Get Ready in Minutes with Ivana Alawi’s Powerful, Sexy OOTDs Inspired by the Infinix NOTE 40 Pro+ 5G

Our everyday style is often inspired by many things around us. It can be your mood for the day, that one #StyleTok video that matches your vibe, or the fashionable celebrities you follow. One personality whose style never disappoints is YouTube vlogger and actress Ivana Alawi.

Whether she’s chilling at home or attending a red carpet event, Ivana knows how to dress to impress, and she shows them off in her YouTube vlogs and selfies. She now snaps her OOTDs with the new Infinix NOTE 40 Pro+ 5G with 100W Fast Charge + 20W Wireless Charge, which also comes in stylish Vintage Green and Obsidian Black colorways that match her casual and elegant looks. “It’s very important for me to have a camera everywhere I go kasi pwede ako mag-shoot ng OOTDs and vlogs ko,” says Ivana.

Here are some style inspos from Ivana for your next outfit: 

It’s giving girlboss

Are you looking for an outfit that screams “powerful” for an important work meeting or event? Take notes from Ivana’s purple coords, which exudes girlboss and also makes you stand out without being too over the top. If you’re looking for a more neutral option, you can also pull out a neutral blazer and pencil skirt like Ivana.

Plus, with the Infinix NOTE 40 Pro+ 5G, you can get work done on your phone without worrying about your battery running out. Its 100W Fast Charge + 20W Wireless Charge also ensures you’re fully charged in less than 30 minutes, while the Dimensity 7020 5G Chipset provides smooth performance, so you can continue tasks ASAP. 

Cozy in casual wear

You can never go wrong with cozy casual wear. On regular days, Ivana likes to dress down in her denim shorts and tank top. She loves being comfortable at home while watching and shooting content using the Infinix NOTE 40 Pro+ 5G with up to 24GB Extended RAM for spacious storage. Even if she’s still working and taking online meetings at home, comfort is still key. 

So, if you’re looking for a chill, low-effort look, don’t be afraid to wear your favorite oversized tee and jeans or shorts. On warmer days, a tank top is the way to go. 

 Evening wear fit for a star

If you’re attending a formal event, Ivana is a great peg for your cocktail dress or long gown needs. For her, it’s important to find a piece that perfectly shows off her natural curves, like the NOTE 40 Pro+ 5G’s 3D-Curved 120Hz AMOLED Display with Corning® Gorilla® Glass. She also loves switching between fun colors, like lavender and baby pink, and elegant shades of black and midnight blue. Take these notes to heart to find the right dress for you, and you’ll feel like a star in your own right. Don’t forget to capture the moment with your Infinix NOTE 40 Pro+ 5G.

Ivana’s style is just like the Infinix NOTE 40 Pro Series: powerful, versatile, and gives you comfort knowing that you’ll always be fully charged. If you’re looking for a reliable smartphone that can keep up with your lifestyle and also snap your best looks, cop the Infinix NOTE 40 Pro+ 5G and Infinix NOTE 40 Pro for less than P14,000 via Lazada, Shopee, and TikTok.
