Last month, the former Miss Croatia sparked controversy and made international headlines for her decision to wear revealing outfits during the men's FIFA World Cup - despite Qatar's strict dress codes.
As previously reported Ivana Knoll - who has over 780,000 followers on Instagram - decided to wear a hooded red and white checked dress with a low-cut v-neck after she became displeased with the Gulf state's strict modesty regulations that women are expected to adhere to.
The 26-year-old influencer posted an image of the outfit to her Instagram, later revealing that officials are "not making any problems" for her despite the revealing outfit, per The Independent.
For her country's second fixture against Canada, Knoll chose to wear a red and white skater dress with off-the-shoulder sleeves, as well as posted various images of herself donning bikinis and swimsuits in the same print.
At the time, Knoll's outfit made headlines, with one certain image of her outfit going viral on Twitter. The image - in which the young model is wearing a checkered bikini top with red leggings complete with a checkered waistband - shows Knoll walking down the stadium stairs with several men taking images of her.
The image was posted on Twitter with the caption: "Men will be men."
However, all was allegedly not what it seemed, according to Qatari businessman Mohammed Hassan Al-Jefairi.
Replying to the image, Al-Jefairi - who is one of the minds behind a robot to help deaf children learn sign language - wrote: "Just for your info they take a photo not because they like her but because they don't like the way she is miss dressed on regards to our culture.
"You can confirm this with any local Qatari. Probably to report it."
Several users made jokes about the tweet, with one person replying with a zoomed in image of one of the men and writing: "Yeah, he hates it don't he."
Doha Guides published a guided that focused on dress codes in Qatar, especially for foreign women. It states that: "Female visitors are expected to dress modestly and keep everything from shoulders to knees covered [...] Skirts and shorts are normal, but try not to wear anything too high or skimpy."
"Wearing spaghetti straps, see-through blouses and transparent clothes are not normal," the guide adds, going on to explain that "sleeveless tank tops and tight capris" are "not normal". The guide also recommends that if female visitors feel like an item of clothing may be "too short," then they should "wear leggings underneath."
Knoll has since stated that she's been "surprised" at what the authorities have allowed her and others to wear - adding that she has been allowed to wear whatever she desired, except in designated areas such as government buildings.
