Miles Yardley (born 1997), known professionally as Pariah the Doll, is an American model, musician and actor from Pennsylvania. Formerly a trans woman under the female alias Salomé in New York's downtown fashion and Dimes Square scene, he later detransitioned. In 2026, he released the album Castrato and appeared on a runway at New York Fashion Week organized by fashion designer Elena Velez. [1]
Early life
Miles Yardley was born in 1997 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.[2][3] At 15 years old, Yardley was late to puberty and became a patient at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia's gender clinic where he was put on androgen blockers and estrogen therapy.[2]
Career
In 2022, Yardley moved from Pennsylvania to New York and joined the downtown fashion scene under the female alias Salomé.[2][4] He became a model and signed a modelling contract.[2][5] He later appeared in a Marc Jacobs advertisement filmed by German photographer Juergen Teller and was also featured at New York Fashion Week shows organized by Batsheva Hay.[2][6]
Yardley had initially been associated with Downtown New York's Dimes Square scene.[7][6] According to Wired magazine's Leah Filger, Yardley attended a party organized by Evie Magazine, "a longtime favorite of the far-right". Yardley stated that "The party was apolitical, that's how I felt".[5] In 2025, Yardley detransitioned after a decade of living as a trans woman,[8] which according to UnHerd magazine was inspired by alt-right figure Milo Yiannopoulos, whom Yardley was living with in Los Angeles.[3] The publication also stated that Yardley had been in a dance video with political activist James O'Keefe.[9] Yardley also formed the clothing line Eunuch for the Kingdom.[2]
In April 2026, Yardley formed the band "Pariah the Doll", releasing the album Castrato.[2][10] Journalist Savannah Sobrevilla, writing for GQ, described him as a "musician-model".[11] That same month, he met with influencer Clavicular at New York Fashion Week.[12] The show was organized by fashion designer Elena Velez.[13][11][2] Sobrevilla stated that Yardley "wore a chin prosthetic that seemingly poked fun at the hefty mandibles coveted by the looksmaxxing community".[11] According to journalist Grace Byron, writing for GQ, Yardley detransitioned from being a trans woman and had previously discussed it online. Byron stated that "transness and looksmaxxing may have some salient overlap", and added that Yardley had claimed to have "mogged" Clavicular.[12]
