The famous 'red bikini girl' has come forward after she said the viral video of her 'changed my life completely'.
The short Instagram video quickly went viral after it showed a young woman wearing a red bikini and comically dancing during a foam party in Lloret de Mar, Spain.
Later identified as Océane, the 20-year-old French content creator rapidly became an overnight sensation. Better known online as Aora DJ, the 13-second clip quickly amassed over 100 million views on social media, making her one of the most famous people on the internet right now.
One viewer branded her as 'Planet Earth’s new crush' after she was seen dancing around a large group of revellers while water and foam was sprayed on her and the group.

She previously revealed that she had no idea she was being filmed when the video was first captured, as she opened up to Iconiq following the viral hit.
'No matter what they look like, it's important to be proud'
She refused to reveal whether she was in a relationship, answering simply: "I won't say more."
Instead, she reflected on how overwhelming the experience had been, and was struggling to process how far the video had spread worldwide.
She said: "Women who go on vacation, whoever they are, no matter what they look like, we are simply ourselves.
"We are women and we are free, that's super important."
But she's also had to deal with sme unsavoury responses to her video from men.
She went on: "The comments I get under my videos are mostly from men who make really, well, not very nice comments."
She said the comments 'hurt me a lot' at first, but now she doesn't let them get to her.
Océane explained how the experience had allowed her to take ownership of her body and image while supporting other women in feeling confident in themselves, despite the vulgar comments.
"I'm proud of it and [it lets me] show other women that no matter what they look like, it's important to be proud," she said.

'I was just being myself'
In the Instagram post, sharing the short clip again, she said that the 'simple' video had 'changed my life completely' and that she was 'truly moved' to receive the huge influx of messages.
She penned: "A simple video changed my life completely and made me go viral on social media.
"I think if it touched so many people, it’s because I was just being myself: spontaneous, natural, and with a desire to enjoy every moment.

'No fakes, just natural, smiling, and living my life the way I want'
"I am truly moved to receive your messages—which are growing in number—from all corners of the globe. I still find it hard to fully grasp everything that is happening to me.
"One thing for sure, I'll stay true to myself. No fireworks, no fakes, just natural, smiling, and living my life the way I want.
"Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support. The adventure has only just begun."
How much are viral stars Hawk Tuah Girl and Ibiza Final Boss worth now?
If you want an idea of what Océane could do with her new-found fame, here’s what happened to two of the biggest viral stars of recent years in the months after viral infamy.
Hawk Tuah girl (Haliey Welch) - $500,000

Welch, 24, from Tennessee, was suddenly everywhere after popping up in a Tim and Dee TV street interview in 2024.
When asked what makes a man ‘go crazy’ in bed, she said: “You gotta give ’em that ‘hawk tuah’ and spit on that thang!”
Since then, Welch - who previously worked in a bedspring factory - has done everything she can to capitalise on her viral fame: from merchandise to inking a deal with streaming platform Kick and launching a podcast called Talk Tuah.
She even cameoed in Glen Powell’s TV show Chad Powers and launched crypto coin $HAWK, which crashed hard and many of her fans accused of being a scam.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, she’s worth around $500k.
Ibiza Final Boss (Jack Kay) - £2 million

One dodgy haircut catapulted Kay, 26, from Newcastle into viral infamy after he was filmed at Wayne Lineker's O Beach Club in Ibiza last year.
Previously working in the construction industry, Kay has since signed a deal with fashion brand boohooMAN, appeared at Creamfields, starred in a Channel 4 documentary, reportedly made £60,000 from personal appearances, and released music in partnership with Carnao Beats.
In an unlikely twist, in June 2026 he stepped into the boxing ring with rapper and social media star Jordan McCann on the undercard for Tommy Fury vs Eddie Hall, with Kay coming out on top.
According to Metro, he’s now worth a cool £2 million.
