Total cringe! I have a rule: I will never be a fan of any public figure with over 1 million followers on any social media brand.

Whichever your stans is (or are), shapewear is here to stay. That is why Ellie did […]
Read MoreEllie The Empress is a resourceful YouTuber and content creator when exploring outfits attires and even those that are a bit too uncomfortable ( read revealing). There is much to put at stake when picking an outfit. As far as I can tell, the first is investing money in something you won't end up liking, and the second is the confidence that comes with putting on that risky attire. As an entertainer and fashion enthusiast, Ellie does not shy off from taking her fans through some of these outfits. One that I want to speak of is her Fashion Nova black Friday Swimsuit haul. See More: Ellie The Empress Exclusive Content First off, when it comes to picking the right swimsuit, there are a lot of rules and boxes that need to be checked: the right color, the right amount of skin to show, the body type, and so on.
