Check below everything you need to know about Yael Shelbia, the most beautiful woman in the world, as well as interesting facts and her complete biography.
The most beautiful woman in the world
Born in Nahariya, Israel, on August 31, 2001, Yael Shelbia Cohen is an Israeli model and actress. She has appeared in numerous international fashion campaigns. In the years 2018 and 2019, she was listed as the 3rd and 2nd most beautiful face in the world, respectively. Soon after, in 2020, she achieved the title of most beautiful model in the world. Likewise, she was named Model of the Year by At Magazine.
Yael’s life
Daughter of Ofra and Ofer Cohen, Yael comes from a family that adheres to Orthodox Judaism, and the model has 2 sisters and 2 brothers. Her middle name, Shelbia, is used as her professional name, derived from her great-grandmother’s Tunisian-Jewish family. According to them, her name would be able to protect her against the evil eye. From her 16th birthday onwards, Yael started posting photos of herself on her Instagram, which led to her receiving an offer from photographer Marina Moskowitz to take professional photos.
Furthermore, Yael attended a religious Ulpana school, that is, for girls only. In this sense, her modeling career was not well regarded by the school, something that led to many controversies and opposition from Ulpana. The school even threatened to send a letter to the Israeli Minister of Education to expel her. However, after consulting him, they allowed her to continue her studies and career, but with some rules.
In this sense, modeling and following a religious lifestyle caused some difficulties for Yael, such as the fact that she needed to wear modest clothes. Likewise, food could be a problem. During a campaign in Milan, the girl had to eat only crackers for 4 days, as she was unable to find food that was kosher, that is, suitable for Jewish dietary laws. She has lost several contracts for following Shabbat and her clothing choices.
In 2019, Yael began dating businessman Brandon Korff, son of Rabbi Yitzhak Aharon Korff, and great-grandson of billionaire Sumner Redstone.
Career of the most beautiful woman in the world
Currently, Yael has more than 1 million followers on Instagram and her career is taking off both in Israel and Europe. She has been compared to famous models such as Shlomit Malka, Sofia Mechetner and Dorit Revelis. She is still the face of campaigns such as “FINNEY”, by Sirin Lab, alongside celebrity Lionel Messi. In 2019, Yael became the face of Kylie Jenner’s Biotic Skincare campaign.
Likewise, today, the model still stars in the Israeli TV series Palmach on the Teen Nick channel. The drama is an adventure that takes place in 1946, two years before the founding of the State of Israel. In it, a seemingly innocent training center is actually a recruitment base for extraordinary young people. Furthermore, Shelbia plays the character Ruth.
