Even if you don't watch "The Vampire Diaries," you should know Kat Graham. Not only does she star on the show as ultrapowerful witch Bonnie Bennett, she also boasts singer and beauty ambassador for Wet n' Wild on her impressive resume.

I met up with her behind the scenes of her Wet n' Wild photo shoot while she was getting dolled up. Since she's never one to shy away from risk on the red carpet, I had to know if there was anyone she considered her style icon. Immediately, she answers Pharrell, then takes her time to ponder and responds with Rita Ora, Grace Jones, Gwen Stefani, Isabella Blow, Janet Jackson and Aaliyah.

But just because she consistently kills it on the red carpet now doesn't mean she hasn't had her blunders. "I wish I would have been more patient with my brows," she tells me. When she was younger, her mom told her she couldn't pluck her brows -- so she took a shaver to them (from where I was sitting, it appeared that no permanent damage had been done).

Her biggest piece of beauty advice: Be yourself. And you can tell from the way she carries herself, she practices what she preaches.
