She is the face of brands like Zara, Abercrombie and Disney, she loves to read Harry Potter, and she’s besties with Kristina Pimenova – what more do you want to know?

You’ve most likely seen her face if you frequently visit the children’s clothing section of huge brands like Zara, Abercrombie and Disney, among many others. Or if you are a fan of Blackpink or follow The Black Label record label, you’ll know that Ella has been signed for almost two years now.

Yes, she is destined for K-pop stardom

It was announced in July 2018 that The Black Label’s Teddy had signed Ella. “She has a special voice that is completely capable for being a singer, as well,” Teddy said. She already has 3.8 million followers on Instagram and we can only imagine how this will grow more as she continues to conquer catwalks, print ads, and the K-pop world very soon. Not only that, but Ella is also said to have the face of a young Song Hye-kyo. Some argue, though, that she is more like Jennie of Blackpink.

She is besties with Kristina Pimenova

You must be living under a rock if you haven’t heard of Kristina Pimenova. She was hailed the most beautiful girl in the world, a title that probably won’t leave her any time soon. Ella and Kristina have been together in several shoots; no wonder the two of them developed a special bond with each other.

Her mum is Korean and her father is American

She also has a younger brother, named Romeo, and they were born and are being raised in America.
