Alexis Ren first came into the spotlight after gaining a massive Instagram following, which now checks in at just over 13 million.
While the blonde stunner started off sharing posts of her tropical vacations (mostly with then-boyfriend Jay Alvarrez), her modeling gigs and snippets of her daily life, she has now become a household name for a variety of other reasons.

The former ballerina has since gone on to tackle a number of notable accomplishments. From gracing Maxim’s cover to designing her own activewear line and creating her own Youtube channel to being named a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue Rookie just last year, the 22-year-old doesn’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon.
Most recently, Ren competed on season 27 of ABC’s ‘Dancing with the Stars’ where her fanbase grew and grew. She was partnered up with professional dancer Alan Bernstein, who she dated for a short time. The popular duo came in fourth place.
From fashion week runways to red carpets and TV stages, Ren’s style has definitely changed over the years, but it seems like a few things — midriff-baring tops, athleisure-inspired looks as well as black and red outfits — will always have a place amongst her style staples. Scroll through the gallery above to see Alexis Ren’s complete style transformation.
