Gabbriette

Gabbriette, born Gabriella Leigh Bechtel on July 28, 1997, is an American model and musician who has carved out a distinct space in fashion and music. She first made her mark as the lead vocalist and songwriter of the punk rock band Nasty Cherry, a group formed by Charli XCX. After the band's hiatus, Gabbriette shifted her focus to modeling, where her gothic, indie sleaze aesthetic quickly caught the industry's attention. She has been labeled an "it girl" by multiple outlets and is credited with spearheading the "Succubus Chic" trend, a dark, femme-fatale look that blends 2000s nostalgia with punk edge.

On Instagram, she posts cooking videos alongside high-fashion editorial shots, striking a balance between relatable home cook and runway provocateur. Her fanbase, drawn to her unapologetically edgy persona, has grown to over 1.4 million followers. In 2024, Charli XCX name-dropped her on the track "360" from the album Brat, cementing her place in pop culture. Gabbriette also appeared in the 2025 horror film I Know What You Did Last Summer, expanding her reach into acting. [edit]

Growing up in Orange County, Gabbriette felt like an outsider. She told British Vogue that most of her classmates were "beautiful, strictly white blonde girls," and as a Hispanic girl, she endured racist taunts. She learned to laugh it off, but those years shaped her resilience. Instead of hitting the beach, she spent her time in the dance theater, convinced she would become a professional ballerina. She trained seriously in ballet, and that discipline later informed her physicality as a model.

Her family placed a strong emphasis on cooking. Her Mexican mother and Swiss-German father were always experimenting in the kitchen, with copies of Bon Appétit lying around. That environment sparked a love for food that would later define her online persona. In her last year of high school, she started modeling, landing an American Apparel ad. She told her parents she would not attend college because she was going to be a model. After moving to Los Angeles, she danced in music videos for Blood Orange on MTV before transitioning into modeling. She worked at The Break, a Brooklyn vintage store, to fund test shoots, describing herself as "an unpaid, hard-working model for a very long time." [edit]

Gabbriette's breakthrough came in 2018 when she landed Rihanna's inaugural Savage X Fenty campaign, shot by Tyrone Lebon. Her father flew from California to see her billboard in Times Square. That same year, Charli XCX recruited her to front the punk band Nasty Cherry, which was documented in the Netflix series I'm With the Band in 2019. The band released an EP and several singles before disbanding in 2021.

After Nasty Cherry, Gabbriette focused on modeling. She walked runways for Diesel, Fendi, Off-White, Jean Paul Gaultier, and Alexander Wang, where she famously crushed sugar glass in her hands. Her campaign credits include Marc Jacobs, Bottega Veneta, Heaven By Marc Jacobs, Skims, and Nike. She has appeared on covers of CR Fashion Book, Hommegirls, Purple Magazine, L'Officiel Italia, Document Journal, and Lampoon. In 2024, Charli XCX name-dropped her on the track "360" from the album Brat, with the lyric "Call me Gabbriette, you're so inspired." Charli sought her approval before releasing the song. Gabbriette also appeared in the 2025 horror film I Know What You Did Last Summer. [edit]

Gabbriette's public persona is built on a gothic, indie sleaze aesthetic: heavy eyeliner, dark lips, shaved brows, and a rebellious attitude. She is at the forefront of the "Succubus Chic" trend, a dark, femme-fatale look that blends 2000s nostalgia with punk edge. Media outlets have called her an "it girl" and an "iconoclastic American model and Instagram chef." On social media, she posts a mix of high-fashion editorials and cooking videos, presenting herself as both a runway provocateur and a relatable home cook. Her tone is direct and confident, and she engages with fans through candid posts about her life and style. No official fandom name has emerged, but her followers are drawn to her unapologetically edgy and authentic presence. [edit]

Gabbriette's fanbase is a digitally native, visually oriented collective that rallies around her gothic, punk-inflected aesthetic rather than any formal organizational structure. With approximately two million Instagram followers and over 820,000 TikTok followers, her audience engages primarily through likes, comments, and shares, an Instagram post from June 2026 alone drew 371,500 likes. There is no documented fandom name; fans are simply referred to as Gabbriette fans, and no coordinated campaigns or rituals have been recorded. Her influence is most visible in fashion media, where her style choices, from a deliberately destroyed wedding dress to vintage John Galliano shoes, generate immediate commentary and trend coverage.

As of August 2026, iFANN's Global Fame Engine has evaluated Gabbriette, but she does not currently hold a placement in the published rankings. She is not listed among the Global Top 1,000 most famous people, nor does she appear in any Top-100 scope list. This absence of a formal ranking underscores the diffuse yet potent nature of her fame, driven by aesthetic impact and high-profile personal moments rather than conventional celebrity metrics. While her cultural footprint is undeniable, her standing in the global fame hierarchy remains unranked, a status that may shift as her career continues to evolve.[edit]

Gabbriette shaves her eyebrows for her signature look and does not have them after washing off her makeup. Her go-to lip liner is Mac Cosmetics in Stone. She has a pet rat named Splinter. One tattoo she regrets is a design modeled on a The Cramps poster. Her tattoos were inspired by artist and model Jane Moseley. She styles herself as a 'modern-day Anna Karina.' She co-founded the magazine MEATY. During lockdown, she started filming herself cooking to stave off boredom.

Her July 2026 wedding to Matty Healy at Madonna's former Los Angeles estate became a defining cultural moment. She wore a deliberately destroyed wedding dress by Matières Fécales, a break from bridal tradition that was widely covered. She later posted 139 wedding photos on Instagram, an unusually exhaustive documentation that itself became a talking point. Her post-wedding fashion, including vintage John Galliano shoes, extended the moment's footprint.[edit]

Gabbriette was born to Gary Bechtel, who is Swiss-German, and Chayo Bechtel, who is Mexican. She has one sister. Her parents encouraged her to find a passion early on; her mother would always put a twist on recipes, and her father loved grilling and making sauerkraut. Those cooking traditions shaped Gabbriette's own love of food. As of 2026, she is engaged to Matty Healy and lives with him. She has a pet rat named Splinter. [edit]

Gabbriette is closely associated with Charli XCX, who formed Nasty Cherry and name-dropped her on the track "360." She is engaged to Matty Healy, lead vocalist of The 1975. Her Nasty Cherry bandmates included Chloe Chaidez, Georgia Somary, and Deborah Knox-Hewson. She danced in music videos for Dev Hynes (Blood Orange). Photographer Tyrone Lebon shot her Savage X Fenty campaign. She cites models Paloma Elsesser and Alex Consani as opening up industry conversations. Artist Jane Moseley inspired her tattoos. [edit]

Gabbriette began dating English musician Matty Healy, lead vocalist of The 1975, in September 2023. They announced their engagement in June 2024. As of 2026, they remain engaged with no children reported. No other public relationships have been documented. [edit]

iFANN currently estimates Gabbriette's net worth at $2 million. Her income streams include modeling campaigns for Marc Jacobs, Bottega Veneta, Savage X Fenty, Skims, and Nike, as well as runway appearances for Diesel, Fendi, Off-White, Jean Paul Gaultier, and Alexander Wang. She also earned from her music career with Nasty Cherry, including singles, an EP, and the Netflix series I'm With the Band. Her acting role in I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025) added to her earnings. Brand collaborations, such as a phone case design with Wildflower Cases, and magazine covers provide additional revenue. Her net worth has grown steadily since her breakthrough in 2018.[edit]
