Aly Michalka: 'I'm Here to Stay'

Aly Michalka strikes a pose in an Old Navy shirt and Rachel Leigh necklace for a recent Teen Vogue photo shoot.

Here’s what the 21-year-old Hellcats star had to share with the mag:

On realizing acting was her life’s calling: “When people told me they were inspired by my character [on Phil of the Future], I realized I’d done something cool with my talent - it wasn’t just self-serving - and that I was here to stay.”

On her band 78violet with younger sis AJ: “I’m excited to show people how much the band’s matured [on the upcoming fourth album].”

On her fashion favorites: “I love Vivienne Westwood, Chloe, things that are edgy but feminine. [My new pair of Max Azria wedges] are the sickest shoes ever. I wore them out to dinner with the cast, but then everyone was going to a club, and I was like, ‘These shoes aren’t gonna make it.’ I went home– but the shoes were a smash hit!”
