Model Ivana Knoll — known as the World Cup’s hottest fan — claims she was asked to turn down her hotness at the start of her DJ career … but she tells TMZ Sports she has no plans to be just one of the guys.
The Croatian beauty — who boasts nearly three million followers on Instagram — opened up about her foray into the music industry during a conversation with Lucas Widman … and revealed one early concern had nothing to do with her abilities on the turntables, but rather her appearance.
Knoll broke down a request from one agent in particular … who suggested she give off more of a “sexy boy” look.
Knoll said there’s no shortage of attractive women in the genre … but for some reason, they’re pressured to “hide the sexiness” and dress more like their male counterparts.
Needless to say, she elected against it … and it’s paying off, as she’s booked a bunch of gigs as Knoll Doll — including Ultra Europe last year.
Knoll also agreed she has to work harder than most people getting into the industry … and is well aware of the fact people are waiting for her to make a mistake so they can start hating.
But bad news for them, she said she works tirelessly at her craft … and name-dropped a dream collab she’d love to work with in the future!!
Check out the whole interview — we also talk to Knoll about her World Cup 2026 plans, a recent injury recovery and more!!
