    A Youtube embed of a Portuguese photoshoot of Kylie (late June, 2024) that commences around nautical sunrise. Easy to miss since her name isn't in the title. The best quality is a 4k file that is 721 MB in size, so too large to expect Bellazon to host it. I guess I am trying to put forward the case that she might have done sufficient modelling work to justify being moved to the Fashion Models section. I'm not sure if photos from this shoot are available online.

    Guess interview as a Youtube embed (I always try to post at least one 'talkie' video for all of the models I dedicate a thread to or are currently posting a lot of in a pre-existing thread):

    48 more of Lauren, for Guess (either new or images I missed the first time perusing their site):

    I found a playlist someone had compiled of almost all of the videos (mostly fashion shows) she is in on Youtube; some are links to compilations, others to full shows. She might have done enough catwalk work by now to be moved to fashion models section:

    Here is a Youtube embed of a video she made, HD resolution:

    She seems to be with TXM Models: https://www.txmmodels.com/kylie-gesualdo-portfolio These are from her portfolio, desperately needed since her thread only has 3 working Youtube embeds: I had trouble finding her Instagram account, she uses kylie_the_bunny_ and there is no mention of her surname. Found a HQ closeup, not from social media:

    First selection of images from her lovely site. These are just photos with Anet in this, more closer up: 7 were in Png format; I transcoded to Jpeg 95 using the newer JepgLi algorithm, which dramatically reduced the file size with barely any observable damage at 100% zoom. The best 4 zoomed out images:

    3 videos with Anet in them, from her site: https://www.anetmlcakovaa.com/ Her site has a lot more travel photographs - landscape, resorts and local wildlife. Far superior to the social media quality most people are accustomed to (max 2048 pixels on a site).

    Images from Metro Models and from Real Woman agency. I've culled them, so hopefully the images should be either unique (not posted here yet), trumping dupes (larger dimensions and quality) or smallish but with no obvious compression damage. Files have some information prefixed onto their name. Test photos: Harpers Bazaar Vietnam, April 2024 (cover is just MQ, but the other 3 are HQ)

    DOB: August 14, 1997 in Ostrava (population ~ 283k) Here are 2 links to articles about Anet/Aneta : From 2023 - https://www.naludamagazine.com/interview-with-gorgeous-model-and-influencer-anet-mlcakova/ Excerpts: "Anet Mlcakova, hailing originally from the enchanting city of Ostrava in the Czech Republic, currently calls Lugano, Switzerland home... A memorable highlight [of her career] was her recent participation in the 80th Venice Film Festival... My journey in modeling began after I was scouted at a local fashion show. I had always been interested in fashion and modeling seemed like the perfect way to express myself. After that I went to the agency in Milan where it all started I was immediately booked for my first shooting for Guess.... during the COVID-19 pandemic, I actively leveraged the situation to engage with my audience on Instagram. With people spending more time at home and seeking connection and entertainment online, I saw a significant boost in my Instagram following. I was able to grow by approximately 450k followers during that time... What advice do you have for someone looking to grow their Instagram following? ... Engage with Your Audience: Respond to comments, engage with your followers’ content, and build a sense of community. Genuine interactions can boost your visibility. [yes, very important, don't ban people for asking innocuous questions] ...When I was in the Czech Republic, I was studying to become a doctor. But deep down, I always had a dream of being a model. It all started when I did a little fashion show for a local Czech brand. That’s when I realized my true passion was in the fashion world. So, my modeling career began, and it’s amazing how dreams can come true when you follow your heart. Two places that have meant a lot to me are the Maldives and Namibia. The Maldives is like a dream with its clear blue waters and colorful fish. It made me feel how important it is to take care of our oceans and the beauty they hold. Namibia’s deserts and big sand dunes were like a different planet. The sunrises there were like magic. Being in those wide, open spaces made me appreciate how amazing nature is, and how important it is to protect it. Both of these places remind me of the beauty and wonder of our world. You mentioned that one of your goals is to model in the US. Are there specific American brands or designers you admire and hope to collaborate with? Yes, I have some American brands and designers I admire like Sherill Hill, Calvin Klein, Retrofete, and as I love shooting lingerie and bikini, Honey Birdette, Beach Bunny Swimwear, but I’m open to working with anyone. Whether it’s well-known names or not, I’m excited to bring my style to the American fashion scene and collaborate with those who like what I do. As a travel blogger exploring luxury resorts worldwide, I aim to inspire people with dreamy vacation destinations. I engage with my followers by responding to comments and messages and creating interactive content like polls and Q&A sessions. This genuine connection and content alignment have contributed to the growth of my Instagram following. Could you share some of the challenges you’ve faced in your career and how you’ve overcome them? Competition. The fashion and modeling industry is highly competitive. To stand out, I’ve focused on developing my unique style and brand. Building a strong online presence through social media has also helped me differentiate myself and attract opportunities... In the future, I plan to diversify my modeling work, expand internationally, and continue personal growth." 2nd from Authority magazine on Medium (Sep 2023): https://medium.com/authority-magazine/model-aneta-mlcakova-shares-her-top-self-care-wellness-and-beauty-tips-3c0bce46638e Personal note: I assume she is married https://www.instagram.com/aneta.amari/ was the account I initially found, but it resembles a Model Agency Portfolio image selection. Her active and much more interesting account, with 1,403 posts and 1.2 million followers, is https://www.instagram.com/anetmlcak0va/ I lept to the wrong conclusion because I didn't do enough research. Also, she has her own web site: https://www.anetmlcakovaa.com/about-me "Hey there! I'm Aneta Mlcakova, a globetrotting model and influencer who's all about that luxury life. Originally from the Czech Republic, I traded it for the scenic vibes of Switzerland, thanks to my awesome boyfriend. We're not just any couple – we're on a world tour, capturing amazing moments with his love for photos and videos. Equipped with top-notch gear, we're not just traveling; we're crafting stories about the cool places we stay. Come along for the ride, where every adventure is like a picture-perfect postcard from a dreamy resort or hotel."

    Here's the other bikini clad video from her section on Metro Models (I wish they had slightly adjusted the starting frame though): AnetaM - Metro vid swim - 1716878817-c95dde1364f7ada0ca600ddad37fe5b5.mp4 And here are the accompanying 4k photos (definitely too high a quality to be 'video captures'; thumbs up to whoever took and processed the photographs):
  13. 8 from Guess (there were more of most of the other models, for whatever reason; Klaudia Wonatowska and Miss World 2024 were also 'short-changed'):

    What I could find of LA on Boux Avenue's site: These might be of Lauren. The images are 'decapitated' close-ups and had no full body images accompanying the listings. There was one other pale skinned model on Boux Avenue's site whose name I do not know; the other has more of an ectomorphic (slender, high-fashion model like) body type. Lauren has more of a Tyra Banks or Veronika Varekova physique.

    I don't think these have been posted (no hits for the term lepel in this thread). Jenna from Lepel's site ( www.lepel.it ) : There were always 2 images per item. I only discovered this Belgian model's identity today.
  17. All of Seyla's images I could find on Lepel's site ( www.lepel.it ) : I I had to remove the junk from the end of the urls to reveal higher quality images, but they are still overcompressed - you can see banding artifacts in the background of some of the images where there is uneven illumination (Irfanview - press i - says they are compressed at jpeg level 72 with chroma subsampling; 90+ is transparent encoding). I have an archivist mindset - preservation (for posterity) and quality are both important to me.
  18. There are 5 images of Seyla posted in the Unidentifies section, for Lepel Lingerie.

    Sorry for necroing - RRman2007, do you have any more of Seyla's images from Lepel from early 2024 (essentially a model specific site rip from that time)?

    2 videos of Lauren modelling for Boux Avenue were posted last year in the Unidentified section. https://www.bellazon.com/main/uploads/monthly_2025_05/stealthgram-vid.mp4.ceccb19b0aca1e24ddf4eecc8c45b568.mp4 https://www.bellazon.com/main/uploads/monthly_2025_05/stealthgram-vid.mp4.ceccb19b0aca1e24ddf4eecc8c45b568.mp4 I visited Boux's site but did not find any videos, just a smallish number of images that I shall post soon once sorted through. Maybe Lauren was last year's model and they have moved on to other model now, as tends to happen in the fashion world (Polish sites, and Guess, seem to be more 'loyal' to their models).
  21. Thank you so much Kimflorida. I stumbled onto an interesting image with at least 4 of my 'Unidentifieds' (Meika in the upper left, Francesa lower right corner); there was also a short video but only 360 pixels tall (maybe I can find a better version, though there aren't video reverse search engines).
  22. Some information from an Italian site, about the preliminaries of Miss Italia 2021, machine translated into English: "Of the 26 Misses from every corner of Lombardy, only the first 6 gained access to the next phase, that of the 2021 regional finals. Seyla Zanon, born in Milan and resident in Cornaredo , was crowned 'Miss Terrazza Malaspina', ahead of Federica Nania, Valentina Fuso, Alessia Cattaneo, Martina Maiorana and Ilenia Brunella Cancro... The winner from Cornaredo is 177 cm tall , has green eyes and blond hair. Seyla impressed the jury not only for her colour and features, but also for the great confidence she conveyed during the evening. The 23-year-old, who also has two other first names, Magalie and Brigitte, said she was aware on the eve of her chances of success, despite it being her first beauty contest, as she told ' Libera Stampa l'Altomilanese ' at the end of the evening: "I had never paraded in an event of this type, even though, since I was little, I had shot commercials [and] posed as a photo model ". You never know what you will unearth when you do some internet research. People know almost everything about, say, Taylor Swift or Sydney Sweeney or Gigi Hadid, but the (regional) models and minor celebrities I post are mostly a mystery outside their homeland.
