MODEL and social media star Mimi Elashiry might be travelling the world updating her 900,000 followers daily, but she still hasn’t quite got her head around the fact she’s a bona fide “Insta celeb”.
The 22-year-old went from posting pictures of “trees and chandeliers and random things” to landing gigs as the face of brands like Roxy, the latest company to sign her as an ambassador.
