Known for her goth aesthetic, Gabbriette has been called by several media outlets as an "It girl", [8] [9] and is at the forefront of what has been dubbed the "Succubus Chic" trend of 2023. [10] [11] [12] [13]
Gabbriette was born Gabriella Leigh Bechtel on July 28, 1997 in Orange County, California [14] to a Mexican mother and a Swiss-German father. [6] [15] Growing up, she recalled: "The majority of students at my high school were beautiful, strictly white blonde girls, and my sister and I were Hispanic. I was called some pretty awful things. But then I just learned to laugh at it." [6]
She credits her love for food and skills in the kitchen to her multicultural upbringing stating: "There were all these different cultures colliding in our house. They were really experimental and would always have copies of BonAppétit laid out. My mom would always be putting a twist on a recipe and my dad would be grilling something or making sauerkraut. Family meals were a big part of our life, we’d sit down together after school without our phones and talk about our day, and the cooking process was always a big part of that." [6]
After graduating from high school, Gabbriette moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in ballet. She then landed a job as a dancer for Blood Orange's music videos on MTV, [6] catching the attention of model scouts and eventually signed with a modeling agency. She has since starred in campaigns for Marc Jacobs, [16] Nike, [17] Savage X Fenty, [18] Bottega Veneta, [15] Agent Provocateur, [19] Juicy Couture, [8] and Betsy Johnson [20] to name a few. [21] [22] She has also walked the runway for Vera Wang, [23] Diesel, [20] and Dsquared2 [6] among others, and has featured in several editorials and magazine covers including for CR Fashion Book , [24] Dazed, [25] L'Officiel, [15] and Vogue. [26]
Gabbriette, who has previously photographed digital stories for V Magazine and Vogue.com, [27] had a photography exhibition in 2016 to launch her limited capsule collection with Junk Food Clothing. [28]
In 2018, Gabbriette was sought out by English pop singer Charli XCX, with whom she has worked before on a music video, to be the lead vocalist of punk rock band Nasty Cherry. [5] Since then, she has released three EPs with the band, and has also appeared in the Netflix documentary I'm with the Band: Nasty Cherry (2019). [14] [29]
Gabbriette is also recognized for her recipes and food content. [30] [9] She first started posting videos of herself cooking during the COVID-19 pandemic and has since curated menus for fashion brands. [31] [32] [33] [34] As of 2022, she is currently working on a cookbook. [6] [15]
In 2024, Gabbriette reunited with Charli XCX to feature in the video for her song "360". [35] [36] Gabbriette is also mentioned in the first verse of the song lyrics: "Call me Gabbriette, you’re so inspired". [37]
Influenced by female-led and created bands, Gabbriette grew up listening to Dido and Norah Jones, and has looked up to Suzi Quatro, and the Runaways, in particular, Joan Jett. She has also expressed admiration for Poison Ivy and Gwen Stefani. [38] [15]
In 2020, Gabbriette was in a relationship with model Levi Dylan, son of Jakob Dylan and grandson to Bob Dylan. [39] [40]
