Essentially, she just changed her mindset. Anna Bey wasn’t born with a silver spoon in her mouth, but her story also isn’t the rags-to-riches kind either. Honestly, she started off pretty average. Anna was born into a strict middle-class family in Stockholm, Sweden. Her sheltered, conservative upbringing led her to lash out a bit in her twenties, when her focus switched from doing well in school to traveling the world and partying. 

After bouncing around the globe for a few years, Anna landed a job as a nightclub go-go dancer in the world-renowned party city of Ibiza, Spain. During her time in Ibiza, Anna was immersed in a culture of extravagance and luxury when a fateful encounter with an ultra-famous socialite changed her view of the elite. 

How Paris Hilton Changed Anna’s Life

One night, while Anna was partying the night away on a wealthy friend’s yacht, she became incredibly seasick. Paris Hilton happened to be in attendance and grew concerned when she saw how sick Anna was. She offered to help Anna in any way she could, bringing Anna water and anything else she needed. Paris’s kindness struck Anna: “This interaction helped to undo my negative preconceptions about the elite and my fears that others would see me in a bad light if I joined them.” Anna also learned an important lesson: elegance isn’t just a reflection of your bank account balance, it’s a reflection of how you see yourself.

Suddenly, the beaches and nightclubs of Ibiza transformed into Anna’s classroom as she studied the elite jet-setting crowd. You can read Anna’s very, very lengthy autobiographical essay on her website, but suffice it to say: she learned how to walk the elite walk and now she’s teaching other ladies how to do it too. 

Anna firmly believes “that all women from any background can transform their lives and opportunities by elevating their mindset, personal presentation and strategizing on reaching individual goals and aspirations” (i.e. levelling up). Anna embodies the phrase “dress for the job you want, not the job you have” and has now harnessed the powers and influence of social media to teach millions of ladies that they too can become elegant by merely acting elegant. 

So. How exactly does Anna Bey recommend that you transform yourself from a grungy potato sack into an elegant goddess? I’m so glad you asked. Let’s dive in…
