About
Anna Sorokin BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

According to People magazine and AOLs entertainment desk Anna Sorokin better known as Anna Delvey has spent the past few days doing what only a convicted fake heiress could do turning legal limbo into a lifestyle brand. Fresh off a quiet but major legal victory that loosened the terms of her immigration related house arrest she has been granted broader freedom to work appear in public and yes return to social media according to AOL. That shift is biographically significant it marks her first real step from confined curiosity to fully fledged working celebrity since her 2019 grand larceny conviction and subsequent ICE detention as detailed by People and earlier court reporting summarized by Variety and Bloomberg.

In business and career terms Anna has doubled down on entertainment. AOL and People report that she is confirmed as a contestant on the new season of Dancing With the Stars after securing special permission from immigration authorities to travel to Los Angeles a move that could permanently reframe her from scammer to reality personality if the show lands well. AOL further reports shell be partnered with pro dancer Ezra Sosa and the casting has already triggered criticism headlines about a convicted fraudster waltzing into prime time.

Fashion wise she has been everywhere. People describes how she and her Outlaw Agency with PR veteran Kelly Cutrone staged multiple shows at the close of New York Fashion Week and how she personally walked the runway for designer Shao Yang in what she called her most me look of the day long black skirt sharp blazer and the now infamous ankle monitor partially concealed rather than flaunted a symbolic pivot from spectacle to supposed seriousness.

Social media wise she is back in the feed. People notes that after a judge eased her no socials restriction she quietly revived Instagram this fall using it to tease art projects fashion collaborations and the DWTS run. Any rumors of imminent deportation or new criminal exposure circulating online in recent days are unconfirmed and not supported by major outlets like the New York Times or the Associated Press; for now the verified narrative is rehab by spotlight not removal by ICE.
