Birthday Girl Mandy Moore Is Already Having an Incredible Year — Here's Proof!

Mandy Moore — teen pop star turned TV megastar — has been one of our favorites for almost two decades, and currently has us crying along with her every week on NBC's hit show This Is Us. On the show, she plays Rebecca Pearson, a character who ages four-plus decades often in a single episode (did you catch the heartbreaking look at Rebecca during the season three finale?), which makes it even crazier that Moore is turning just 35 today!

While Rebecca's fate seems to be heading in a tragic direction, if the beginning of 2019 has been any indication, the opposite is true for birthday gal Mandy. She's a newlywed, having married Taylor Goldsmith in November 2018; her show took home the SAG award for outstanding performance by an ensemble in a drama series for the second time in a row in January (and no surprise, the cast made us cry with a sweet acceptance speech); and she scored her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame last month, with castmates from This Is Us and even her A Walk to Remember costar Shane West joining her for the big event.

Need more proof that 2019 is Moore's year? Come see her in person at POPSUGAR Play/Ground in June in NYC. Mandy is headlining our weekend-long festival that celebrates powering your happy with workouts, a fashion and beauty marketplace, chats with A-list celebs, and tons more. "It's a festival that celebrates all aspects of the modern-day woman — playfulness, politics, health, wellness, and fearlessness. Come join me!" she announced on her Instagram last month, so basically you need to buy your tickets now! You wouldn't want to disappoint mama Pearson, now would you?! Before you come see Moore IRL, check out our favorite moments from her stellar year so far.

Showing Her SAG Awards Style

Mandy wore a Jason Wu mermaid gown to the SAG Awards in January, and we loved the cinched waist and sequined off-the-shoulder neckline paired with the thigh-high slight on the ride side, which showed off her crystal-adorned Jimmy Choo sandals. Even cooler, Moore's entire ensemble actually supports UNICEF, so she's dressed with a purpose in mind, and there's nothing more empowering than that.

Mandy looked like the star she is when she visited The Today Show in February and opened up about the latest season of her hit show. "I think what's been really powerful, this season especially, is seeing her relationship with her children, especially with Kate and Kevin, sort of crystallize and feel their connection a little deeper," she said. "Obviously we have a lot of underlying issues. And having seen them sort of combat them together, like, head to head and work through them together forces all of us to sort of hold up a mirror to our own lives and think about our families and the different family dynamics."

Aging Before Our Eyes

"The future is here," Mandy captioned this Instagram shot, which showed off her transformation for the season three finale of This Is Us.

Mandy visited Jimmy Kimmel Live last month in a gorgeous printed dress that featured a ruffle neckline and a high-low train that was clearly made for twirling. During the show, she divulged a few secrets about her intimate wedding to singer Taylor Goldsmith and the honeymoon that followed.

Chop, Chop

"Surprise! I got a chop!" Moore captioned this Instagram pic last month. We definitely approve of her new look.

When Mandy got her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, fun was had by all. The This Is Us actress was joined by her husband, Taylor Goldsmith, as well as her current and former costars for the special occasion. This Is Us creator Dan Fogelman kicked things off by sharing a few jokes, and her castmates kept her laughing at the ceremony.

March's PaleyFest was basically a big family reunion for the cast of This Is Us. Mandy joined her TV family for a panel in LA and teased that the season three finale and "her" mystery would be "a lot for people to digest emotionally." Chrissy Metz added that it would be completely "devastating."

Then and Now

Mandy was joined by A Walk to Remember costar Shane West — 17 years after the movie premiered — at her Walk of Fame ceremony in March. During his speech, West gushed over the actress: "Your energy is irresistible and your heart is second to none. I always knew you were incredibly talented and I always knew you were going to go on to do big things and amazing things, and you have . . . I couldn't be more proud of you." The pair then re-created their iconic pose from the movie poster.

"Stars have always sort of been our thing," Moore wrote on Instagram. "Thankful to @theshanewest for his kind words on this very special day, one which I will never forget. It was a walk (of fame) to remember.🌟"
