Ivana Knoll, a German-born designer and model from Croatia stole the show in Qatar World Cup.

Even a resounding 3-0 defeat by Argentina in the semi-finals, it’s hard to forget about this damsel who sent shockwaves in this Arabian country. She uploaded two images of herself wearing a thong bikini with a Croatian influence before the competition, claiming they were taken on a beach in Qatar.

In different Croatian matches, she always stole the show with her suggestive outfits in widely conservative country.

She says that she was astonished to learn about the rules in Qatar ahead of the World Cup. What shocked her most was that she didn’t have any clothes to cover her shoulders, knees, tummy and legs as directed by Qatari authorities.

This got her furious because back home, her culture accepts Muslims in hijab and niqab. So, she couldn’t understand why their lifestyle wasn’t allowed in Qatar.

However, she was taken aback when she realized that there were no dress code issues per se. She was only required to tone down whenever she was in a government buildings.

She said that she was “never terrified” of getting jailed and questioned how wearing a bikini or a dress could harm someone.
