Rachel Zegler is on the hunt for her very own girl gang.
The “Snow White” star said in a new interview that she hopes to find sisterhood in Hollywood and does not believe women in the entertainment industry need to see each other as rivals despite its competitive nature.
“All I’m ever really looking for in this business is a sister, and they’re not always easy to find,” she told Allure for her March 2025 cover story, published Tuesday.
“We’re often told that other women have to be your competition, and I don’t subscribe to that.”

Although Zegler, 23, is still searching for strong, supportive friendships, a few women have already stepped up and taken her under their wing.
“Jameela Jamil is like a big sister to me,” she gushed. “I love that she has no regrets about being outspoken, about being strong-willed and strong-minded.”
Her “Shazam! Fury of the Gods” co-stars Helen Mirren and Lucy Liu have also played large roles in her career.
“[They] have been my keepers in all of this, where I feel very held by them,” Zegler said.

Ariana Grande also recently offered her support as Zegler prepares for the live-action Disney remake to hit theaters Friday.
“She reached out to me — kind of apropos of nothing — and was like, ‘If you need anything, I am here,’” she revealed.
The “West Side Story” star noted that Grande, who is also coming off a global press tour for “Wicked,” is “so deeply kind.”
“She has gone through so much in the public eye, and I have always really, really admired her courage in the face of all of that,” she said of the “Eternal Sunshine” singer.

While “in search of female friendship” in the cut-throat industry, Zegler has learned “there is room for all of us [women] no matter what anybody else will have you think.”
“I really do believe in championing your friends and championing your co-workers, whether you’re close with them or not,” she said. “So the second that there’s any intimidation or competition, just put on ‘Girl, So Confusing’ by Charli XCX and talk it out.”
However, not everything can be worked out on the remix, it seems.
Earlier this month, Variety reported that Disney was scaling back “Snow White” promo due to backlash and rumored tension between Zegler and co-star Gal Gadot.
A source later told People that Zegler “has nothing in common” with Gadot, who is 16 years her senior and a mom of four kids.

“On top of that, their political views differ, adding to the tension,” the insider added.
“Gal is annoyed by the movie drama,” a second source told the magazine. “She enjoyed filming. She was fine with Rachel, but they are not friends. They have nothing in common. … They did a job together, and that’s it.”
The “Wonder Woman” star, 39, was reportedly upset that Zegler caused “drama” for the project by speaking negatively about the original 1937 film.
However, a third insider agreed that their “very different political views” were the biggest factor in their fallout.
While Zegler has been a big supporter of Palestine throughout the Israel-Hamas war, Gadot was born in Israel and served in the Israeli army.

We’re told Disney felt like Zegler was “out of control” and did not “know what to do” about it.
“She’s an outspoken 20-something, and Disney chiefs have called her directly and asked her to tone down her posts,” an insider told Page Six earlier this month. “They’ve called her management, but she won’t listen.
“It’s been this way the entire way through filming. But it’s the tying of her politics to ‘Snow White’ that is upsetting.”
Despite rumored issues behind the scenes, the two women came together for the 2025 Oscars and more recently posed together at the Hollywood premiere.
