Life and career

Aliyah Bah was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia to Sierra Leonean immigrant parents, who opened a clothing recycling business upon moving to the United States.[2] Her mother, Zainab Kadie Bah, also worked at a hair salon.[3] Bah began thrift shopping at age 15 and was bullied for her clothing style in high school.[4]

While a freshman at Georgia State University, Bah began posting GRWM videos on TikTok in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] She became known on the platform for her maximalist,[5] "cute-but-tough"[3] style inspired by Harajuku fashion and Y2K fashion,[6] consisting primarily of pink items, Hello Kitty memorabilia, belts, fur, boots, garters, leg warmers, earmuffs, miniskirts, necklaces, and fishnets, which she dubbed "AliyahCore" in late 2022.[2][7][8][9][1] Her tweet featuring a picture of her wearing a bikini and Moon Boots together also went viral in November 2022.[1][10] By November 2023, the hashtag #Aliyahcore had over 400 million views on TikTok.

As a model, Bah made her runway debut at Mowalola's Autumn/Winter 2023 show during London Fashion Week in February 2023 and later walked the runway at Dominnico's Autumn/Winter 2023 show in May 2023 for Barcelona Fashion Week.[3][11] In September 2023, she appeared in the music video for Doja Cat's song "Agora Hills".[12] Also that month, she self-released her debut single, "It Girl". The song quickly went viral on TikTok, where the song a sped-up version of it soundtracked more than 912,000 videos on the platform by November 2023.[13][6]

Personal life

Bah has referred to Grace Jones and Vivienne Westwood as her biggest style icons.[2] She has also named Issa Rae and Keke Palmer as influences.[9] As of 2023, Bah lives in New York City.[1]
