As the old saying goes, being popular on Instagram is like being rich in Monopoly, and no one knows it better than Tammy Hembrow.
The Gold Coast influencer, who has almost 10 million followers, walked the red carpet of the MTV Video Music Awards on Monday night where she needed a sign held up so photographers and fans would know who she is.

Showing no embarrassment about the moment, it was Tammy who shared a video of the moment she stepped on to the red carpet where a woman held up an A4 page that read, “Tammy Hembrow, Australia”.
“No one knows her so they held up a sign,” one person wrote.
Tammy was invited to the ceremony by MTV Australia where she provided live coverage of the event on its social media channels.
A number of MTV fans criticised the move.
One asked: “What relevance does she have to MTV?”
Another added: “Well… I guess MTV is dead now.’
There was no missing the fitness enthusiast and mother-of-two as she wore a barely-there, silver two-piece ensemble by designer Geche Escvar.’
Although she had no qualms about posing on the red carpet in front of hundreds of photographers, last month the Instagram influencer came under fire when she refused to take photos with her loyal fans while partying at the popular festival, Splendour In The Grass. After arriving by helicopter at an exclusive party hosted by Nana Judy at Angus Stone’s Byron Bay property, Tammy also refused to be photographed with the brand’s promotional team.
Her strange behaviour was a far cry from how she handled an appearance at Beginning Boutique’s pre-festival gig days earlier. The model made headlines when a series of videos and photos surfaced of a braless Tammy riding a mechanical bull at a party. The socialite— who hangs out with Keeping Up With The Kardashian star Khloe Kardashian and Kylie Jenner— ensured all eyes were on her ample assets wearing nothing but a tiny g-string under a see-through white netted mesh dress which was riddled with holes
Joined by a bunch of other “Instagram influencers”, the 25-year-old— who was sporting a blue wig which she referred to as a “mermaid vibe”— didn’t seem too fazed by her raunchy ensemble, happily busting out a few moves with her pals before jumping on a mechanical bull.
Tammy debuted her festival outfit to her. 9.7 million Instagram followers, with many users raving about her new hairdo’ and daring look.
“I am loving this blue hair,” one user commented. “Look at you, you gorgeous mermaid!!!” another added
