In the Glamour feature, Love Island USA breakout star Olandria Carthen opens up about how her Southern upbringing in Alabama shaped her glamorous yet expressive fashion sense, explaining that she gravitates toward clean, sophisticated looks with defined silhouettes and statement pieces that balance elegance with self‑expression; she has brought that aesthetic to major red carpets like the Glamour Women of the Year Awards and recent fashion weeks, and fully embraced her fan‑given nickname “Bama Barbie” as part of her style identity that celebrates possibility and confidence.
