Adriana García, a 30-year-old fashion influencer from Culiacan, Mexico, has died after suffering complications during a cosmetic procedure on Tuesday, according to Drop Shop, a chain of fashion shops where she worked.

Drop Shop confirmed her death in an emotional statement: “Today we say goodbye to a member of the Drop Shop family, remembering with affection her human quality, her dedication and the moments we shared by her side. Her memory will always remain with us. We express our most sincere condolences to her family, daughter and friends, wishing them strength and peace in these difficult moments.

Followers and colleagues flooded social media with tributes. Fellow influencer Kimberly Torres posted on Instagram: “My friend, my sister. So many years of friendship, so many beautiful moments we shared, and today I receive this news. I will love you forever, my beautiful friend.” A family member wrote: “There are no words to express the pain of your passing. You will always live in our hearts, in every memory, and in the immense love you left us.”
Social media presence and personal life
García was a well-known content creator with 47,000 TikTok followers and 46,000 Instagram fans, posting about beauty, fashion and lifestyle. She worked closely with Drop Shop, a local store selling limited-edition sneakers, caps, and luxury watches. She leaves behind a six-year-old daughter.
Her last TikTok video, from July 12, was a photo with text: “I used to be cool, now I say: no sugar please, is it lactose-free? Who's going to be there, next time tell me in advance, please God, I can't go because I have a class. Let's have breakfast instead, God willing.”
In one of her latest Instagram posts, she wrote about a previous rhinoplasty: "God made me crazy, but what about the surgeon who made my nose look like bubblegum?"
Last April, she celebrated her 30th birthday amidst the sadness of losing her father and grandfather. She wrote: “I always looked forward to April with great excitement. It was a month that meant joy to me: my birthday, vacations, and happy moments. But this year, April was completely different. In that same month, I experienced one of the greatest sorrows of my life: saying goodbye to my father and my grandfather. Two people who profoundly marked my life and my heart.”
