She is a former Miss Croatia winner and made her first appearance at the World Cup during Croatia's opening game against Morocco at the Al-Bayt Stadium on November 23 last year.
She wore the national flag colour combination of red and white which became her trademark as the tournament went on. When quizzed if she feared getting arrested, Knoll said:
"I was never afraid of being arrested because I am who I am and I don’t think I can hurt anyone if I wear a bikini. And if that’s why I deserve it to get arrested, arrest me.”
The gulf country is known for following a rigid code when it comes to public clothing and how women behave in the open. However, despite Knoll's 'provocative' dresses, the Qatari authorities refrained from taking any action against her.
After going viral, Knoll's Instagram account took off and as of the last update, she had over 3.5 million followers.According to the bio on her website, the goal of “knolldoll” is to produce a unique Croatian item.
