Kayla Wallace's Stunning Transformation Is Hard To Ignore

If you're not aware of Kayla Wallace's acting chops, go back and watch some of her episodes of "When Calls the Heart" on the Hallmark Channel, which are a bit sappy but still sweet, then tune into her confident turn as lawyer Rebecca Falcone on "Landman." These two roles couldn't be more opposite. Though she still feels like a relative unknown in the industry, her "Landman" role has firmly fitted her into the pop culture conversation. While some folks are debating whether they like Falcone as a character, and admiring her marriage and 2025 baby news with Hallmark stalwart Kevin McGarry, or discussing how stunning she and the leading ladies of "Landman" are without makeup, we are tuning into the gorgeous transformation she's had through the years.

Wallace was born on Halloween in 1993 in British Columbia, Canada; she grew up in a small town on Vancouver Island. From a young age, she was an enthusiastic stage star, acting, singing, and dancing. In 2014, she moved to Vancouver to pursue a career in acting, and it didn't take long before she was on Hollywood's doorstep.

In 2015, Kayla Wallace's dancing talents were put to good use when she was cast as a dancer and part of the chorus in Disney's "Descendants." Though it was a background gig, she was on her way. From there, she received bigger roles in TV movies, and in 2018, hit a career high when she was cast in her Hallmark "When Calls the Heart" role, which she held until 2024, when she was written off the show due to scheduling conflicts (presumably for "Landman").

When we look back at her Insta posts from that year, we can see that she had long brunette hair and had that newbie fresh look about her. In a post from a trip to New Zealand in '18, she showed off her lithe figure in jorts and a black top. One fan commented, "You look beautiful in that outfit and you could wear all that more often in the summer!" And from a carousel of posts from 2018, including one where she's wearing a puffer coat layered over a military-style jacket, one fan wrote, "Just a natural beauty."

In 2022, just ahead of when jorts returned as a staple of summer in 2023, Kayla Wallace was showing how carefree the look can be when she paired her denim with a cropped top and slides. She was also sporting a blonder hairstyle and looking more "LA" in the process. That was also a big year for her personally. She and fellow Hallmark actor Kevin McGarry got engaged. The two got married two years later in 2024, the year she landed her career-changing "Landman" role as a Texas-based high-powered lawyer with confidence and sass to spare.

She channeled a bit of the Texas vibe when she attended a "Landman" screening in 2024 wearing a Gabriela Hearst dress, paired with a Nili Lotan belt and Lisa Eisner jewelry. She also started working with Hollywood powerhouse stylist Elizabeth Saltzman, who counts fashion icons like Gwyneth Paltrow, Julianne Moore, and Saoirse Ronan as clients. Fans were here for Wallace's elegant transformation, writing, "She is absolutely stunning," and, "Can you say Breakout Roll. This woman is the new hotness."

Kayla Wallace's "Landman" role has introduced her to a whole new audience, with praise aplenty. One wrote on Facebook, "Kayla is quite an actress. I am really impressed with her part in Landman." Equally impressive is the way she's commanding the red carpet with her on-trend fashion choices. Following her turn in denim-on-denim at a "Landman" promotion in Atlanta in 2025, we can add her to the list of celebrities that pulled off a Canadian tuxedo, which we think pays homage beautifully to both her birthplace and her frequent filming location in Fort Worth, Texas.

In November 2025, Wallace announced her pregnancy on Instagram, saying the baby was due sometime the following year. When she appeared on the red carpet a few days later for the "Landman" Season 2 premiere in New York, she showed her red-carpet prowess in a white Armarium dress elegantly paired with opera-length black gloves from Maximilian Gedra. Like her fans, we're excited to see more of Wallace on the screen and the red carpet.
