Club Penguin, the massively multiplayer online game (MMO) created by New Horizon Interactive in 2005, has the most clockable and fast-changing style trend you can ever imagine. If you were a cool penguin — that is, if your penguin avatar was clockably cool to other players — it meant you were on-trend. It didn’t make any difference whether you wore a clown hat with a tuxedo or a viking helmet with blue sneakers to hang out at the Pizza Parlor.

The 26-year-old model — who, since being discovered in 2017, has risen fashion's ranks to become a next-gen "Super" — started wearing perfume in middle school. Her love for scent has only grown: "I wear fragrance to go to sleep," she tells Highsnobiety. "I love doing aromatherapy... I never leave my house without a perfume bottle in my bag." Given her olfactive obsession, it's only fitting that Yai has landed a major fragrance campaign: Last month, she became the face of Mugler's latest Alien perfume, Hypersense. Ahead, we chat with the star about her love for Grace Jones and Bette Davis, heated eyelash curlers, and whether she thinks extraterrestrial life exists.
