When IG first started out, it's mostly an app for photographers and casual posters.
Around the mid 2010's, the paradigm started to shift. More celebrities start to flock towards the platform. The focus being on being an influencer gained notoriety.
Cardi B's animated raw behavior along with hood colloquialisms birthed the modern "bad bytch" archetype.
The "Yasssss bytch Yasssss" Cardi birthed that
The "in your face cocky bravado" Cardi birthed that
The "random twerking outta nowhere" Cardi birthed that
Cardi B's caricature of being unapologetically silly humor is what IG models imitated to build a following.
Aaliyah's sex appeal and her edgy yet feminine style birthed the modern "IG baddie" look.
Aaliyah's style of using overusing layering pioneered the ultimate "toyboy look". The more layers, the more chic the look. This was has been imitated by IG models.
Aaliyah's usage of oversized wear such as camo remains a most-sought for today's celebs and IG models today
Aaliyah's signature style of wearing tinted sunglasses became the main added- accessory for the "cool girl" IG look
Starting from "One in a Million" Aaliyah started adopted figure-hugging textures such as leather for a more sultry-seductive looking. Leather/Latex is one of the highest sought fashion items for IG models thanks to brands such as Fashion Nova. IMO, this was one of Aaliyah's best fashion choices.
Aaliyah's iconic look from "Try Again" still remains a force in today's pop culture fashion. This look has been imitated by many including Kim Kardashian and Keke Palmer
Aaliyah's loyalty to Tommy Hilfiger remains a fashion influence today.

Aaliyah's exuded confidence and sensuality set the standards as the archetype most IG models look for.
The greatest flattery is the art of imitation
