About
Ashley Marie Dickerson is an American model, lifestyle creator, and rising actress who first captured attention for her bright, beach‑inspired photo shoots and upbeat fashion videos. Posting under @ashleymariedickerson, she has grown an Instagram community of more than 400 k followers who look to her for easy outfit ideas, behind‑the‑scenes glimpses of professional shoots, and the occasional spur‑of‑the‑moment travel diary. Brands have taken notice too: she is a FashionNova ambassador and is represented by Caroline Gleason Management, a Miami‑based agency known for placing fresh faces in major campaigns. Born on August 3, 1996, Ashley bridges social platforms and traditional media—she even snagged a credited appearance in the upcoming film adaptation of Uglies (2024), signaling a move beyond the phone screen and onto bigger sets.
Before Fame
Long before sponsored posts and red‑carpet fittings, Ashley reached for her phone mainly to share sand‑dusted snapshots with friends. In April 2017 she posted a simple photo taken on a Cape Town beach; the relaxed pose and golden light hinted at her knack for framing a scene. From there she uploaded steadily, experimenting with flat‑lays, street style, and “get ready with me” clips filmed in dorm‑room mirrors. That consistency, plus a warm, down‑to‑earth tone, helped her following snowball. By pairing relatable captions with magazine‑quality images, she stood out in a scroll of filtered perfection and carved out a niche that marries aspirational travel with everyday styling tips.
Trivia
- Stamp‑filled passport: Ashley has used her modeling schedule as a reason to explore, checking off Italy, Costa Rica, and South Africa in between jobs.
- Agency & brand ties: Alongside Caroline Gleason Management, she works with LIPPS and other boutique agencies, and she frequently appears in FashionNova’s global social pushes.
- On‑set learner: Landing the small role in Uglies made her fall in love with script reads and early call times; she often shares that the crew’s energy pushed her to take acting classes in Los Angeles.
- Fitness routine: A runner in high school, she still logs three to four miles most mornings, crediting the habit for her upbeat mood on long shoot days.
- Pet perks: Her mischievous miniature poodle has cameoed in several “day in my life” reels, stealing treats—and plenty of viewer hearts—in the process.
Family Life
Ashley was born and raised in the United States, growing up in a close‑knit household that encouraged travel and the arts. While she keeps parents and siblings off‑camera to respect their privacy, she occasionally shares snapshots from family hikes or backyard barbecues. Her long‑term boyfriend, whose name she has not publicly disclosed, pops up in soft‑focus travel photos and supportive “behind the scenes” clips, often acting as an impromptu photographer. Away from runways and filming locations, the couple enjoys low‑key weekends with their dog, trading glamorous venues for farmer’s‑market runs and lazy beach afternoons. That balance—high‑fashion one day, sweatpants and dog walks the next—helps Ashley stay grounded amid a fast‑moving industry.
