Thinspo & Model Profile – Snejana Onopka
August 3rd, 2010
Posted by Skinny Gurl
Snejana Onopka
Nationality: Ukrainian
Age: 23
Height: 5′ 9″ - 175 cm
Weight: ~105 lb - ~48 kg
Measurements: (US) 33 – 23 – 33 (EU) 84 – 58 – 84
Snejana moved to Kiev – the capital of Ukraine – where she was discovered by a modeling scout which led to the start of her career in 2001. In 2005 her career really started to take off, when she started appearing in campaigns for Prada and Dolce & Gabbana.
As many models do, Snejana has had controversy about her weight during her modeling career. She was quite a bit heavier as a young girl (if you’re curious, there nude pictures online of her as a young teen. I won’t post them for obvious reasons, but they’re not very hard to find.) But like most girls trying to make it big in the world of high fashion, she worked to lose weight – and at one point in 2006, she weighed in at 45 kilos (99 lb) on a Ukranian television show. Soon, I’ll post pictures of her on the show’s scale (I’m still trying to find the video.) I find that an amazing weight for a girl of 5’9″ – and can hardly imagine the hard work it took to get there. Right now I’d say Snejana is about 105 pounds, and still looks very lovely and skinny. I wish I had been paying attention to her back when she was 99lbs, that would have been ultimate thinspo!
Thanks SkinnyGurl for posting Snejana Onopka as thinspo! She is one of my favorite models for so many reasons. She is beautiful and skinny! I hope you put up more posts of her in the future.
I love Snejana!, she’s been thinspo for me for ages, she is so pretty!
She’s beautiful and I love the fact that she’s ALWAYS been really skinny.
haha i love her. if you wanna see her beofre/after pictures, google: Bryan Boy snejana. its the first link
Wow, that’s a change – SO conclusion, girls: EVERYBODY CAN DO IT.
And another (given in sad conclusion) : Even no model can stay THAT thin for her whole life.
BUT: NEVER EVER STOP, girls! It’s SO worth it

O_o
She would make Sports Illustrated models look boney in her younger days.
Thank you sooo much, that’s actually really good thinspiration. X)
Wow! Not sure what I think of her, actually. 99 is a really low number for her height, and I hope she takes care of herself! She’s obviously super skinny, but way more blunt and forced than somebody like vlada or abbey or freja. I’ll have to keep an eye on her and come up with a sure opinion.
She was definitely SUPER skinny back in like 2007ish, and around then. I think she did it the normal model way unfortunately…..i.e. lots of smoking and coffee, probably throw in some cocaine, and BAM no appetite. Sounds easy I guess, but in reality, it’s not easy on your body
It’s a shame, it cuts models’ careers (and lives) a lot shorter. It is possible to get that thin in a healthy way and maintain it and be healthy, but unfortunately most models just don’t/can’t.
omg!!!!! we are talking about some serious change here…. it is true then, with hard work sleazy ‘n slimmy fat can get the *$%£ out of our bodies and lives!!!!!
Wow.. the close up pics of her face are soo gorgeous. As the saying goes… “she has legs for days!”
Thanks for showing the models stats. Weight can be so misleading. Im 5’10 and weigh 115 my measurements are 32-24-34.5 got any advice for me to get those down stat?
your stats are pretty good! I would say maybe eat less to get that stomach smaller to your waist measurement will go down… and maybe tone up your butt and get rid of some of the fat on it? I think that would work. your weight is great, btw!! you weigh 2 lb’s more than me and you’re 3 inches taller! nice! (;
Wow, you have the same stats as I do, Abbey! And you’re absolutely right about toning your butt/waist, it makes you look much thinner. When I’m at a lower body fat at this weight (like 5-7%), I look much closer to 100 lbs, but right now my BF is probably closer to 12-13%, so I look gross
Anyways, let us know if you lose any weight, and I’ll try to keep up with you, lol!
Thanks Im going to start running!
Fab pics of Snejana – beautiful. How about doing similar posts for Inna Pilipenko and Freja Beha Erichsen?
there is already a post like this for freja, but i don’t know about inna.
Thanks Abbey,I found the pics of Freja.
Anyways, as everyone knows, most of the top models out there are more pear shaped; their hip measurements are bigger than their bust. It’s interesting to see a model with a more hourglass shape. I have no preference for either–they all look great (: its just cool
5 and 7 are probably my favorites. her cheek bones are beautiful as well as her thighs in those tiny jeans on #7!!
What a coincidence, I was looking at Snejana for thinspo earlier today! Her legs in #13 are UNBELIEVABLE! (so jealous), and she looks adorable in #19.
..and she was born in the same city as me!!
She lost so much weight. I am her age and height but weight 65kg – I don’t even know where to start to become like her.
Stunning and amazing stats! such self control – inspiring…
Just clearing something up when it says 33 – 23 – 33 ,
Is it hips or bust 1st, I have been told both confused!
Bust (1st) – Waist (2) – Hips (3rd)
: )
Thank you!
She is so thin. He Bmi would be around 15.5 and an healthy Bmi is over 18.5…

OOOh my goodness. Perfection
[...] Thinspo, xylophoneFor this weeks Flashback Friday I wanted to highlight Snejana Onopka, who I did a model profile a while back. Snejana seems to be all over the place these days, however I find it fascinating to [...]
Oh my god. I will never wear jeans until my legs look as good as hers do in picture 11. NEVER.
Jeans DO NOT look good on fat people. God, I wish I had her body.
don’t we all wish that? :/
She’ll probably do it but do you guys do it too… Vomitting? I’v never tried it because I’m a bit scared, but should I try it? I’m curious if you guys do it and when, always when you’ve eaten something or only when you’ve had a major binge? Please tell me, what should I do? x
no, i say never do it, it will become a habit and you’ll get yourself binging more because you’ll know you can just throw it up later. it messes up your body so much and your teeth and throat will suffer especially.
if i ever binge i just think of what made me do it and normally i exercise and drink lots of water afterwards and everytime i feel like binging i just think of how horrible i felt afterwards, like bloatin and just disappointed.
i wouldnt make myself throw and please dont you do it either, for health
Oké, thanks for your help! I was thinking I shouldn’t do it!But I have lost weight but I still have this tummy and I can’t get rid of it! It’s really frustrating! Because the ‘upperhalf’ of my belly is kinda skinny but the lowerpart is kind of a mess
any tips?
I am Ukrainian myself and to be honest with you guys it is not that difficult to stay skinny in Ukraine. You are working out all day every day by running up and down the hills of Kiev or any other city for that matter. The food is not genetically engineered in Ukraine, so it does not make you fat! people eat what they cook at home
Snejana does not live in Ukraine full time any more but even abroad good habits stay with you
