Playboy
L’Été Infini
If I had to sum up this photoshoot in one word, it would be “golden”, not just because of the light, but because of everything it meant to me. I was pregnant at the time with my son, and in a very quiet way, that changed how I experienced the entire day. It wasn’t just a shoot anymore; it became something I carried with me, moment by moment, feeling everything a little more deeply and emotionally. I wasn’t there on my own, in a way I had my baby boy with me, sharing that moment with me throughout.
This photoshoot with Noémie Neuens was commissioned by Playboy USA, under the direction of Smiley Stevens. The original plan was to fly to Los Angeles for the production, but because I was pregnant, I asked if we could bring the shoot to Europe instead, where I am based. Thankfully, they agreed. And in the end, it made everything feel even more special: a Playboy USA Playmate feature, created under my own sun, in my own little corner of the world.
We shot on July 30, 2025, with the river and the Atlantic ocean in the background, making the whole scene feel naturally cinematic.
Our set was a beautiful vintage Jeanneau Attalia 32, a real nostalgic gem. The kind of boat that doesn’t just sit in the water, but feels like it carries stories with it. Slightly weathered, full of character, and absolutely perfect for the mood I had in mind, timeless, cinematic, and a little bit dreamy.
And then there was Noémie.
Sun-kissed and beautifully bronzed, she looked like she was made for the sea. Everything about the way she moved felt natural, and every frame felt alive.
It was a beautiful day of sun, sea, and creation, and one I’ll always carry with me.

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.

Sun Kissed
If perfection had a name it would be Natalia Andreeva. On set for her photo spread as Miss October 2019 for the cover of Playboy Italy, Natalia — or Natasha, as her friends call her — shared her good energy as photographer Ana Dias captured all her nude beauty.
You may recognise Natasha from her time spent cheering for the Russia national football team, on the World Cup 2018. Her images have gone viral after she was spotted at the opening game and she has since mesmerised football fans around the world.
Looking absolutely gorgeous in a tiny yellow bikini, Natasha decides to spend the day in her favorite place: at the beach, soaking up the sun. “It was my first time in Portugal and I fell in love with this huge amazing wild beach” she says. “Everybody had the same positive working vibe, we had a lot of fun together.” Posing nude is something that comes easy to the lovely Natasha: “I felt free and happy naked in the sun.”
A cheerful and easygoing woman, Natalia Andreeva is absolutely breathtaking as she reveals her slender, yet utterly curvy figure. “I love my curves in balance with my skinny body” she says proudly.
When she’s not in front of the camera, Natasha lives life day to day, enjoying it the best she can. You can find her travelling, sailling around the Mediterranean sea, skiing or doing yoga — anything that allows her to get to know herself a bit more.
