Unlike her parents, Sasha did not connect her life with speed skating. The girl played tennis from the age of six, but due to a back injury, Zhulina had to forget about serious sports.

On Monday, October 23, Tatler magazine held the traditional “Debutante Ball”, presenting new faces to secular Moscow who have every chance of getting on the pages of the gloss. Among the debutantes of the ball was the daughter of Tatyana Navka and Alexander Zhulin.
This year, young representatives of famous families came out onto the parquet floor of the Hall of Columns in the House of Unions in luxurious evening dresses and twirled in a waltz. Among the twelve debutantes of 2020 were: Alexandra Zhulina, Pelageya Basmanova (granddaughter of Joseph Brodsky), Alina Novak (daughter of the Russian Minister of Energy Alexander Novak), Nina Totibadze (daughter of the artist Konstantin Totibadze), Anna Rozhdestvenskaya (daughter of the leader of the Time Machine group Andrei Makarevich ), Ustinya Malinina (daughter of singer Alexander Malinin) and other representatives of famous families.
Some shared their opinions with TV channel journalists, others posed for photographers, and still others posted selfies on Instagram and told fans how the Debutante Ball was going. The debutantes themselves languished in anticipation of the start of the ball and whiled away the time in friendly company near the table with cakes.

But finally, all the guests entered the hall, where the music began to play, and the main characters of the evening in couture dresses showed the result of rehearsals: the ability to dance ballroom classics and maintain a royal posture. The debutantes waltzed in pairs with the Bolshoi Theater ballet dancers, and in the last dance the professional dancers gave way to the girls' fathers - the debutantes danced with their parents in the finale of the evening.

Alexandra Zhulina appeared at the Tatler Debutante Ball 2020 in a dress from Elie Saab. “I was looking at photos from the Elie Saab show at French Fashion Week. I didn’t plan anything, I was waiting for what they would offer me. But then I still sent the editor a photo of the dress, which I really liked. I didn’t hope for anything, but a miracle happened - the dress ended up in a Parisian store,” Sasha Zhulina said in an interview with Tatler magazine, “I was incredibly happy. This is exactly the kind of fabulous dress I wanted to wear to the ball.”

Sasha endured a whole month of rehearsals and photo sessions at the Bolshoi Theater and did not miss a single one. And at home, her half-sister Liza Peskova helped her prepare: her own social debut took place on the parquet floor of the Hall of Columns of the House of Unions two years ago.

Music
At the age of 15, the girl began taking vocal, choreography and piano lessons.
Already at the first lesson, the teacher highly appreciated Sasha’s vocal abilities and advised her to continue studying. At Navka’s wedding with presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov, which took place in Sochi in August 2020, she performed for the newlyweds the song “I will dance,” written for the young singer by Sergei Revtov and Arseniy Ardeleanu. A video of the performance appeared on the Internet and collected several thousand views.
After that, metropolitan radio stations contacted her and offered to make a studio recording of the song. Thus, the incendiary composition by Zhulina, who took the stage name Alexia, ended up in radio rotation. With her hit, the girl managed to perform several times at various events, including a concert of the Russian Radio station on Red Square.

The girl took the pseudonym Alexia because she wanted to play off the name Sasha. When asked if she is afraid that she will be confused with “Star Factory” graduate Alexa, Zhulina replies that their style and manner of performance are different, and that season of “Factory” aired too long ago: “Those who listen my music, they definitely won’t confuse me with anyone!”
It’s hard to confuse Alexander with someone
In the summer of 2020, Alexandra recorded a new song, “You Breathe with Me.” The authors of the song were again Revtov and Ardeleanu. Soon a video clip was shot for the song, in which MBAND vocalist Nikita Kiosse also appeared.
