“I’m so stubborn, and I say no to so many things, until I’m just like, ‘I’d wear this anyway,’ or, ‘I would do this anyway’ … My biggest thing is that I never want to sell out. “I turn down more than I take on, because I always want to be organic,” she says.
Now she has her own place in L.A., and she makes money from social media and traditional modeling. At 15, she moved out of her parents’ house and into an apartment with her older sister. I worked at all of the very commercial, beachy-vibes brands,” like Brandy Melville and PacSun.

After working for a few months in Tokyo, she says, “I did the full rounds in L.A. ”)Ī photo posted by JAY ALVARREZ on at 3:15pm PDTĪlexis tells me she was financially independent by the time she was 14. (Jay captioned one half-naked shot of the two of them, “Kiss you where the sun didn’t get to. They made public displays of affection on Instagram almost daily. They posted short films depicting their romantic vacations on YouTube. They did commercials as a couple for Snapchat, Express, and the all-new Hyundai Tucson. Together, Jay and Alexis exemplified a particular demographic’s (white, young, sporty) relationship goals, and as such, the duo became highly marketable. Last year, after he posted a video of his exploits featuring a barely clothed Alexis, noted authority BroBible declared he’d achieved “bro nirvana.” He’s two years older, with spongy, bleach-blond curls and the swagger of a 21-year-old dude who spends his days surfing, skydiving, and jumping off mansion roofs into ice-blue infinity pools. Until recently, Alexis was dating another Instagram-famous model, Jay Alvarrez. People know me in the States.”Īnd people know a lot about her. And I only want to give back … I can’t believe I’ve affected this many people. I don’t see how that could ever … obviously, I can see how when you get bigger it can get stressful, but at the same time you still have to think, That’s crazy that this many people look up to me. “If I can make a girl’s day by hugging her, hell yeah, I’ll hug the crap out of her. “I will never get tired of it, because I’ve already accepted that’s part of my job, and it would be rude of me to be like, ‘But I don’t like that,’” she explains. Even when people approach her on the street, she’s not bothered.

“I just honestly accepted it as part of the job, and I learned how to enjoy it,” she tells me. This abject devotion doesn’t faze Alexis. “Like it’s unfair that someone can have a stomach like that.” She hugs me - she’s a hugger - and I hear in my head the echoes of awestruck Instagram tweens christening her as “goals.” When we meet a little after noon, she is wearing low-slung jeans and a black T-shirt that has been cropped and tied to display both her midriff and a fair amount of her black, lacy bra, which is maybe a little bit too small. Nous Models lists Alexis’s proportions as 34-22-34, which sounds like an impossibility until you see her in person. (“I always like to have someone with me,” Alexis explains.)Ī post shared by Alexis Ren on at 11:43am PDT One of the team’s assistants, Eve, joins us for lunch. She was represented until recently by the boutique women’s agency Nous Models* she also has a publicist and a management team. She travels all over the world - Bali, Ibiza, Burning Man - and documents her teen-dream swimsuit-wearing lifestyle on social media. Now Alexis has nearly 7 million followers on Instagram and a roster of modeling clients including Calvin Klein, L’Oréal, and Express. “Because of how much I’ve gone through, I want to say I’m more wise than my age.” “I think I’ve lived more in five years than a person has in their entire life,” she says matter-of-factly. She got scouted in a Los Angeles mall at 13, modeled in Japan at 14, and found fame on the internet at 15, when photos of her posing by the pool in a black string bikini went viral on Tumblr. This body helped Alexis become a social-media phenomenon long before she could vote or even drive. “I do work this hard, and I have this body.” “Like, ha!” she exclaims, describing the feeling when haters finally see her in real life or on Snapchat. With long blonde hair, suntanned skin, and a waist so small in circumference it appears to defy the laws of physics, she is a flawlessly filtered bikini body come to life. Her name is Alexis Ren, and she is confidently explaining how she looks the same on Instagram as she does in person. “I hate when people say I Photoshop myself,” the 19-year-old Instagram bikini model tells me over lunch. This week, the Cut explores the allure of trying to achieve the impossible.
