In her four years in the entertainment industry, including her time on Broadway as Regina George and her two seasons spent as Leighton on Max's The Sex Lives of College Girls, Rapp endured intense physical and mental strain, including struggles with anxiety, health, and an eating disorder, all of which the actress and singer has been vocal about. &ldquo;I go back and forth, because I get so anxious on sets and I feel s&mdash; about myself, so I feel like I shouldn&rsquo;t put myself back in that environment,&rdquo; she said in an interview with the <a href="https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/story/2023-09-25/renee-rapp-mental-health-anxiety" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Los Angeles Times</a>, implying her intention to stick to her career as a singer for the foreseeable future.

Rapp is a Frank Ocean fan through and through, revealing on many occasions that her dream Coachella lineup is Beyonc&eacute;, Kacey Musgraves, Jazmine Sullivan, and Frank Ocean. "He's the craziest songwriter ever," said Rapp with admiration in an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6o1VVzsxHXE&amp;ab_channel=MTV" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MTV interview</a>, "it actually makes no sense." To prove her appreciation and reverence for his music, she got a 60:08 tattoo on her forearm, which is the length in minutes of Blonde, one of Frank Ocean's most popular albums.&nbsp;

She has an eclectic personal style.

On <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoXDUSxcJ8c&amp;ab_channel=TODAY" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Today</a>, Rapp described her style as "the kitchen sink," recognizing her tendency to mix up the look of her outfits on a day-to-day basis. On both the red carpet and stage, Rapp has worn everything from fitted, elegant black gowns to baggy dad jean shorts, using her unique fashion sense to showcase who she is as a person. Rapp expressed the importance of personal style in an interview with <a href="https://www.instyle.com/renee-rapp-sex-lives-of-college-girls-everything-to-everyone-interview-2022-6829276" target="_blank" rel="noopener">InStyle</a>, saying, "Clothes have always either been a protective mechanism or something that makes me feel like myself because obviously they're a way of expression and the way that you&rsquo;re physically perceived.&rdquo;
