Koshy’s first turn at Netflix was Work It — an Alicia Keys-produced dance film about a ragtag high school dance squad. The 25-year-old signed an overall deal with Will Smith’s Westbrook Inc. late last year. In addition to her entertainment ventures, she’s also a beauty entrepreneur, having launched a capsule makeup and skincare brand called One Of One in collaboration with the upstart C’est Moi Beauty.
