Unretouched photos and a video interview from Ferriera's Aerie campaign went viral in 2016. Later that year, Time (magazine) named her among their "30 Most Influential Teens."

Ferreira starred in the 10-episode Vice series "How to Behave," focused on etiquette. The show explored themes such as sex, money, and body image. The series also earned her recognition from the Webby Awards for "Best Web Personality/Host."
