Bueckers has been exploring her style since she was a child (and her many fans have been paying rapt attention in the process). In an interview with Highsnobiety published July 11, she said, “My style is a mix of feminine and masculine.” She’s willing to mix it up with both body-hugging silhouettes that show some skin, as well as baggy clothes that are max comfort (but still stylish).

She shared an Instagram carousel of the fashionable shoot with the outlet on Instagram, writing in the caption, “Helloooo fashion world 👋🏼 So blessed and grateful to @HighSnobiety for this opportunity to share a little bit of my story through a new fashion statement.”
