Amelie Lou
Baby Blue
Lose yourself in the mesmerizing world of Playboy cover girl, Amelie Lou, as seen through the lens of photographer Ana Dias. Watch as Amelie’s delicate and feminine allure comes to life, whether she’s cruising on her tiny motorcycle along the Alentejo coast or taking a leisurely walk on the sandy shores, with the breathtaking Atlantic Ocean in the background.
Amelie can’t contain her excitement, saying, “It was an amazing experience! Doing a photoshoot with Ana has been a dream of mine for a long time.” Her modeling journey has taken her from her small-town roots in Donetsk, Ukraine, to globetrotting adventures while connecting with people from diverse cultures. “Sometimes, I have to stop and take a moment to recognize how much I have evolved,” she reflects.
With a petite natural figure and hypnotic blue eyes, this 24-year-old beauty believes her modeling poses come naturally. She even jokes, “Maybe I’m not even doing it right, but hey, no one’s complained yet!”
In addition to her modeling career, Amelie is also on a mission to become a psychologist and make a positive impact on people’s lives. Her dream? Helping individuals with emotional struggles understand their feelings and find meaning in life. “I’m passionate about psychology! I want to be there for people and make the world a safer place,” she shares.
And when Amelie isn’t pursuing her dreams, you’ll find her with her furry sidekick, Princess, a kitty she rescued from an animal shelter. Her compassion isn’t limited to her four-legged friend; she’s all about building deep connections with the people in her life. Family and friends hold the most special place in her heart, and she’s always ready to open up and share her feelings with those who matter most.
But there’s more to Amelie than her career and her caring nature. She loves to dance and paint at home, letting loose and expressing herself freely. “Painting is sort of a meditation for me,” she shares.
Her zest for life is downright contagious, and she tackles each day with an adventurous spirit, always eager to see what the world has in store.
Ladies and gentlemen, meet Amelie Lou, just for you.

Baby Blue
I met Amelie Lou on social media, and I’d been eager to photograph her for quite some time. She has this adorable baby face that I’m a huge fan of. So, when she told me she was coming to Portugal, I hit her up right away for a shoot I had planned for Playboy Netherlands.
But here’s the twist: the day before the shoot, Amelie—the star of the show—had a scooter accident! When I got the news, I freaked out. She was covered in bruises, and her knees had some pretty nasty wounds. For a moment, I thought, “Should I even go through with this?” But then I figured, “Opportunities like this don’t come around every day”. I’ve handled tougher challenges, so I decided to roll with it.
The next day, it was road trip time. Me, Amelie, and the crew headed south, chasing the sun. The morning was gorgeous, and I had a good feeling about how the day would turn out.
We shot on May 26, 2022, along the Alentejo coast in Portugal—one of my favorite spots for that endless ocean vibe. The beach was stunning, with deep blue water and miles of golden sand.
Now, here’s where things got tricky. I’d never shot there in the spring, and I was in for a surprise—and not a good one. During the shoot, a swarm of pesky insects decided to crash our party. They were everywhere! On Amelie’s skin, on our clothes, on the props, even in our snacks. It was chaos—a full-blown bug invasion. Managing that situation felt like a circus act, but the whole team pitched in to keep the bugs at bay between shots.
Thankfully, as we made our way down the cliffs toward the water, the bugs finally gave up. That’s when we caught a break and got to enjoy a peaceful, bug-free atmosphere, soaking in the beauty of the sea and the Alentejo coastline.
