Valentina Kolesnikova

Smokin’ body? Check. Blue eyes you can get lost in? Check. Sexy Russian accent? Check, check. Among the many things that hail from Russia, we’ll count Valentina Kolesnikova as one of our favourites. A master of the sexy pose, this former LFM Girl is multi-talented, with skills in acting, modelling, TV presenting and her general ability to blow minds with her hotness.

Destined for greatness from the very start, Valentina found her calling when she took the Miss Maxim crown in Russia in 2010, the win that set her on the road to a professional modelling career. The big features followed, with a Playboy Italia cover and a spread for For Men magazine among the highlights, and she counts the photographer Marco Baraldi as a personal favourite to work with. But the camera is only part of the story: she has also sung and recorded songs in several languages and starred in TV commercials and films.

Both ambitious and adventurous, this ridiculously hot Russian lives life on the move, travelling constantly, soaking up new places and cultures, and blogging about her adventures along the way. She rates her positive outlook as her greatest asset, draws fuel from her own achievements and the kind words of her friends, and has a soft spot for animals, standing firmly against animal testing. Her long game, when we last caught up with her: a book about her life.

Whether you fall for her looks or her attitude, you’re in good hands with Valentina Kolesnikova. Trust us, she lives up to the billing. We’ve never led you astray before, have we?
