The Luckiest Charm

Introducing Anastasia Mitina, the dazzling dynamo from Donetsk, Ukraine, now living in sunny Tenerife. With eyes as blue as the sky and a smile that could brighten the darkest day, she’s a perfect 10 in every way.
“My journey into modeling began unexpectedly. I posted a review for a swimsuit brand and ended up with a collaboration offer. It was a happy accident,” she shares.
Her zest for life extends to her work, where she finds liberation and excitement in posing nude. “Posing nude makes me feel incredibly free, and sometimes, it even turns me on,” she admits.
When she’s not in front of the camera, Anastasia embraces an active lifestyle, from catching waves on her surfboard to scaling mountains and hitting the gym. “Sunsets by the sea and cozy movie nights with my favorite classics are my little slices of heaven,” she adds.
Anastasia’s quirks are as endearing as they are amusing. “When I brush my teeth or wash dishes, I stand on one leg like a stork. And after meals, I always have to eat something sweet,” she confesses.
In this photoshoot, captured by photographer Ana Dias for the cover of the September 2024 issue of Playboy Netherlands, Anastasia brings her A-game to the cozy vibe of a wooden cabin. Watch her as she dives into a bowl of Lucky Charms with the enthusiasm of a kid on Saturday morning, all while trying to solve a Playboy puzzle—because who knew “model life” involved marshmallows and brain teasers? Adding a touch of retro cool, Anastasia also poses with a yellow Simca 1100, perfectly complementing the shoot’s 70s-inspired vibe.
With her unparalleled beauty and playful personality, Anastasia Mitina turns cereal-munching, teeth-brushing, or puzzle-solving into an art form. You’ll smile, you’ll swoon, and you’ll maybe even rethink your own breakfast routine. Get ready to be charmed as Anastasia shows us how to savor life to the fullest.

Playboy Meets Sex Now

I made it to the Kunstpalast Museum in Düsseldorf!
My photo is featured on the cover of Playboy Germany’s exclusive art special edition, available only at the museum shop of Düsseldorf’s NRW-Forum, as part of the SEX NOW exhibition.
I’m beyond thrilled to be part of this groundbreaking exhibition. Spanning ten themed rooms and more than 400 works, SEX NOW explores lust, bodies, and desire through art, design, and media. It weaves together historical perspectives, queer viewpoints, and future visions of intimacy, creating a space that sparks dialogue about sexuality and society.

I’m honored that my work joins this conversation through the pages of Playboy’s art edition, alongside other notable artists such as Joëlle Dubois, Erika Lust and Viktoria Krug within an exhibition that dares to question, provoke, and expand perspectives.

Love Game

Let’s play. Sunshine, sneakers, and serious style. Anastasia Murr and Bogdana Voloshyna took over a tennis court in Lisbon for a shoot that’s all fun, no rules. Shot by the photographer Ana Dias for Playboy, this duo brought energy, beauty, and just the right amount of attitude.
“This was my first time doing a tennis shoot… and I loved it!” says Dana, a model and ballet dancer now living in Lisbon. “The vibe, the outfits, the team, everything just worked. I didn’t expect to like tennis this much!”
Anastasia, who’s based in Paris, was just as excited. “I’ve always wanted to try it. Tennis just feels cool. We played around a little, but mostly I was trying not to miss the ball while posing,” she laughs.
The chemistry between them? Instant. “No competition, just teamwork,” says Dana. “We were hyping each other up the whole time.” Nastya adds, “When I found out she was Ukrainian too, it felt like a small piece of home.”
The whole day felt like summer in a bottle, bright, fun, and full of good vibes. “After the shoot, I walked through the city with the biggest smile,” says Nastya. “It was just one of those perfect days.”
Tennis never looked this good. Watch these two light up the court, and own every shot.
