Vintage Vibes

Addison, who has been making headlines since gaining popularity on the video-sharing app, looked incredibly beautiful in a black number. The dress featured a strapless design that showcased her toned arms and shoulders. From what was visible, the garment's opaque fabric reached her thighs. A sheer trail was attached from the hem, and it flowed until her lower legs. The media personality completed her look with a pair of black pumps.

Addison rocked a short, blonde wig for the occasion as she channeled Betty Elms, the perky blonde actress from the 2001 thriller Mulholland Drive. The internet sensation wore nude lipstick, a light dusting of blush, well-defined brows, and eyeshadow in earth tones. Her nails were painted in a striking red color that looked fabulous against the dark-colored dress.

Her Best Shoot Yet

In the first photo, Addison sat in a squatting position on a wooden chair. She was in a dimly lit room, and behind her was a vintage-looking table with a silver lampshade on top. The model touched her knees as she tilted her head to the side while looking up. The following picture featured Addison kneeling on the chair and resting her head on the cushioned backrest. She touched her left arm as she looked straight into the camera lens with her lips parted.

In the last snapshot, Addison posed on the writing desk. She lay on her back while placing her left hand on her head and clutching the telephone with her other hand. The influencer offered a distressed expression as she channeled her character.
