    Kylie Jenner is set to star in Charli xcx's new film

    The 28-year-old make-up mogul - who is dating Hollywood star Timothee Chalamet - will appear alongside Charli, and the likes of Alexander Skarsgard, Rachel Sennott, Rosanna Arquette, Jamie Demetriou, Isaac Powell, and Shygirl in The Moment


    Charli has teased details of her latest project on social media, posting the film title on her Instagram page.

    Charli captioned the image: "based on an original idea by charli xcx.

    "The moment. coming 2026. @a24 @aidanzamiri (sic)"

    Charli is set to lead the star-studded cast and it's been confirmed that she'll play a rising pop star navigating "the complexities of fame and industry pressure while preparing for her arena tour debut".

    The film has been written by Aidan and Bertie Brandes, and will premiere in 2026.

    Meanwhile, Charli previously claimed that "niche" pop stars are finally getting the success they deserve.

    The singer - who released her acclaimed Brat album in 2024 - believes that pop music has entered a "really interesting" new era.

    Charli told i-D magazine: "I think it's a really interesting time in pop music where [being] niche is being rewarded in a way that we haven't seen for a while.

    "It feels like there's this new wave of artists with different ambitions and cultural touchpoints who are really thriving in mainstream culture. And I think that's myself, that's Troye [Sivan], that's Chappell [Roan].

    "When I think about the three of us, that's a lot of music that either is inherently a part of queer culture or is very much inspired by it and that's super cool."

    Brat was a huge hit with fans and critics, and Charli confessed to being surprised by its success.

    She said: "Before Brat came out, I was saying to everyone around me, 'Be prepared that this is probably going to be the album that doesn't perform very well at all.' Because I was like, 'I'm just going to make songs about my friends. I'm going to name check them all. I don't really care if anybody else likes it. I just need to do this because the previous record was so about me trying to appeal.'"
