But Wisdom Kaye’s walk up the famous steps in 2024, wearing a fiery red Robert Wun ensemble, felt like a win for his followers and fellow fashion content creators. He acknowledged as much on X: “We made it, not I but we.” When Kaye started posting on TikTok in January 2020, he was a Houston-based, fashion-obsessed college student sharing his outfits. As his following expanded, so did the scope of his content: he began doling out fashion tips and taking on challenges like reinterpreting a celebrity’s style on a budget and creating innovative looks inspired by pop culture. Within months, [_Vogue_](https://www.vogue.com/article/wisdom-kaye-tik-tok-fashion-interview "undefined") crowned him “the best-dressed guy” on the platform. In the years since his first post, Kaye, now 24, graduated from imagining what he would wear to different designers’ fashion shows to being invited to sit front row. He’s not only grown his platform—including close to 14 million followers on TikTok and 7.5 million on Instagram—he’s added more hyphenates to his resume: as a model signed to IMG, as well as a stylist and creative director. What hasn’t changed, though, is his palpable enthusiasm and genuine love for the work—which makes his output, both online and IRL, all the more compelling. _Data and insights powered by #paid_ Wisdom Kaye Is on the 2025 TIME100 Creators List ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Article","@id":"https://time.com/collections/time100-creators-2025/7299183/wisdom-kaye/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/collections/time100-creators-2025/7299183/wisdom-kaye/"},"headline":"Wisdom Kaye","datePublished":"2025-07-09T11:27:06.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-03T00:50:38.700Z","description":"","url":"https://time.com/collections/time100-creators-2025/7299183/wisdom-kaye/","keywords":["Social Media","list","franchise","Magazine","Special Project","sponsorshipblock","Accolades"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt18c9798140a0b7c5/6998c81ba97fc0c719a7481a/TIME100-Creators-2025-Wisdom-Kaye-038.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Staff","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-staff/"}],"creator":"TIME Staff","articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt18c9798140a0b7c5/6998c81ba97fc0c719a7481a/TIME100-Creators-2025-Wisdom-Kaye-038.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/collections/time100-creators-2025/7299183/wisdom-kaye/","name":"Wisdom Kaye"}}]}] ```
