Sophia Begg – better known as Sopha Dopha to her 2.2 million devoted social media followers – has somehow managed to launch her own fashion label (All For Mimi), hang out with Selena Gomez and had an A-list rapper slide into her DMs … all by the age of 21.

Here, the Aussie entrepreneur and social media star shares her go-to beauty essentials, explains her bizarre (yet brilliant) beauty hack, and spills the unexpected question rap icon Snoop Dogg once asked her.

WHO’S THE MOST RANDOM CELEBRITY IN YOUR DMS?

“Snoop Dogg. He said something along the lines of ‘I’m in London, what’s doing?’ and I was like, ‘Hey Snoopy, love you lots’ and he replied, ‘what are you doing?’.”

WHAT’S BEEN YOUR WEIRDEST FAN ENCOUNTER?

“This is actually crazy – I was on the freeway once and this person was tailgating me so bad. They come up next to me, leaning out the car, filming me, taking photos. I’m like, ‘this is so dangerous’. I’ve also had someone kiss me all over my face at a festival. I didn’t know it was coming. I was just standing there, so shocked.”
