From TikTok to the catwalk, meet the style star turned IMG model.

If you manage to scroll past the dance routines, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/6-beauty-tiktokers-to-follow">beauty hacks</a>, and comedic skits &mdash; chances are you'll stumble upon one of Widsom Kaye's <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/tiktok-beauty-trends-that-actually-work-makeup">Tiktoks</a>. The Houston-born 21-year-old is quickly making a name for himself as the platform's most fashionable creator. In his brief time on the app, the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/how-to-layer-for-summer-style-fashion-looks-the-row">style</a> icon has amassed over 8 million followers&mdash;and for good reason. His thematic styling clips pull inspiration from industry darlings <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/celine-fall-winter-2022-collection-hedi-slimane-paris">Hedi Slimane</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/converse-rick-owens-drkshdw-new-sneakers-collection-drkstr-colorways">Rick Owens</a>, his favorite designers, and effortlessly capture the look on a budget.

Yet it's Kaye's accessible approach to <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/french-girl-style-icons-brigitte-bardot-vintage-fashion">styling</a> that's made his account a platform favorite. The TikTok star constantly replies to his comments, taking on styling challenges in the chicest way possible. One user requested "make outfits based on animated characters," and to no one's surprise, the Texas native threw together a slew of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/topless-model-runway-moments">runway</a>-ready looks perfectly on message.

With a six-foot-four stature, naturally, Tiktok's best-dressed creator attracted attention from the fashion industry itself. The internationally recognized <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/kamala-harris-stepdaughter-ella-emhoff-img">IMG Models</a> quickly jumped at the opportunity to sign Kaye in 2021, and his <a href="https://models.com/people/wisdom-kaye">modeling career</a> has taken off since. Over the last year, the creator walked the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/every-look-from-balmain-fall-winter-2022">Balmain</a> Spring/Summer 2022 show and starred in both a <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/coach-fall-winter-2022-polaroids-megan-thee-stallion-angus-cloud-noah-beck">Coach</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/boss-russell-athletic-collaborative-collection-basketball">Boss</a> campaign. Certainly, the best is yet to come for this rising star.
