#SleighedIt: Celebrating the internet sensations who slayed 2023 with their pathbreaking work
Social Nation‘s Christmas campaign “#SleighedIt” is all about celebrating our beloved content creators for their noteworthy work throughout the year. We nominated select creators under 12 distinct categories on our Instagram Stories. Ranging from Visual Storyteller to Tech King to DIY DYnamo, we cherry-picked 3 creators excelling in their respective genres. And the winner was ultimately crowned by YOU, our audience, in the form of polls.
With a staggering 1,852 votes, Alfiya Khan (@trendelitee) emerged as the winner under our category “Santa’s Favourite Aesthetic Queen.” It was a close call between her and the other two noteworthy contenders, Aryaki Joon and Ayesha. The audience sure seems to love Alfiya’s take on modest fashion. If you’re on the lookout for some great modest yet stylish fits then look no further than @trendelitee‘s Instagram feed.
She aims to inspire people who find confidence in coverage. Modifying fashion to a modest level while being relevant is her biggest priority. Let’s take you through our favourite moments from Alfiya’s content journey this year:
Showcasing modest fashion at its best, Alfiya styled and put together amazing outfits for her Goa trip. She started with an airport look then transitioned into a beach one, followed by a casual yet chic outfit to a dressy one and ended it with an easy-breezy maxi dress. She can be so creative and stylish with modest fashion, it’s truly brilliant.
The modest fashion and aesthetics queen surpassed 1,00,000 subscribers on YouTube in March this year. YouTube awarded her with the prestigious silver play button. She came a long way from starting as a creator with 100 subscribers initially and grew over the years. The creator thanked her fans and credited them for making her dreams come true.
In her post, Alfiya wrote “When i initially started posting on youtube, It wasn’t the most rewarding experience for me. I would do my best with all that i had but still not see results. It’s ya’ll who pushed me to keep creating and 5 years later, look what happened 🥺“
When the fashion queen met the dancing queen: Probably the biggest collaboration of her life, Alfiya played Garba and dandiya with the iconic Madhuri Dixit Nene! Thanks to Amazon Music, they danced to Madhuri’s Boom Padi song from the ‘Maja Ma‘ movie.
You can’t talk about Alfiya without talking about aesthetics. This reel beautifully captures the essence of the Mumbai monsoon. With a POV of bunking class to enjoy the rains at Marine Drive with your best friend, it’s a reel that we can all relate to. It is so well shot and executed, we’re complete fans.
Whether she shoots solo or with her girl gang or cousins, the one thing that’s never a miss in her content is the aesthetics. Just look at the gorgeous Diwali reel where every shot is literal perfection. From the set-up to the outfits to the make-up to the props, it is an ethereal watch.
Meta hosted an event to promote AP Dhillon‘s documentary ‘First of a Kind‘ which was graced by many creators including Alfiya. She asked the singer of her favourite song ‘Woh Noor‘ what was the best advice he received from someone and he answered earnestly. She witnessed him perform live and also got to meet and interact with him.
Another USP of her content is the ‘made from scratch’ series where she recreates the outfit worn by a popular celebrity from scratch. She had recreated Sara Ali Khan‘s red suit from her song ‘Tere Vaaste‘ of ‘Zara Hatke Zara Bachke‘ which turned out so well. She then chose to recreate Parineeti Chopra‘s black Manish Malhotra saree. And yet again, the result is stunning.
Always creating value-giving content for her followers, this modest fashion girl frequently gives out product recommendations. But she also started a series where she spoke about the products that she used and regrets buying. Mainly talking about beauty products, the creator mentions why they did not work for her. She’s quite real for doing this.
She celebrated her 25th birthday in the most wholesome manner with the kids from Happie Foundation. Thanking the organisation for helping her execute the most special birthday party ever, she cut her birthday cake with the kids there and fed them too. She also posed and laughed her heart out with them.
Talking about wholesome videos, here’s one where her dad rates the outfits she wore in Udaipur. Watching Uncle earnestly give out scores out of 10 for each of her modest outfits is adorable.
With a great fashion sense, Alfiya showcased her authentic self through her modest fashion. But she also diversified her content by doing product reccos, regret buying videos, aesthetic brand and creator collaborations. She constantly comes up with new and fresh content that resonates with her audience. No wonder she was crowned as Santa’s Favourite Aesthetic Queen!
