Out of the 1.04 billion users on TikTok, only a few have got the privilege of gaining influencer status. Among them, just 1% have more than 500,000 followers.
This includes the likes of Khaby Lame and MrBeast, who have amassed a massive fan base for their content on the platform.
But there are equally popular female influencers creating epic video content that has won the hearts of millions of users. Some have already established a name for themselves, while others are rising in popularity and on their way to stardom.
If you regularly spend time on TikTok, here are five hot female personalities you don’t want to miss in 2025.
1. Madison Humphrey

25-year-old Madison Humphrey started working on her TikTok channel post-COVID and now has over 2.6 million followers.
Her content takes a funny twist with POV (point-of-view) skits based on popular roles in dramas and movies as well as everyday familiar characters, like the typical school mom, nurse, and leasing manager.
Madison’s content is simple, easy to digest, and, importantly, relatable. Her slightly exaggerated takes mixed with humor have been a huge hit with her fans, allowing her to grow her follower base within a relatively short time.
But before her TikTok fame, Madison worked as a reporter after studying Broadcast Journalism at the University of North Texas.
Today, she is a full-time content creator and also works as an actress and model.
2. Monet McMichael
TikTok Handle: @monetmcmichael
The TikTok sensation Monet McMichael creates makeup and lifestyle content for her 3.8 million followers on the platform.
Since going viral, she has appeared on Cosmopolitan, Teen Vogue, and similar publications and was featured in Forbes’ Top Creators and 30 Under 30 – Social Media lists, too.
Her “Get Ready With Me” (GRWM) content, in particular, has been super popular among her fans. But it is her chattiness, contagious energy, and candor on camera that have made her followers call her their bestie.
The glam girl has always loved fashion and beauty from a young age and started her content-creation journey on YouTube when she was only 12. But those early videos mainly focused on her struggles and insecurities, and later journaled her daily events as she went to nursing school.
In 2021, Monet shifted to what she loves the most — fashion, beauty, and lifestyle. This has opened up so many opportunities (from major brand deals to her debut at the Paris Fashion Week) for the 24-year-old.
3. Charli D’Amelio

With 157.3 million fans, Charli D’Amelio has the second-largest follower base on TikTok (closely following Khaby Lame) and the largest among female influencers.
A competitive dancer for years, Charli began posting dance videos on TikTok in 2019, which quickly became popular, gaining millions of fans.
From there onward, her sassy and flawless moves were imitated by many and even led to dance challenges.
Within just a few years, TikTok has changed Charli’s life forever. She became the first to gain 50 million and 100 million followers on the site, and when she was 18, Charli became the highest-earning influencer on the platform.
Her off-TikTok achievements are just as phenomenal. The 20-year-old social media celebrity has launched her own shoe line (D’Amelio Footwear), starred in reality series (The D’Amelio Show and Charli vs. Dixie), and made her Broadway debut in the musical & Juliet, to name a few.
4. Bella Poarch
TikTok Handle: @bellapoarch
Bella Poarch’s comedic lip-syncing shot her to instant stardom on TikTok, making her the fourth most popular influencer on the platform based on the number of followers.
Her lip-syncing video to Millie B’s M to the B, which was uploaded just a few months after starting her TikTok channel, was undoubtedly the turning point in her social media career. It became the most-liked video on the platform, gaining over 62 million likes and 750 million views as of date.
With each of her video content, Bella makes sure she doesn’t disappoint her 94.1 million fans. Her material is quirky, silly, comedic, and sometimes satirical and is a far cry from the typical self-conscious and self-indulging content you would find on TikTok.
Bella’s fame on social media has won her a record deal with Warner Records, too. In 2021, she released her first single Build a Bitch and then went on to release her extended play Dolls in 2022.
5. Drew Afualo
TikTok Handle: @drewafualo
Drew Afualo is bold, daring, and outspoken in her commentaries, especially with those involving women’s advocacy, which has earned her a fan base of 8.2 million on TikTok.

The queen of the roasts has taken feminist advocacy to other mediums as well. These include her podcast The Comment Section with Drew Afualo, which was signed by Spotify in 2023 to run exclusively on its platform.
“Hate doesn’t bother me because I know exactly who I am. Somebody who contributes nothing to my life, literally at all […] their words are even more worthless to me,” she once told Teen Vogue in an interview.
