Nancy Tyagi is a fashion influencer hailing from Baranwa village in Uttar Pradesh’s Baghpat district. She shifted to Delhi to prepare for UPSC along with her mother, who used to work in a factory to provide for them. The COVID-19 lockdown had put them in a financial crisis, and that’s when Nancy decided to help her mother out. She bought all the necessary items to start her journey in content creation.
Initially, she used to post content around her self-stitched clothes, but after that failed, she switched to making Meesho haul videos. After nothing worked, Nancy started a 100-day series called ‘Outfits from Scratch’, and this became a turning point in her life. Since then, Nancy has recreated several looks of popular Bollywood celebrities, including Alia Bhatt, Kiara Advani, Shilpa Shetty and more.
