In a world where glamour often overshadows depth, Valeriya Vergunova stands as a powerful reminder that beauty becomes meaningful only when it is paired with purpose. A professional model and actress from Amsterdam, now based in Dubai, Valeriya has dedicated more than 15 years to building a career that blends artistry, discipline, spirituality, and empowerment.
Her journey is nothing short of extraordinary. With over 300 international publications, more than 5,000 shoots, and an impressive portfolio that spans commercials, TV reality series, campaigns, presenting, short films, workshops, live streaming shows, music videos, and green-screen productions, Valeriya has earned her place as one of the industry’s most consistent, versatile, and respected creative forces.
But beyond her global success in fashion and entertainment, she carries a title that represents far more than a crown—Beauty Queen of The Netherlands, a symbol of grace, strength, and leadership. Through pageantry, she discovered a deeper mission: to uplift, inspire, and guide others, especially the younger generation entering the modeling world.
A Multi-Talented Force With Global Influence
Valeriya is much more than what meets the eye. As a model coach, she has shaped and mentored countless young talents who dream of entering the fashion world. She shares not just lessons on posing, presence, or confidence—but the mindset and resilience needed to succeed.

Healing, Humanity & the Power of Purpose
Among her many roles, the one closest to her heart is being a loving mother to her daughter, Alina. Motherhood deepened her connection to spirituality, which eventually led her to sound healing—a passion that evolved into a mission.
Through her brand Reborn.Yourself, Valeriya hosts sound healing workshops and retreats in Dubai and internationally. Playing crystal singing bowls, she creates transformative spaces where people can reconnect with themselves, share spiritual insights, and find clarity through mindful experiences.
To her, healing is not a trend—it is a responsibility. It is the ability to help someone rediscover who they are beneath the noise of the world.
A Heart Devoted to Giving Back
Valeriya has been actively involved in charity for many years, always choosing to use her platform for good. She believes true impact is measured by the lives you touch, not the titles you earn.
“My heart melts every time I see the tears of happiness of kids we’ve helped. I believe media is a powerful tool—and it’s your responsibility how you use it. The new world starts with the new steps you take. Be the difference you want to see in the world.” — Valeriya
Her philosophy is simple but profound: Actions speak louder than words. Influence is a duty. And beauty is powerful only when it inspires.
The Legacy She’s Building
Today, Valeriya Vergunova represents a rare blend of inner strength and outer elegance. Her life is an example of what happens when ambition is combined with wisdom, when career meets compassion, and when an individual rises not just for themselves, but for everyone watching.
She teaches that the true “best version of yourself” is achieved not through perfection, but through growth, self-awareness, and the courage to show up authentically in the world.
An icon. A mentor. A mother. A woman who lives her purpose with grace.
