From Christian Cowan’s NYFW show to Lady Gaga’s Joker: Folie à Deux premiere, Aliia Roza gets around – so what do we know about the woman who claims she fled Russia after falling for a drug dealer?

If you haven’t yet noticed Aliia Roza’s ubiquity in the worlds of fashion, art and film, rest assured that she’s coming to a red carpet near you very soon.

In February, she could be seen schmoozing at New York Fashion Week, turning heads in an all black outfit for Christian Cowan’s show. That appearance came just days after she’d been honoured by celebrity painter Rob Prior in Miami. And at the end of last year, she made a striking entrance during the Venice Film Festival premiere of Joker: Folie à Deux alongside Lady Gaga in a sparkling gown by Vietnamese designer Do Long.

If you’re wondering who she is, then you’re not alone – but her backstory is as intriguing as it gets.
