Indy Clinton, a closer look at the influencer

Born on July 4, 1997, a 26-year-old Aussie influencer started her modeling career on Instagram in 2013. She had modeling and brand gigs at the age of 15.

Clinton posts various content for her Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok family. The model and social media sensation distinguishes herself by showcasing a blend of urban modeling shots and lifestyle content, capturing her diverse adventures across Australia.

Clinton became a TikTok star when her funny videos of raising two children went viral to her now 1.8 million followers. At the recent 2023 TikTok Awards, which was held at Sydney's Hordern Pavilion, Indy Clinton was crowned. While expecting her third child, Clinton flaunted the baby bump in a black halter neckline gown with a center-parted bun, leaving two wavy strands on her face.

After being announced as the winner of the Most Loved Influencer, the pregnant mother gave a speech thanking her fans, who voted. She revealed that she was worried about attending the event as her nerves might lead to premature delivery. Lastly, thanking her family, she said —

"Shout out to all of the other amazing nominees who create incredible content every day. Finally, thank you to my adorable kids, Navy and Bambi, and my hot husband for their support."

Clinton married Ben Azar in Palm Beach, Australia, on May 1, 2020. Keeping her hair and makeup minimal, the fashion influencer opted for a simple yet chic white traditional dress tailored by Becandbridge.

Indy Clinton humorously plays the contrast on her TikTok bio, suggesting her parenting challenges and conquering awards, "Sleep-deprived mum but also Tiktok creator of the year." Clinton is a mother to Navy, three, Bambi, one, and Soul, four months, to whom she welcomed a week after being crowned.
