‘Charles & Keith girl’ Zoe Gabriel now creating content for budget carrier AirAsia

1 week ago 42

From Charles & Keith, “bag girl” Zoe Gabriel – who sparked a spirited debate over what “luxury” truly means – is now doing collaborative work with budget carrier AirAsia.

In one 10-second video posted on Air Asia’s TikTok page, the 17-year-old is seen wearing an AirAsia cabin attendant’s uniform as she dances to Boys A Liar Pt 2 by PinkParenthese and Ice Spice.

The video, which appears to have been filmed on a rooftop, was posted on Friday and has already been viewed over 740,000 times.

In another TikTok video, Zoe is inside the cabin of an AirAsia plane, also dancing, this time to a sped-up version of Taylor Swift’s I Think He Knows, with a flight crew of five providing a best-effort, albeit awkward, backup.

That one has racked up at over 67,000 views so far.

Zoe’s rise to online fame came after she was ridiculed by social media trolls when, in a TikTok video, she shared her excitement over a bag made by Singapore brand Charles & Keith.

The hate came after she described the bag as “luxury”.

In response, Zoe came up with another video calling out the snobbery, as she narrated the hard life she and her family, originally from the Philippines, has had to go through as they try to make a life in Singapore.

She said in that video that the bag may not seem like a luxury item to some, but it was for her because her father put in a lot of hard work and did a lot of saving just to get it for her as a birthday gift.

Her father, a mechanical engineer, moved to Singapore in 2009. Zoe and her mother, brother and two sisters followed him a year later, and they have since settled in Yishun.
