About Anastasia Kostromitina

Anastasia Kostromitina is a Russian fashion model who became an internet sensation in July 2026 because of her striking resemblance to Norwegian footballer Erling Haaland.

The viral attention began after her mother, influencer Mariya Kostromitina (also known online as Mariya Kos), posted a video comparing Anastasia's appearance to Haaland's. The clip quickly spread across Instagram and other social media platforms, accumulating tens of millions of views. Initially, she said she disliked being compared to a male footballer and even found the comments upsetting. Later, she decided to embrace the joke, recreating some of Haaland's signature poses and celebrations in videos, which only increased her popularity. She has also said she hopes to meet Haaland one day and take a selfie with him.

She is represented by the Moscow-based MOTION modeling agency. She has worked as a commercial fashion model for brands including Dyson, Uniqlo, and Clarins before going viral.

Before modeling, she was a competitive tennis player, beginning training around age four.

Russian biographical sources report that she has been in a long-term relationship with Leonid Zorenkov.
