He was raised Muslim; his own mother converted to Islam from Catholicism.[5][6][7] Her paternal great-aunt (paternal grandfather's sister) Wassila Ben Ammar was the wife of the first President of Tunisia, Habib Bourguiba.[5]

In 2012, Ben Ammar made her acting debut in a role in the stage musical 1789: Les Amants de la Bastille.[9] In 2013, she appeared in the film Jappeloup.

In 2016, she signed with IMG Models and has since modeled for Dolce & Gabbana, Miu Miu, Carolina Herrera, Topshop, Nina Ricci and Chanel.[10][11][12][13] She has also appeared in magazines such as Vanity Fair, Harper's Bazaar Arabia, Love, and L'Officiel.[8][12]

Ben Ammar made her musical debut as a featured artist in Petit Biscuit's song "Creation Come Alive" in 2017.[14][15] Two years later, Ben Ammar released her debut single "Joyride",[16] which served as the lead track of her debut extended play, Sonia, which was released in November 2019 and earned positive reviews from critics.[17][18][19] Paper magazine wrote that she was "fitting nicely into the dark-pop scene" and went on to compare her to the likes of Halsey and Banks.[20]

In September 2020, it was announced that Ben Ammar would star as Liv McKenzie in the fifth Scream feature film (2022), which was directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett.[21][22][23] To prepare for the role, she told Vogue Arabia that she "rewatched every interview and really got into my character. It’s funny, I actually read the script so many times and knew everyone else’s scenes by heart. This was an ongoing joke on-set."[24] The film was released on 14 January 2022 to critical and commercial success.
