Now amassing over 900,000 followers across YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram, alongside a further 160,000 on her shared platform @onellaandryan, Onella has built a loyal and highly engaged audience drawn to her viral lifestyle content, beauty and fashion, and confidence-led approach to self-expression.

She has fronted campaigns for leading brands, including Sportsgirl and MECCA, collaborated with Rimmel London at the 2026 Formula 1, and walked in both Melbourne Fashion Week and Australian Fashion Week. Her runway portfolio also includes The ICONIC’s groundbreaking Runway X in collaboration with Meta, as well as L’Oréal’s ‘I’m Worth It’ runway.

Onella’s influence extends across major media, with features in Vogue, Gritty Pretty, Body+Soul, The Sydney Morning Herald, and The Age, alongside television appearances on Channel 10’s Studio 10 and Channel 9’s House of Wellness.

As a 2026 bride, Onella shares relatable content across wedding planning, home renovation journeys, beauty routines, and curvy fashion inspiration. Alongside the plethora of events she attends within the Australian Creator industry.
