Lexee Smith, the dancer spotted alongside Janet Jackson and Billie Eilish
At just 24, dancer and choreographer Lexee Smith is behind the success of many music stars. Yet, her name is still barely known outside the United States. Born in Texas in 2001, she moved to Los Angeles at the age of 12 with one dream, to become famous.
With her doll-like face, the teenager made her stage debut alongside Janet Jackson, then moved on to a series of artistic collaborations, each one crazier than the last. A member of the FKA Twigs troupe, she can be spotted in the 2019 music video Holy Terrain. Lexee Smith also got noticed by singer Billie Eilish, who chose her to star in the music video for Lost Cause, released in 2021.
As if that wasn’t enough, the young dancer has also drawn attention on social media, where she is posting plenty of videos of her performing in a studio, in her bedroom or on a deserted road. Wild, pop, weird, she fully embraces the feline sensuality that has made her one of the trendiest dancers right now.
Collaborations with Addison Rae, Lady Gaga and FKA Twigs
Lexee Smith literally got the music world under her thumb in just a few years, including the iconic Lady Gaga, who invited her to join her in her raging music video for Disease, in which she danced a duet with the superstar.
The artist’s career was above all marked by an unexpected encounter with Addison Rae at a party on the hills of Los Angeles. It was love at first sight between the pop star and the
dancer, who are now inseparable, both privately and professionally.
Diet Pepsi, Aquamarine, and most recently High Fashion, Lexee Smith has officially been appointed “movement director” of her friend’s videos. Smashing everything in their wake, the
fantastic duo never ceases to surprise and amaze us – and it’s just the beginning!
A style that follows in the footsteps of the indie sleaze trend
Dancing isn’t the only pursuit in Lexee Smith’s life. As a fashion enthusiast from an early age, she has built up a style of her own over the years – that of a slightly provocative pin-up,whose looks partly draws from the indie sleaze trend, even if she cites Marilyn Monroe and Dita von Teese as her major influences.
Micro denim shorts, candy pink pumps, Betty Boop-inspired fishnet stockings, gaiters, bodysuits, tight red leather perfecto… Lexee Smith unveils a wardrobe at the crossroads
between rock’n’roll and ultra glamorous balletcore, with strong 2000s and 2010s vibes.
In addition to numerous collaborations with clothing brands such as Knorts, the young woman is also sought-after by magazines for photo shoots and is close to the big names in
fashion. A case in point is her participation as choreographer in Kim Kardashian’s video for Santa Baby (2024), directed by the famous photographer Nadia Lee Cohen. In short, she’s
someone to keep an eye on…
