About Shlomit Malka

Shlomit Malka (Hebrew: שלומית מלכה; born 23 December 1993) is an Israeli fashion model and television personality. Born in Rehovot, Israel, she grew up in Kiryat Ekron and is of Moroccan Jewish and Ukrainian Jewish descent. Earlier in her modeling career she was sometimes credited as Shiloh Malka. She speaks Hebrew, English and Russian.
Malka was discovered by a modeling agent through photographs posted on Facebook while completing her compulsory service in the Israel Defense Forces. She served as an instructor with Yahalom, a special forces unit of the Combat Engineering Corps, and received permission from the military to undertake modeling assignments while continuing her service. Her early international work included campaigns for Ralph Lauren, Armani, L'Oréal and Schwarzkopf. In 2013, Forbes Israel ranked her among the ten highest-earning models in the country.
Her international profile increased substantially in 2015 when she became the face of the Italian lingerie brand Intimissimi. She subsequently appeared in campaigns and fashion projects for brands including Roberto Cavalli, Armani, Ralph Lauren, Pomellato, Maybelline, Chanel, H&M, Red Valentino and Ba&sh. Her editorial work has included appearances in publications such as Harper's Bazaar, Elle, Marie Claire, Grazia, Glamour and Cosmopolitan. She has been represented by modeling agencies in major fashion markets including Paris, Milan and London.
In addition to modeling, Malka has worked in Israeli television and other media projects. In 2017, she married Israeli actor and model Yehuda Levi; the couple separated in 2021. That same year, Malka suffered a serious head injury in a scooter accident in Tel Aviv and was hospitalized in critical condition before making a full recovery. She has since continued working internationally as a fashion and commercial model, with professional representation and editorial work extending into the 2020s.
As of December 2023, she has amassed 392,000 followers on Instagram.
