our Eyes On Him… Because not only is he heralded for bringing a touch of authenticity back to the otherwise floundering TV talent show, but he’s gone on to make history scoring the fastest selling track of 2012, and breaking iTunes records in the UK. 1D-like mega-stardom beckons, we predict.
For Fans Of: Plan B, Ben Howard
LISTEN TO JAMES ARTHUR ON SOUNDCLOUD
Savages
Who? This post-punk all-female London four-piece have shot to underground fame over the past year, despite having only played their first show in January.
We’ve Got Our Eyes On Them… Because we haven’t seen a (thoroughly deserved) buzz like this erupt over an all-girl group in a long time. The band have graced the pages of all the major music publications in 2012, as well as appearing in the BBC’s Sound Of 2013 long list.
For Fans Of: Joy Division, Siouxsie And The Banshees, Television

Rex Features
Jemima Kirke
Who? The British-born painter-turned-actress who plays Jessa Johnson in Girls.
We’ve Got Our Eyes On Her… With the Girls hype showing little sign of slowing (phew), it’s about time for Jemima’s name to become as recognisable as Lena Dunham’s. She's just given birth to her second child, Memphis, and the world is her oyster.
Zebra Katz
Who? Openly gay Brooklyn rapper braves the macho world of hip-hop with his unique and politically charged take on the genre.
We’ve Got Our Eyes On Him… Because his debut single, Iam Read was the soundtrack to numerous catwalk shows during Paris Fashion Week, he’s toured with Azealia Banks, and we’re pretty sure his message is one that many will choose to support and champion in 2013.
For Fans Of: Nas, Frank Ocean

Elizabeth Debicki
Who? The next big acting talent to come out of Australia.
We’ve Got Our Eyes On Her… After what feels like an age of delays, Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby is finally going to be released in 2013 – and Elizabeth is set to shine in it as Jordan Baker, Nick’s glamorous-yet-cynical lover. We’re in no doubt that the role will be the first of many more exciting ones to come for the young actress.
AlunaGeorge
Who? Stylish London duo Aluna Francis (singer) and George Reid (producer) have garnered a wealth of praise for their modern, forward-thinking take on R'n'B.
We’ve Got Our Eyes On Them… Because it’s not just music blogs and critics who have picked up on these guys – bands like Friendly Fires loved their single Your Drums, Your Love so much, they released a remix of it. They’ve also found themselves on the BBC’s Sound Of 2013 shortlist.
For Fans Of: The XX, SBTRKT, Little Dragon

Gia Coppola
Who? The latest Coppola to be passed the baton in the famous film-making dynasty, Gia is the grand-daughter of Francis Ford Coppola and the niece of Sofia.
We’ve Got Our Eyes On Her… Prolific on Tumblr, self-confessed shy girl Gia has creative talent in spades. She’s quietly carving a niche for herself making short fashion films for the likes of Zac Posen, Diane von Furstenberg and Rodarte, but in a recent interview with NY Mag confessed to wanting to move away from fashion and “write more”. Watch this space.
A.M.E
Who? This 17-year-old London-born singer has been making waves on the underground since she released her first single, Play The Game Boy, via Gary Barlow’s record label earlier this year.
We’ve Got Our Eyes On Her… Because her debut track went straight to No.1 on the UK Urban Charts when it was released and, while there is no word yet on this feisty, R'n'B starlet’s first album, we predict 2013 will be her year to shine.
For Fans Of: Rihanna, Nicki Minaj

Harley Viera-Newton
Who? A DJ-model-fashion world darling from NYC.
We’ve Got Our Eyes On Her… Harley’s just one of those girls who exudes cool and, although she hates the title It-girl, that’s the best way we know to describe her. She DJs at the coolest events (Max Mara party, Monique Lhuillier party, StyleBop party all currently on the calendar), the mags love her, she’s friends with some of fashion’s biggest names and she landed herself a prestigious spot in VOGUE.CO.UK’s Today I’m Wearing schedule. If 2012 was big, 2013 is set to be even bigger.

Israel Broussard
Who? A handsome Mississippi-born actor who has hitherto held various parts on US TV shows.
We’ve Got Our Eyes On Him… Israel is ditching TV for the big screen, starring opposite Emma Watson and Leslie Mann in Sofia Coppola’s upcoming film, The Bling Ring – as leading man, no less.
Susanne Sundfør
Who? This Grammy-winning Norwegian singer/songwriter, 26, already has three hit albums under her belt in Scandinavia. Her fourth album, The Silicone Veil, marked a critically acclaimed UK debut when it was released in October 2012.
We’ve Got Our Eyes On Her… Because she is probably one of the most outstanding female artists we have seen live. Her emotive, progressive blend of folk electronica is as desperate and haunting as it is beautiful, and is set to continue garnering praise and appeal as she tours in 2013.

Jake Abel
Who? You know, Luke Castellan from Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief.
We’ve Got Our Eyes On Him… Jake’s back in the second Percy Jackson installment, Percy Jackson: Sea Of Monsters and, instead of just being nominated for an MTV Movie Award this time around, we’re slating him to win one. And, of course, there’s the small matter of him being cast in The Host – Stephenie Meyer’s follow-up to The Twilight Saga...

Rex Features
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Who? You know – the guy we fell for, in tandem with Zooey Deschanel, in (500) Days Of Summer. Also played a version of Bruce Willis in Looper. Yeah, that guy.
We’ve Got Our Eyes On Him… Truth be told, we have for a while – but it would be rude not to give him a name check here because, like we said in our January issue, 2013 is indeed all about JGL. Start getting excited now for Don Jon’s Addiction, which this super-talented megastar-in-training has written, directed and starred in.
Rex Features
Allison Williams
Who? Girls’ Marnie Michaels.
We’ve Got Our Eyes On Her… Because we’d be foolish not to – the Girls girls are going nowhere, see.
Rex Features
Josh Hutcherson
Who? The strong-jawed young thesp who nabbed the coveted role of Peeta Mellark in The Hunger Games.
We’ve Got Our Eyes On Him… The Hunger Games will be hitting the headlines again this year thanks to the sequel, Catching Fire – plus, since the first instalment, Josh has been a very busy boy. Fans can also catch him in the remake of cult 1984 film Red Dawn, or Epic, or Aaron & Sarah, or indeed, all of the above.
PA
Laura Hayden
Who? A half-British, half-Catalonian Spanish TV presenter; model; blogger; fashion-world scenester.
We’ve Got Our Eyes On Her… Not only is Laura scratch-your-eyes-out pretty, but her blog Hora Confessions became one of our must-reads in 2012. Plus, she lives in Barcelona, which cranks up the cool points no end. We’ll be following her every stylish move next year, when she’ll be spending more time in the UK.

Rex Features
Lee Pace
Who? An Emmy-nominated US actor, best known as Ned in Pushing Daisies.
We’ve Got Our Eyes On Him… It’s true: 34-year-old Lee’s no newcomer. But with a starring role in all three of the upcoming Hobbit films, we reckon 2013 will be the year he finally breaks the ‘household name’ barrier.
Lowell
Who? Super-cool Canadian electro artist backed by a Scandinavian supergroup.
We’ve Got Our Eyes On Her… Because her debut mini-album, Apparatjik Presents Lowell, which was produced by Grammy-winning collective Apparatjik, has enjoyed a wealth of positive attention from critics and DJs alike since it was released in October 2012. Imagine what it’s going to be like when she breaks out a full-length in 2013?

Madison Headrick
Who? Another contender to step into catwalk model stardom in 2013, signed to über-agency Marilyn in New York.
We’ve Got Our Eyes On Her… This 18-year-old from South Carolina blazed onto the fashion scene this year when Prada snapped her up exclusively for both its autumn/winter 2012 show and campaign. The editorials haven’t stopped coming since.
Rex Features
Max Irons
Who? The well-spoken progeny of Jeremy Irons and Sinéad Cusack.
We’ve Got Our Eyes On Them… With Max’s lineage, taking up acting was more likely than not – although he did cut he teeth on modelling campaigns for the likes of Burberry and Mango. He’ll become a household name in his own right in 2013, however, thanks to his starring role in Stephenie Meyer’s The Host, alongside Saoirse Ronan and fellow One To Watch Jack Abel. Well, his association with Meyer didn’t do R-Patz’s career any harm, did it?

Paris Jackson
Who? Michael Jackson’s only daughter.
We’ve Got Our Eyes On Her… She may only be 14-years-old but there’s no denying that there’s something about this girl. She’s already got over a million followers on Twitter and has proved a steady, sensible force amid the various Jackson fall-outs of recent years. Whatever she decides to turn her hand to, our money’s on her excelling at it.
Palma Violets
Who? London indie quartet Palma Violets have been causing a stir on the underground with their energetic live performances and catchier-than-thou rock anthems.[/i]
We’ve Got Our Eyes On Them… Because despite not having released their debut album yet (roll on 25 February 2013), they’ve already found themselves on the cover of the NME, winning the music mag’s Single Of The Year with their track Best Of Friends and being shortlisted for the BBC’s Sound Of 2013.

Rebel Wilson
Who? The Aussie actress and stand-up who played Matt Lucas’ scene-stealing little sister in Bridesmaids.
We’ve Got Our Eyes On Her… Bridesmaids brought Rebel worldwide recognition and she’s been working hard ever since (be sure to catch her alongside Anna Kendrick in Pitch Perfect). Next year, she’ll star alongside Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson in movie Pain & Gain, and she’s written a TV show, Super Fun Night, which she’ll also be starring in when it airs on ABC in the US next year.
Rex Features
Rumer Willis
Who? The fabulously monikered eldest daughter of Hollywood royalty Bruce Willis and Demi Moore.
We’ve Got Our Eyes On Her… Rumer may gain automatic entry to the hottest events in Tinseltown (NB: her wardrobe is un-be-lieveable), but she’s not resting on her famous family laurels. She’s determined to carve her own way as an actress and has recently been spotted in shows such as 90210, Hawaii Five-O, CSI: NY and Comedy Central series Workaholics. Could 2013 be holding The Big One?

Angel Haze
Who? Michigan-born rapper Angel Haze makes gutsy, intelligent hip-hop. She once claimed the only similarity between her and other female rappers was their gender, and declared her dream collaboration to be with The Smiths.
We’ve Got Our Eyes On Them… Because her 2012 mixtapes Reservation and Classick were so highly regarded for their quality, the music press can’t wait to hear a full album from the future star. First up for 2013, however? Aside from a nomination in the BBC’s Sound Of 2013 list, Haze is set to collaborate with Queen of Harlem cool, Azealia Banks.

Sam Claflin
Who? A LAMDA graduate, he played William alongside Kristen Stewart in Snow White & the Huntsman.
We’ve Got Our Eyes On Him… British actor Sam triumphed in the auditions arena to win the pivotal role of Finnick Odair in The Hunger Games’ follow-up Catching Fire – his biggest to date, and the one that will guarantee him open doors galore in Tinseltown. Atta boy.
Rex Features
Sky Ferreira
Who? A blonde singer-songwriter who you’d be forgiven for mistaking for Taylor Momsen. She’s also done her fair share of modelling and acting (natch).
We’ve Got Our Eyes On Her… Ferreira was all over the front rows – including Chanel’s – in September, which is a sure-fire barometer for fame. She released an EP, Ghost, in October, and has a new film, IRL, out next year.
Karin Park
Who? The statuesque Swedish beauty has won a Grammy or two in her native Scandinavia, and 2012 saw Park and her brother David release an impressive UK debut album, Highwire Poetry – an aural feast of gothic electronica and delicate, ethereal vocals.
We’ve Got Our Eyes On Her… Because after festival appearances at Lovebox and The Great Escape, and a slot supporting Gary Numan on his recent UK tour, things can only get better for Karin in 2013. Did we mention she landed a job as the face of Swarovski this year, too? If she’s good enough for David Bowie…

Suraj Sharma
Who? The New Delhi-born unknown who beat off over 3,000 other applicants to play the title role in Ang Lee’s Life Of Pi.
We’ve Got Our Eyes On Him… Suraj’s movie debut is one of the most hotly anticipated this year. There’s already talk of an Oscar nomination – although the reluctant star has returned to complete his philosophy degree at St Stephen's college, Delhi University, for now.
Rex Features
Violet
Who? British indie-grunge band fronted by rock offspring Pixie Geldof and some hairy-looking chaps.[/i]
We’ve Got Our Eyes On Them… Because despite what the critics might have said about the fashionista’s foray into the music biz, Violet’s output thus far has been pretty darn impressive. Plus, we’re sure her arsenal of cool celeb mates – including Radio1 DJ Nick Grimshaw – aren’t going to harm the band’s ascent to festival slot stardom in 2013. Not to be underestimated.

The Weeknd
Who? Elusive and soulful Canadian R'n'B star, real name Abel Tesfaye, has attracted a wealth of attention for his emotive, stripped-back take on the well-worn genre.
We’ve Got Our Eyes On Him… Because not only has he landed himself a spot on the BBC’s highly regarded Sound Of 2013 long list, but his single Wicked Games has notched up over 20million YouTube hits since it debuted a year ago. Be prepared to watch demand for this star skyrocket in 2013.

Stef Van Der Laan
Who? A Dutch catwalk model with lips that would make Angelina Jolie’s eyes water.
We’ve Got Our Eyes On Her… With our favourite blonde from the Netherlands concentrating on family matters these days, Stef’s perfectly positioned to step into her red-soled shoes come 2013. Her CV is impeccable: she’s Givenchy’s campaign girl this season, and walked for Chanel in September.

Death At Sea
Who? Liverpudlian five-piece Death At Sea produce sun-drenched indie-pop destined for a festival stage near you.
We’ve Got Our Eyes On Them… Did you hear their debut double AA-side single, Drag/Selfless? The band have appeared in Ones To Watch lists the internet over, despite having only released it a couple of months ago. The hype is only set to build throughout 2013.

Vanessa Kirby
Who? The British stage actress who made the leap to screen as Estrella in the 2011 BBC adaptation of Great Expectations.
We’ve Got Our Eyes On Her… Next year is set to be Vanessa’s year – big time. She has not one, not two, but four films slated for release in 2014: Wasteland, a thriller by writer-director Rowan Athale; The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman alongside Shia LeBeouf; Ridley Scott’s mini-series of Kate Mosse’s novel, Labyrinth; and About Time, Richard Curtis’s time-travel rom-com.
Mari Sarai
Saint Saviour
Who? The former Groove Armada vocalist and songwriter (real name Becky Jones) has gone rogue! Counts Neil Tennant and Hurts among her biggest fans.
We’ve Got Our Eyes On Her… Because despite the fact she’s drawn comparisons to Kate Bush and Sinead O’Connor, we think she exists in a soundscape totally of her own design. We’ll be watching with eager anticipation when Jones releases her second solo album in 2013.
For Fans Of: Groove Armada, Bat For Lashes, Sinead O'Connor

Willow Shields
Who? The 12-year-old actress who stepped into the spotlight as Primrose Everdeen in 2012 hit The Hunger Games.
We’ve Got Our Eyes On Her… Willow may be young, but she’s contracted to The Hunger Games franchise through 2015 and, next year, she’ll be back on the big screen for the second instalment, Catching Fire.

The Neighbourhood
Who? This Californian quintet, fronted by the remarkably good-looking Jesse Rutherford, have been slowly gathering recognition for their credible brand of melodic indie-rock.
We’ve Got Our Eyes On Them… Because not only have these guys been tipped for the top by the likes of Zane Lowe and The Guardian, but they’ve got mass appeal by the bucketload. The charts will be full of The Neighbourhood next year – especially when they release their debut album in March 2013.

Zawe Ashton
Who? A British writer and actress, currently playing Vod in award-winning Channel 4 comedy Fresh Meat.
We’ve Got Our Eyes On Her… Zawe may be in the spotlight right now thanks to Fresh Meat but she’s no one-trick pony. She writes her own material (she’s currently under commission to London’s Bush Theatre), has stage credits galore on her CV and is a former London Poetry Slam Championship winner. Plus, she got a nomination for Most Promising Newcomer at the 2012 British Independent Film Awards, with which we have to concur.
Saint Lou Lou
Who? Fashion-forward Swedish twins Elektra and Miranda divide their time between the balmy beaches of Sydney and the long, chill winters of Stockholm. They make blissed-out, hazy electro that perfectly reflects a fusion of the two influences.[/i]
We’ve Got Our Eyes On Them… Because we found it hard to find a music blog that weren’t raving about the duo when they released their first demo track, Maybe You, over the summer. Since then, they’ve signed up to super-cool French label Kitsuné and worked with pop mega-writers Richard X and Hannah Robinson (of Sugababes songwriting fame). Just wait until they bring out an album!
For Fans Of: Grimes, Lana Del Rey

Zendaya Coleman
Who? Disney girl; plays Rocky Blue in tween TV hit Shake It Up.
We’ve Got Our Eyes On Her… Such is this young star’s fame that she tends to go by just her first name, Zendaya – eat your heart out, Beyoncé. She recently won the auspicious honour of being profiled by Teen Vogue as one of Hollywood’s most exciting up-and-coming talents, and even has a unique name for her fans: zswaggers. Yes, we’re paying attention.

Kodaline
Who? This Dublin-based four-piece have attracted a lot of attention since they released their debut EP in September 2012.
We’ve Got Our Eyes On Them… Because their single All I Want was featured on hit US drama Grey’s Anatomy and championed by Radio 1’s own Zane Lowe and Fearne Cotton. Plus, they’re anthemic and emotive indie-pop has landed them on Ones To Watch lists industry-wide already.

Patrick Schwarzenegger
Who? The ridiculously handsome 19-year-old model son of action hero Arnold Schwarzenegger.
We’ve Got Our Eyes On Him… Because it’s pretty hard not to – have you seen his face?! Plus, 2013 marks the year that this Hollywood pedigree makes his first major film debut starring in Grown Ups 2. The first of many, we think.
