Kaya Scodelario as Effy in Skins Series 3 Promotional Photo

Skins returns to our screens later this month and guess which little starlet is stepping up to take the lead role? That's right, Tony's little sister Effy is now the leader of the gang, which means we'll get to see much more of the fabulous Kaya Scodelario.

Kaya was on our fashion radar right at the beginning of the first season, when her character was pictured doing the walk of shame dressed in a bright pink tutu, leopard print leggings and bright red shoes.

We knew she was a fashionista back then and in the second series, thankfully she got a larger role, meaning we saw some amazing new style emerge from the young star.

Despite only being 16, Kaya will soon be seen stepping up to mark as the new Skins leader, following the departure of her brother. Her new extended role in the series is bound to propel her to fame, and rightly so.

Her style on set is very grungy and punk, especially this year as Effy now has streaks of blonde in her hair, wears dr martins and ripped tights; so really she's bang on trend for this season!

Off screen however, Kaya is gaining a reputation as a rising fashion star, choosing eclectic pieces mixed in with high-street clothing, when she attends award events and premieres.

Spotted recently in a stunning black dress with neck embellishments, Kaya has already started to prove her fashion credentials and looks much older than her 16 years.

We think 2009 could be her year in terms of breaking out of TV and into film, as she already has a sci-fi release slated for later this year and her fashion will only continue to develop as she gets more famous.
