It’s often said that life can change in an instant and in the case of the ‘red bikini woman’, it turned out to just be 13 seconds.
But for the 20-year-old, who has been seen all over social media in the past few days after being captured at a foam party in Spain, it seems as if it’s going to be far more than 15 minutes, or 13 seconds, of fame.
Much like other viral superstars such as Hailey Welch (the Hawk Tuah girl), and the Ibiza Final Boss, a life-changing amount of money can easily be within the grasp of French DJ Océane (@aora.dj) if she plays her cards right.
Experts have suggested that she could easily make hundreds of thousands from her new-found fame and it seems as if the wheels are already in motion after she spoke to LADbible about what’s happened since the video first took off.
She said: “Honestly, I just want to take the time to explore the opportunities that are coming my way. I recently signed with a team that will help guide me, because this is all completely new to me and I knew nothing about social media before all of this. I’m really excited to start this journey with them.”
Considering some of the vulgar comments she’s been subjected to, and the nature of her viral video, it perhaps would have been understandable if Océane had gone down the path of starting an OnlyFans on the back of her new celebrity status.
However, she made it clear that she wants to stick with her dream of performing across the world as a DJ.
She added: “My goal isn’t to take advantage of this buzz by joining platforms like OnlyFans. I completely respect the women who choose that path, but it’s not the dir†ection I want to take. I believe I have other things to offer.
“My biggest dream is to become a DJ and perform all over the world. I also know I need to work hard because I want to earn my place. A viral video can open doors, but hard work is what builds a real career.”
Océane also confirmed that her outfit of choice has landed her some offers from ‘fashion and swimwear brands’, and admitted that she’d be open to collaborating with a swimwear brand in the future if the ‘right opportunity comes along’.
She added: “I’ve received a lot of offers in a very short period of time. But I’m trying to stay grounded. I know how quickly things can change on social media, so I’m taking my time. I trust the team around me to help choose the right projects that make sense for the long term.”
Dealing with fame can also be a struggle sometimes but Océane admitted that she isn’t concerned about being recognised in the street, saying she’s still enjoying the experience at this stage.
She said: “If I had been worried about that, I simply wouldn’t have allowed the video to be posted in the first place. I knew this could be one of the consequences. Honestly, I find it quite funny. I’m only 20 years old, so I’m just enjoying the experience and taking it all in stride.
“I still can’t quite believe everything that’s happening. But I’m really happy because this all happened while I was simply being myself. I wasn’t wearing any makeup—I was just enjoying my vacation with my friends.
“In a way, it’s also given me more confidence. It showed me that people can appreciate you for who you really are, without filters or pretending to be someone else. That’s probably the most meaningful part of this whole experience for me.”
As long as she doesn’t treat her new fans to a crypto currency, she’ll be doing alright.
