Early life
Collins was born in 1995 in Orlando, Florida and grew up in Palm Beach, Florida.[3] Collins was formerly part of Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. After studying for communications at university for three years, she left in order to pursue a social media career. This decision made her parents "very upset".[1]
Career

When she left university at 21, she has already collaborated with several fashion brands: including PrettyLittleThing, Fashion Nova, as well as makeup brands Urban Decay and Tarte Cosmetics.[1] By the time she was 25 years old, she had become a millionaire.[4] This allowed her to purchase a four-bedroom house with a pool.[4] Immediately after becoming a millionaire, she has also reached a million followers on Instagram.[3] Her Instagram posts feature pictures of herself in lingerie, to which the SCMP described as "[leaving] little to the imagination".[1] She said that her followers had grown because she posted twice a day and "[documented] every single thing I was doing".[4] She took part in 2021's Miami Swim Week, walking for boohoo.[5]
Namita Nayyar of Women Fitness described Collins as having "glowing skin and gorgeous hair".[6] Collins maintains a routine for her hair and her diet, in order for her to stay in shape. She does this by planning her meals and eating low-calorie meals.[7][8] She is also body confident and says "I feel that every woman should be confident in her own body".[7]
Personal life
In December 2022, Collins married Tommy Shields in Cancún, Mexico. She originally planned her wedding to be in the Dominican Republic, but this was cancelled due to a hurricane.[1]
