Molly-Mae Hague opens up about success

Molly-Mae Hague looks unrecognisable in a selection of unseen modelling snaps as she kicked off her career as an influencer.

The 22-year-old UK influencer shot to fame on the fifth series of Love Island in 2019.

Before her stint on the reality show, Molly made a name for herself on social media by sharing her life on YouTube and Instagram, The Sun reports.

This week the reality star shared a number of snaps from her archive – and she looks totally different.

In one snap she showed off her stylish outfit in a shop changing room.

The star rocked a white sleeveless top, black skinny jeans and some snakeskin boots.

Molly styled her blonde locks into a slick ponytail and accessorised with sunglasses and a smart black bag.

In another she posed for a photo outside a coffee shop in a fluffy cream jumper and blue ripped jeans.

Molly captioned the post: “No one talk to me,” with lots of laughing emojis.

She also poked fun at her fashion choices.

In another she wore silver pumps and said: “What the hell are those tin man energy.”

Molly also pointed out that her toes were “basically touching the concrete” in another fresh-faced pic.

The star also reminisced on her first sponsored ad on Instagram.

She told fans: “This was the first I was ever paid by a brand to promote. I was 16! I got paid £25 ($A45) for a post.”

That is a stark contrast to what the star can earn now.

Molly and boyfriend Tommy have over 10 million followers between them – which puts them in good stead for major lucrative deals.

And in 2020, it was revealed that the couple could earn up to £20,000 ($A35,000), each on a post, according to ManySpins.com.

Since placing second alongside Tyson Fury’s brother on the show, Molly’s career has reached new heights after signing numerous brand deals and launching her own fake-tan brand.

Then in August 2021, Molly – who is thought to be worth around £2 million ($A3.5 million) – announced she had been named the new creative director of PrettyLittleThing.

The title is said to hold an impressive seven-figure salary.
