In an exclusive interview with StarCentral Kids Magazine, Capri Wang opens up about her whirlwind journey through the worlds of fashion, film, and social media—proving that age is no barrier to making a global impact. At just 9 years old, this Chinese American child model, actress, and influencer is capturing hearts and headlines across the globe—with no signs of slowing down.
Capri’s star power shines brightest on Instagram, where she’s already amassed a jaw-dropping 600,000 followers, and her fanbase is growing by the minute. Whether she’s striking a pose, playing dress-up, or simply goofing around with her signature humour, Capri’s magnetic personality is impossible to ignore.
But behind the adorable smile and flawless fashion sense lies a résumé that reads like a seasoned pro. Capri has fronted high-end campaigns for luxury fashion powerhouses including Dior, Balmain, Michael Kors, and Calvin Klein. Her polished runway walk and camera-ready presence have earned her a seat at the table among the industry’s biggest names—all before she’s hit double digits.
Her talents don’t stop at modelling. On the acting front, Capri has already appeared in eight short films, with her standout performance in The Other Moon Goddess earning praise for her emotional depth and natural screen presence. A multi-talented performer, Capri also adores singing, dancing to K-pop, and playing tennis. When she’s not in front of the camera or on set, you’ll find her painting, crafting, or making her fans laugh with her hilarious makeup videos—a perfect showcase of her bubbly personality and charm.
Much of Capri’s confidence and savvy comes from her dynamic partnership with her mother, Jessica Wang, a digital powerhouse and fashion icon in her own right. Together, they’ve built a lifestyle empire that bridges cultures and generations, inspiring fans of all ages with their creativity, style, and strong mother-daughter bond.
With a bright future ahead and a fast-growing presence across fashion, film, and social media, Capri Wang isn’t just a child star—she’s a force of nature. And with her infectious energy and unstoppable work ethic, it’s safe to say she’s only getting started.
You’ve modeled for big brands like Dior and Calvin Klein! What was the coolest outfit you’ve ever worn on a photoshoot?
I loved my looks for the Balmain shoot—they were so edgy! A few editorial shoots I’ve done in the past were super fun too. The outfits were bold, creative, and really let me step outside the box.
You’ve acted in “The Other Moon Goddess” and other short films—what do you love most about being in movies?
Acting is so much fun because I get to step into someone else’s shoes and live a totally different life for a while. My recent film, “Seneca, Speak”, just premiered in LA, and it was such an amazing experience! I love working with super-talented and creative people—they inspire me so much. And the best part? I get to feel all kinds of emotions and tell stories that make people laugh, cry, or think.
You love K-pop dancing! If you could dance with any K-pop group, who would it be?
Blackpink, of course! They’re so cool, and their energy is amazing. Plus, their choreography is next-level—imagine how fun it would be to learn their moves and dance with them on stage. I’d totally fangirl, though!
Your funny makeup videos are so popular! What’s the silliest or most creative look you’ve ever done?
Oh, my silliest one has to be the “crying” look I did that was inspired by Kim Kardashian—it was so over-the-top and dramatic! But recently, I got to work on something super cool: recreating the Evil Queen look inspired by the “Snow White” film, with the star herself Gal Gadot! She’s so kind and fun, and we chatted about makeup tips, her movie and life.
You have so many Instagram fans! What’s your favorite thing about sharing your life with them?
I love how I get to connect with so many amazing besties from all over the world. It’s so fun to share my adventures, hear their stories, and just have a good time together. It feels like one big happy family!
Your mom, Jessica Wang, is also super famous online! What’s the best thing about working with her?
She’s not just my mom—she’s my best friend! We’re always laughing, being silly, and having the best time together. She teaches me so much about fashion and life, and I try to teach her K-pop dances (she’s still bad… by the way!). We also love trying new things together, like fun online classes or cool stuff like indoor skydiving. She’s my ultimate partner-in-fun!
You’ve already done so many amazing things—what’s one big dream you still want to achieve?
I’d love to work on a big movie or TV series someday! Something where I get to play a really cool character—maybe a superhero or someone who goes on epic adventures. It would be so exciting to see my name on the big screen!
If you could design your own fashion line, what would it look like?
I always say there aren’t enough cool clothes for kids my age! My older sister Hazel, who’s 12, gets to wear all these chic outfits, and I’m like, “What about me?!” I’d love to design a line that’s trendy, stylish, and inspired by K-pop—that makes you feel confident and cool.
A lot of kids look up to you! What advice would you give to kids who want to be models or actors like you?
First of all, don’t be afraid to dream big! If you want to be a model or actor, start by practicing and having fun with it—take pictures, make little videos, and just enjoy the process. Be confident in yourself and don’t give up, even if it feels hard sometimes. Most importantly, you should always be kind to everyone you meet. You never know who might help you on your journey!
