Maybe it was a few years ago, in a v. fashionable pastel poolside pic beside Maddie and Kenzie Ziegler.
Maybe it was when you spotted her on summer vacay with Millie Bobby Brown. Or, just maybe, it was starring on Brat TV’s Spring Breakaway as mean-girl-goes-soft Autumn alongside besties Anna Cathcart and Jules LeBlanc.
Who is she? you wondered, as Lilia Buckingham became the BFF to nearly *every* cool girl in Hollywood. She’s just…everywhere. You didn’t know her last name or how you wound up scrolling back to the year 2016 on her profile (the phrase “Why is Lilia famous?” yields 1.4 million Google search results).
But you liked her style (think California cottagecore meets Gossip Girl) and you couldn’t miss the star-studded photo shoots at her Beverly Hills house (cut to Lilia, Anna, Jules, Hayley LeBlanc, Nia Sioux and Jillian Shea Spaeder baking Christmas cookies and exchanging presents last year). So, you followed her, because why not?
At first glance, her life seems picture-perfect. A regular teen becoming besties with TV and TikTok stars sounds a little like the plot of a Netflix movie or YA book.
