As a result, her Instagram, which only initially boasted a few hundred thousand followers, blew up to more than three million followers as at March 28.
The 2022 World Cup opened doors for the model, who has been on a roll since the tournament concluded.
Thanks to her new-found global superstardom, the model has now rubbed shoulders with some big names in different industries including American rapper, Drake and actor, Leonardo DiCaprio.
She has also earned entries to swanky events like Formula One Grand Prix, which she attended in Las Vegas last year.

16 months after she went viral, Ivana took to social media to strongly hint at making a return to football stadiums, this time at the Euros in Germany.

In the caption, she wrote, "Let’s go for @Euro2024."
Interestingly, the 2022 World Cup was not the first football tournament Ivana had attended.
According to Outkick, the model was in Brazil for the 2014 World Cup, but at the time, she was not very popular on social media.
She attended the 2014 spectacle with her signature Croatia-themed outfits as her nation crashed out of the tournament in the group stage.
Knoll shared another post exuding her excitement that the tournament was starting in two months.
Croatia’s group games
If Knoll makes an appearance at the Euros, she will likely attend Croatia’s first group game, which is against Spain on June 15.
The 2018 World Cup finalists will then face Albania four days later, before concluding their group with a crunch clash against Italy.
