A weekend to remember
It has been a wild few days for "Obsession" star Inde Navarrette. After hitting up the Academy Museum Gala on Saturday—where she was lowkey fan-girling over legends like Jessica Lange and Pamela Anderson—she jetted off to the Newport Beach Film Festival on Sunday. Variety honored her as one of their "10 Actors to Watch" during the festival's brunch, and honestly? We love to see it.
Reflecting on the gala, Navarrette told Variety, "You’re just overwhelmed and kind of drowning in everybody that you have looked up to." She specifically shouted out Pamela Anderson for carrying herself with "grace and honesty," which is a total mood.

If you thought she was slowing down, think again. Navarrette is locked in to host the "Saturday Night Live" Halloween episode, with Gracie Abrams joining as the musical guest. She joked that she feels like she "snuck in," but we know she’s going to absolutely eat. She’s keeping the details under wraps because she wants to keep the experience fun for the audience.
And yes, the MCU hype is real. Navarrette is officially stepping into the role of Rogue for the upcoming "X-Men" movie. She’s already diving into stunt training, which she says is the perfect motivation to get back in the gym. "I’m the laziest person, and I am very excited to get up and move my body," she shared.
Why it matters
Navarrette is hitting a major career milestone by joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe and landing a coveted spot on the SNL stage, proving she’s one of Hollywood’s breakout stars to keep on your radar.
