Career

Mandi Vakili began her career as a makeup artist, working at Boots and later at Harvey Nichols for NARS Cosmetics. Her transition into social media influencing and modeling was initially fueled by her connection to her sister, Anna Vakili, a 2019 Love Island contestant.

However, Mandi quickly established her own presence, building a following of over 370,000 on Instagram and 150,000 on TikTok by sharing fashion advice, beauty content, and candid conversations about cosmetic procedures. Although she was originally set to join Love Island herself in 2019, she was cut by producers shortly before the show began.

In 2022, Mandi and Anna launched the podcast Sisters in the City, inspired by Sex and the City, where they discuss their experiences as Middle Eastern women navigating life in London.

New episodes are released every Friday, and the podcast’s popularity has led to sold-out live shows, further cementing Mandi‘s influence beyond the realm of social media. Through the podcast, she has built a deeper connection with her audience and broadened her visibility within the entertainment industry.

Mandi‘s career reached new heights in 2025 when she appeared on the second season of Netflix’s reality competition Inside, produced by the Sidemen. The show, which features influencers competing for a major cash prize through strategic challenges, provided Mandi with a prominent platform to showcase her individuality, ambition, and personality—distinct from her sister’s established fame.
