About
Aleksandra Smelova is a Russian glamour and swimwear model whose photos have graced Playboy Plus and a growing list of online magazines. Born on 28 October 1998, she first appeared on the radar of modeling fans under the playful nickname “Alex Lolly.” Today, her portfolio blends classic pin-up posing with modern social-media storytelling, giving followers a mix of polished studio shoots and candid behind-the-scenes clips.
Away from professional shoots, Aleksandra has cultivated a steady online community. Her main Instagram profile—currently tracked under either @alex_lolly_ or @asmelova—pairs outfit snaps with sketches and everyday moments, a blend that keeps engagement hovering around four percent, comfortably above the platform’s average for mid-tier creators. These pages function as her informal portfolio and fan club in one: brands looking for a softly glamorous aesthetic scroll for potential collaborations, while fans enjoy frequent updates without the gloss of heavy PR language.
Before Fame
Aleksandra grew up in Russia, balancing life between the bustle of Moscow, where many freelance models book their earliest photo tests, and family ties that later placed her in Volgograd. By her mid-teens she was already experimenting with self-portraits for VK (Russia’s Facebook equivalent), trading tips with local photographers and learning the basics of lighting and posing.
At 19, Aleksandra’s images began surfacing on modeling forums and stock-photo sites, crediting her under the “Alex Lolly” alias. Those early pictures—often shot in city-park settings or sparsely furnished studios—caught the attention of Playboy Plus talent scouts. In 2018, she filmed her first “International” pictorial for the brand; by 15 September 2023, she was back for a third, aptly titled “Open Heart.” That repeat booking signaled to fans that she had moved from curious newcomer to reliable favorite in the platform’s rotating roster of models.
Trivia
- Stage name switch-up: Though her legal first name is Aleksandra, fans still tag her as Alex Lolly, a moniker she once laughed was “short, sugary, and easy to spell.”
- Social snapshot: Public analytics list roughly 1.7k Instagram followers, an average 65 likes per post, and a post value estimate of about $39 for sponsored content—figures that place her squarely in the “micro-influencer” category but with above-average engagement.
- Playboy regular: Her 2023 photo set “Open Heart” (36 images) is archived by collectors alongside earlier sessions such as “Solo Situation,” giving her at least three official galleries on the service.
- Art on the side: The bio line “Artwork” on @asmelova hints at a habit of sketching fashion silhouettes between shoots—a pastime she occasionally shares through Stories.
- Signature look: While Aleksandra is naturally brunette, most fans recognize her for long, light-blond hair—she says the brighter tone “photographs like sunshine,” especially against neutral backdrops.
Family Life
Unlike many influencers, Aleksandra keeps her relatives out of the limelight, yet her Instagram tagline “Любимый сынок” (“beloved little son”) quietly reveals that she is a mother. When followers ask how she balances parenting with travel shoots, she credits a close-knit family in Volgograd who gladly step in whenever work calls her to Moscow or abroad. Relationship status, on the other hand, remains unconfirmed; chats in Q&A stickers usually steer back to her next creative project instead.
Associated With
Aleksandra’s circle largely overlaps with other Playboy Plus regulars. Blog round-ups and modeling features often mention her alongside Heidi Romanova, Sofi Ka, Joy Lamore, Francy Torino, and Mishamai, spotlighting a loose cohort of European models who rotate through the platform’s monthly releases. One recent article on contemporary Russian talent even grouped her in the same conversation as Rebecca Ray and Tanya Markova, underscoring her presence within a wider creative network.
