Miss Bikini Ireland, placing Top 4 and earning the coveted title of Miss Social Media will have her chance at the Runway

From Latvia to Ireland, Simona Evelina Nagle... known to many as Evelina or Evyy — is stepping into her moment. The Ashbourne-based model, business owner, and former athlete is preparing to take on the runway this season with Paris Runway Official, representing a new wave of Irish talent defined by authenticity, confidence, and heart.

A Journey Rooted in Resilience

Simona’s path to modeling began long before the camera lights. A former All-Star cheerleader and team captain with Strike Force Cheer, she spent seven years competing across Europe... even earning her team a bid to the All-Star Worlds in Florida. “Cheer taught me discipline and teamwork,” she shares, “but modeling taught me who I am.”

That self-discovery came full circle when she competed in Miss Bikini Ireland, placing Top 4 and earning the coveted title of Miss Social Media, a recognition of both her influence and her impact.

Finding Purpose Through Passion

Simona’s story is one of transformation... from a shy athlete to a confident model who commands the lens. “When I’m in front of the camera, it’s like something clicks,” she says. “I become fearless... it’s just me and the moment.”

Her modeling career began with Fashion House Ireland, where she walked for four different designers in 2023. Since then, she has been featured in Elements Magazine (2020) and My Models Pix Magazine (2024), showcasing her evolving style and versatility.

Beyond the runway, Simona runs her own beauty business specializing in eyelash extensions which is a creative outlet that empowers other women to feel beautiful and confident. “Helping girls feel powerful is one of the best parts of what I do,” she says.

Empowering the Next Generation

Simona’s purpose reaches far beyond modeling as she wants to be a voice for women learning to believe in themselves. “I used to worry what people would think,” she admits. “But I realized if you keep listening to fear, you’ll never chase your dreams. You have to do it for you.”

Her message is one of courage and self-belief and it is about encouraging young women to embrace their individuality, silence the critics, and take every opportunity that aligns with their dreams.

Looking Ahead

As she prepares to take on new runways and expand her portfolio internationally, Simona remains grounded in gratitude. Her greatest personal goal? To achieve financial freedom and give back to her mother, who raised her and her brothers as a single parent.

Her guiding belief is simple yet powerful:

“Everything happens for a reason. Every challenge brings you closer to your purpose.”

With her talent, drive, and authenticity, Simona Evelina Nagle is not just walking the runway... she’s paving her own path, inspiring others to find the courage to follow theirs.
