Our pick is Rebecca Mardikes, she has proven herself in 2020 to become social media’s new fashion star. The midwest beauty left her Kansas hometown to chase her dreams in New York City. She has now accomplished a Master’s in Journalism, a successful modeling career, prestigious fashion and beauty brand partnerships, gained over 150K+ social media followers in the past year, and has secured publicist placements with every Condé Nast and Hearst publication.
