Olandria Carthen is that girl, and Harper’s Bazaar Vietnam just confirmed it. The Bama Barbie graced the cover in a red one-piece with dramatic details and a matching train, paired with a short haircut that’s pure fire. The editorial radiates old Hollywood glam, the same energy her viral looks have been giving lately, and it suits her effortlessly. Back in August 2024, she tweeted, “If I could model full-time, a 9-5 would never see me again 😭,” and now it’s come full circle — she’s living that dream and owning every moment.

She’s been dominating every stage since leaving the “Love Island” villa. From NYFW to the VMAs, the CFDA Awards, and Glamour’s Women of the Year, Olandria has walked every red carpet like a supermodel, serving looks and confidence that turn heads. This week alone, she made the cover of Ebony as their People’s Choice honoree and dropped a breathtaking spread for Harper’s Bazaar Vietnam. Every editorial, every appearance, every outfit shows her leveling up, commanding attention, and solidifying her place in fashion and entertainment.

Recognition isn’t just coming from magazines. The Alabama-bred talent is also being honored by the Femme It Forward Foundation with the Self Love Award, celebrating women who show up, do the work, and push culture and the industry forward. Right now, she’s doing all of that — owning fashion moments, slaying red carpets, and setting trends that others want to follow.

The industry is paying attention. That August 2024 tweet about wanting to model full-time is now a reality as she lands covers and awards. She’s delivering looks, confidence, and work ethic at every turn, building her career while staying unapologetically herself. Viral street style, magazine editorials, red carpets — Olandria is owning every space in fashion and entertainment and showing us exactly how it’s done.
