Nara Smith is a popular German model turned breakout social media star best known for her ultra traditional TikTok vlogs and videos cooking meals for her family from scratch.
Smith was a moderately well-known model in the fashion industry, but her success online only began in 2023. After marrying Mormon model Lucky Blue Smith in 2020, Smith began posting family inspired content to the video sharing social media platform TikTok. Fans quickly latched on to her specific editing style, which showed Smith garbed in fashion-forward, cocktail and black tie attire while making food from scratch. Some of her most popular videos show her making boba, gum, bread, even cereal, entirely on her own. She has over 9 million followers on TikTok and has been featured in Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar.
Smith’s popularity is often linked to the rise of tradwife content. Tradwives, as they’re mostly referred to in digital spaces, refer to women who espouse and romanticize their participating in traditional gender roles, like homemaking, cooking, and mothering. While both the phrase and content have gained popularity in recent years, Smith has pushed back against the idea that she is using social media to proselytize either her Mormon faith or a specific idea of what women should do in the home. — C.T.
