At just 21, Red Alexandria Fajutrao—better known online as Red Bedonia—has become one of the Philippines’ fastest-rising influencers. With more than 11 million TikTok followers, millions more across Facebook and Instagram, and countless viral videos, she has built a massive online empire. But behind the numbers is the story of a young woman who turned her passions into a career.
Small-Town Roots, Big Dreams
Born on January 6, 2004, and raised in Pavia, Iloilo, Red grew up in a close-knit environment far from the fast-paced world of Manila’s entertainment industry. Friends and family know her as Lex, someone who has always loved to perform, dance, and experiment with style.
Her humble beginnings ground her even today. While she’s known for her glamorous fashion, polished dance clips, and trendy makeup, Red often shares snippets of her laid-back side—making her relatable to fans who see her as both a star and a friend.
The Road to Virality
Red’s breakthrough moment came in 2020 when she uploaded a TikTok video lip-syncing to Shaggy’s hit “Angel.” The post skyrocketed to over a million views, setting off a journey that would soon define her career.
By early 2021, her first Facebook Reel hit over 761,000 views, and later posts would peak at 34 million views. On TikTok, she regularly pulls in multi-million engagements, with her top video reaching 28.8 million views.
From that point, Lex wasn’t just participating in trends—she was shaping them.
Red Star Power
Now, Red commands audiences across platforms: 11.7 million TikTok followers, 4.5 million on Facebook, 531,000 on Instagram, and a growing fan base on Twitter/X. Her FB community group, Red Alexandria Bedonia, connects thousands of her fans who celebrate her every post.
But beyond reach, what makes Red stand out is her authenticity. Whether she’s dancing, unboxing products, or enjoying a beach trip, she connects with viewers in a way that feels real. At just 21, she has already showcased 158 products on TikTok, proving she is as much a trusted influencer as she is an entertainer.
Brands, Breakthroughs, and Beyond
Her online success quickly caught the attention of brands. She began collaborating with local businesses like Cookies By F and BIG Clothing Co., then rose to national recognition as a brand ambassador for Nexplay, an esports and entertainment company.
Resorts and travel destinations also feature her in campaigns, from Le Palm Beach Resort in Antique to the famous Kawa Inn at Calawag Mountain Resort. She has also modeled for Makeup by Sheena Ilustre and endorsed Lady L Apartelle in Boracay.
Her talents even carried her beyond social media. In 2022, she appeared as Player 196 in the teaser for the Filipino adaptation of Squid Game Season 2, directed by Joven Lovena, alongside big-name influencers likeMalupiton, Albert Nicholas, Sachzna Laparan, Jelai Andres and Agassi Ching.
What’s Next for Red Bedonia?
Despite her massive following, Red remains focused on growth. Recently, she joined a dance workshop with Coach Renz Jenuz, showing her commitment to improving her craft.
From Iloilo to the world stage, Red Bedonia is more than just a TikTok star—she’s a symbol of how passion, authenticity, and creativity can turn dreams into reality. And if her journey so far is any sign, her brightest chapters are yet to be written.
