What is the criteria for being an “it” girl? Do you have to be born into a lavish life? Be an Influencer? Well, we’ll truly never know. Not very long ago, the “It” girl of Tiktok was Alix Earle. She is still considered the “It” girl of Tiktok, but recently Sofia Richie has taken some of the spotlight. Sofia Richie, (also known as singer Lionel Richie’s daughter), has taken over social media after debuting her elegant and timeless wedding at the luxury hotel Du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes, France.

So, why does she attract so much attention? To start off, she is 24-years-old and is able to dress in a traditional yet untraditional manner, considering her age. Her style can be described as elegant, classy, and tasteful. She seems very well put together which attracts people to follow and gain insight into her life. Her sense of fashion has changed tremendously over the years. She went from a so called “party girl” to a “Chanel Girl,”,as some may say. It has shown just how much a person can change and evolve especially in finding their own original sense of style.

Sofia Richie has also converted to Judaism for her spouse, Elliot Grainge. This shows her true commitment and devotion to her husband. Changing your faith/religion is a big step in a marriage, but this was very important to her. She claims it is one of the greatest experiences of her life as fans can truly see that her spouse brings out the best in her.

Over the past week, she has documented her time on her honeymoon, filming “Get ready with me” videos  and the activities she has been doing. The way she shows her life on social media is a source of entertainment as well as fascination for many. Girls look up to her for her maturity and style evolution.

Overall, Sofia Richie seems to be having the time of her life after her dream wedding and she is a perfect example of how “It” girls can influence all for the better.
