Model Charlotte D'Alessio once dated Kaia Gerber's brother Presley, but do you know how she came to fame? Coachella and Instagram. Find out more about the Internet sensation...
February 04, 2020 - 13:12 GMT Becky Donaldson Model Charlotte D’Alessio became an instant social media star when an image of her at the 2015 Coachella music festival went viral. She was a 16-year-old Beverly Hills High school student at the time and her world changed overnight.
Charlotte had attended the event with best friend Josie Canseco, daughter of major league baseball player José Canseco and his former wife, model Jessica. It was while the duo were dancing; wearing cut-off denim shorts, flash tattoos, bracelets layered up their arms and pink vest tops, that influential photographer Bryant Eslava, uploaded a sun-drenched hippy-inspired shot of them to his Instagram feed, which had just under a million followers at the time.
Subsequently, the image appeared on Instagram’s trending page and the festival’s official Twitter account; plus, photographer The Cobrasnake also uploaded it, as did musician The Weeknd – exposing the friends to his two million followers. Instagram made her, but does she still find it enjoyable?"It’s definitely fascinating and if you know how to navigate it, it's great and fun. I also like the content you can find on it, but it’s just the validation you search for, even subconsciously. Sometimes you can’t help looking at the numbers [of comments and likes] that are just in your face. That gets to me. With social media, people always have preconceived notions of you. No-one gets out without any hate.
