Dariia Zotova

Дарія Зотова (Ukrainian). Alternate anglicized spellings Dariya, Daria, Darya.

DOB: 28th of October, 1998 (Mykolaiv Oblast, Ukraine)

Eye color: Brown

Height: 5'10" (or 177 cm)

Weight: 126 lbs (or 57 kg)

Measurements: 34 / 24 / 34

Agencies: uncertain if she has one

Competitions: Placed in the Top 6 for Miss Ukraine 2021 (she was number 24).

On the old Miss Ukraine competitors page it said, crudely translated into English: "Not long ago, my name was Diana (Діана) and I had a different surname, and now I am participating in the competition with a new name - Daria Zotova (Дарія Зотова). There are five children in our family, of which I am the oldest, so my mother, sister and 3 brothers are waiting for me at home." Also that she studied rhythmic gymnastics and ballroom dancing for 10 years; that her first modelling job was in Japan when she was 14; and she was teaching English in 2021.

There are over 200 images of her for Guess (currently on their site) that I accidentally posted into Violetta Seleznova thread. I'm not sure how to fix this, or how to properly link so that all of the images show up in this thread without having to reupload a duplicate set.

I'll try to post more images of Dariia over time from Guess related accounts on social media. Here are the first few:

Francesa Valenti is in the 4th photo; I'm uncertain who the model in the brown 2-piece in the last photo, but she is almost as stunning as Dariia.

3 short videos from Guess Lingerie social media. Well, they are swimwear, but I am not complaining. Currently I don't know who the model in the brown 2-piece is, but hopefully that information will arrive one day. The top video is recent (posted this month, June 2025), the others posted September 2024:

A HQ image from the Guess 2025 SS show, + 1 from the outdoors shoot:

I carved Lauren and Dariia's looks out of the Marciano 2025 show and put the video in Lauren's thread. I'm not quite sure how to get a copy of a video to show up as a playable video inside Bellazon though.

A Guess update, this time Dariia's images posted by me in the correct thread 💡:

A few more smallish Miss Ukraine 2021 with her in and other contestants:

I believe the contestant two to Dariia's left is Olya Shamrai, who looks like one of my Guess Unknowns (not 100% sure). In the lower row I think #115 is Dariia. So 2+ Guess recent models emerged from that event, and at least of of their regular photographers is Ukrainian, and Liza Maku is mostly Ukrainian too.

A few more social media, from Guess Lingerie:

The Ukraine Girls really knock me out/ And leave the West behind/ The Polish girls make me sing & shout/ And Czechia ... is always on my mind"

A few more Guess studio photos that I seem to have overlooked (and one 2023 campaign photo):

Now she can add reality TV star to her list of accomplishments, the Ukrainian version of the Bachelor (Холостяк) Season 14

Діана Зотова (Diana Zotova)

Stb says the following, machine translated into English: "Diana is a professional model. An excellent student in life. At school, she repeatedly won running and shooting competitions. She was a candidate for master of sports in rhythmic gymnastics and was part of the Olympic reserve of Ukraine. Champion of Ukraine in ballroom dancing.

Today, Diana collaborates with famous world brands, and also develops her own clothing brand together with her mother and sister. She is one of five children in a large family, raised only by her mother. It was thanks to the initiative of Diana and her siblings that her mother was awarded the Order of the Heroine Mother, which she received from the hands of the President of Ukraine.

Dream: to buy a house for my family, since the one in Mykolaiv was damaged by an explosion, and to have my own business."

An adorable video of Dariia / Diana & Iryna Dzhagarova, apparently from when they were in Gstaad for Guess (late 2024)

New Guess campaign images, some of them with Maria Chiara Adorni, tweaked a little by me:

Studio images for Guess, part 1 (2k resolution as usual):

A video of 'The Perfect (?) Model', modelling the navy version of "The Perfect Blazer" with "The Perfect vest" and "The Perfect Pant(s)":

The photos had been posted accidentally before in Violetta thread, but not the video. Kianna and Dariia's friend Irina modelled some other types of their Perfect style. I did insert a question mark after the adjective describing this model who only seems to work for Guess? or Guess photographers outside her homeland.

Studio images for Guess, part 2 of 2:

Another studio video:

I had found a few images with the models' faces cropped out in the Guess accessories section. Initially I assumed the subject of the one below was Krystyna Pyszkova, but after closely inspecting the ears I realized it must be Dariia; the Bachelorette's outer ear helix is somewhat irregular (it's such a tiny flaw that I would never have noticed it if I wasn't forced to identify a faceless photo). It reminds me of the comments section of an old Czech article about Justyna Zednikova, where some petty individuals were savagely vilifying her for having a slightly imperfect nose.

Other jewelry pics for comparison (the large 'botanical' is arresting, but I assume would be uncomfortable to wear for an extended period of time):

 

An excerpt of a video of the Guess models at Gstaad 🏔️❄️⛄🏂, last 2024. Dariia is stunning, walking into the dining room in a black dress. There's a few other models in quick succession after her: Emily Deyt-Aysage & Meika Wollard, Iryna Dzhagarova (I can see Lauren and Justyna out of focus in the background behind her), and finally Kianna at the table 🍴. They really do bring Joy to the World 🎄🥳👪🎅

YT embeds of Dariia and Iryna Dzhagarova for the Marciano Holiday '23 Campaign. In the first one Diana (she doesn't use Dariia) mentions having a test shoot in mid 2023 - Guess liked her enough to give her a job. Her English is very good, though I'm not quite sure what she means by 'line opening'. Iryna says she was much more interested in sports than modelling as a teen.
