Russian model Alena Savostikova took to Instagram this week to debut a playful, nerd-chic photo series under the hashtag #nerdmeout. In a carousel of three striking black-and-white images, she dons oversized rectangular frames and pairs them with laid-back styling that balances smart and effortless.
A Fresh Take On Geek Glam
Savostikova’s caption—“ｲんﾑｲ ‘ﾘのりﾑ ﾚﾉｷ乇’ んﾉｲｲﾉ刀ム んﾑ尺り 🤓”—translates roughly to “In my ‘nerd me out’ collection 🤓.” The choice of Japanese characters adds an international flair to the post, reinforcing her status as a global fashion influencer. Throughout the photos, Savostikova alternates between direct gazes into the lens and softer, candid moments. She completes the look with minimal makeup, a simple slicked-back hairstyle, and an easy smile that underscores the playful concept.

Behind the scenes, styling duties fell to Blair Woods (@blairwoodsofficial), who embraced a pared-down wardrobe of crisp white shirts and tailored blazers. The stark contrast between the clean lines of her clothing and the chunky frames gives each shot a modern edge. Photographer Money Shot (@money_sh0t) captured Savostikova in high contrast studio lighting, accentuating the glossy finish of the glasses and the shine in her eyes.
The Rise Of Nerd-chic
Oversized frames have become a runaway trend in recent seasons. Major runway shows from Prada to Gucci have featured geometric glasses as the centerpiece of their accessory lines. On the red carpet, stars like Emma Stone and Sophie Turner have embraced similar styles, proving that “geek glam” has moved firmly into mainstream fashion. Savostikova’s latest shoot sits comfortably within that movement, offering her own sleek spin on the look. Fashion analysts note that the practical nod to eyewear doubles as a statement piece, giving outfits an intellectual twist.
Why Fans Are Loving #nerdmeout
Within hours of posting, Savostikova’s #nerdmeout images racked up over 50,000 likes and hundreds of comments praising her fresh approach. One fan wrote, “Best glasses look I’ve seen all year,” while another commented, “You make nerd-chic so cool!” The easy blend of high-fashion styling and laid-back attitude seems to resonate with followers eager for wearable trends.
Behind The Scenes Insights
In an Instagram Story shared alongside the main post, Savostikova tagged Woods and Money Shot again, giving followers a peek at the set. Casual videos show her laughing between takes and adjusting the frames, suggesting that the shoot was as fun as it looks. Neither stylist nor photographer have publicly commented beyond re-sharing the images, but both tapped into their feeds to celebrate the final results.
Savostikova has become a regular on fashion-forward Instagram feeds. Earlier this month, she starred in a street-style roundup during Milan Fashion Week, where she paired a graphic tee with an oversized trench. Now, she pivots to this monochrome series that feels more editorial. Her ability to move between high-glam and approachable street looks has solidified her reputation as a versatile style muse.
Savostikova often uses her platform to highlight emerging designers and overlooked trends. By dedicating an entire post to eyewear, she draws attention to a category that can be as functional as it is fashionable. The #nerdmeout theme invites other influencers and her followers to join the conversation—sparking a micro-trend that could gain momentum in the weeks ahead.
With the success of these images and the positive buzz around her styling choices, it’s likely we’ll see more color variations or playful props in follow-up shoots. For now, the combination of sharp tailoring, clean photography, and statement glasses makes this series one of Savostikova’s most memorable Instagram moments of the year.
Fans can revisit the full series on her handle @liforsash, and keep an eye out for upcoming collaborations between Savostikova, Woods, and Money Shot. Whether you’re a glasses wearer yourself or simply admire a well-executed style concept, this #nerdmeout shoot is a reminder that fashion can be fun, smart, and entirely your own.
