Having been previously crowned Miss Croatia in 2016, the German-born beauty has wisely used her pageant success to carve out an impressive following in a ridiculously cluttered social media space. And her presence supporting Croatia’s national team at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar has been nothing short of heart-stopping.
While Croatia has been playing some superb footy in Qatar, even slaying mighty Brazil, Knoll’s signature red and white checkered spandex bikini top and matching tights have already won the tournament.

After flooding Instagram and Twitter with jaw-dropping content for days, not only has she damn near broken the internet in her curvy costume, but she’s also boldly defied the highly conservative Qatari law and cultural norms around dress code that strictly forbid showing so much skin.
Knoll can’t, it appears, go wrong, and her skyrocketing fanbase is completely here for it. More than a few media outlets have dubbed her the World Cup’s “hottest” fan.

Though she says she has not had any issues with local authorities over her busty outfits, cameras clearly observed her getting into a heated discussion with stadium security during the quarterfinal clash between Croatia and Brazil.
Naturally, she took her defense to the airwaves and talked to the greatest sleuth in England since Sherlock Holmes: Piers Morgan.
