Liu was born and raised in Brooklyn. She is the daughter of Carley Roney and David Liu, the founders of the wedding planning site The Knot, now known as the lifestyle company The Knot Worldwide. Liu has two younger siblings.[2] Liu is of European descent through her mother and of Chinese descent through her father.[3] She began her artistic career as a dancer when she was a child.[4] Liu studied the intersection of art, activism and wellness practices [clarification needed] at New York University and graduated in 2019 with a Bachelor of the Arts degree.[5][6]
Prior to her street cast, Liu had never expected to become an actress.[7] In September 2020, Liu appeared on the cover of Vogue Italia.[8]
Liu was first cast in a feature-length film in 2019,[9] and so made her acting debut in 2021 with a supporting role in the action drama film Mayday. The same year, she also made her television debut with a minor role in the Netflix comedy drama series The Chair. In 2022, Liu starred in two films: first in a supporting role in Josephine Decker's romantic drama film The Sky Is Everywhere, then in a lead role in the thriller film No Exit. Although the films received mixed reviews from critics, her performance as Darby, a recovering drug addict, in the latter work was praised.[10] She next starred in Emma Seligman's comedy film Bottoms about two lesbian high school girls who start a fight club to hook up with other girls from school, alongside Rachel Sennott, Ayo Edebiri and Kaia Gerber.[11]
Liu identifies as pansexual.[12][13] She stated this at the 2023 SXSW Film & TV Red Carpet + Q&A for the world premiere of her film Bottoms.[14]
