May Andersen Bio
May Andersen is a Danish-born glamour and fashion model. She was born as Lykke May Andersen on June 16, 1982 in Copenhagen, Denmark. Her zodiac sign is gemini.
In May 2012, May Andersen brought her signature glamour and star appeal to Playboy.
May Andersen has humble natural breasts, sparkling blue eyes, and luminous blond hair. With a sensually shaped 32-24-34 frame, she's a true embodiment of Playboy allure.
May Andersen brings a cool, international fashion glamour to the Playboy archive — Danish, statuesque, and shaped by the rare world where runway elegance, swimwear fantasy, and downtown art culture meet. Her beauty has always carried that editorial edge: long-limbed, confident, slightly aloof, and built for cameras that prefer attitude as much as perfection.
She became best known for her work with Victoria’s Secret and the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, two pillars of modern glamour modeling that require very different kinds of presence. Victoria’s Secret demanded polish, femininity, and runway confidence, while Sports Illustrated celebrated sunlit sensuality, athletic ease, and the magnetic simplicity of a woman who can own a beach, a lens, and a moment without trying too hard.
But May Andersen was never only a swimsuit or lingerie model. Her connection to the New York art world gave her image another layer. She was once assistant director of The Hole, the Manhattan gallery known for its contemporary edge and downtown energy. That detail makes her Playboy story more interesting: May belonged not only to fashion and men’s magazines, but also to the creative spaces where image, performance, beauty, and art constantly cross paths.
Her Playboy moment arrived with the May 2012 issue, where she appeared on the cover and stepped into the magazine’s glamour tradition with the confidence of a woman already fluent in fashion photography. On April 19, 2012, she held a signing for that Playboy cover at The Hole Gallery in Manhattan, creating a perfect collision between two worlds: the polished fantasy of Playboy and the sharper, art-world atmosphere of downtown New York.
What makes May Andersen memorable is the balance of sophistication and heat. She could belong to Victoria’s Secret, Sports Illustrated, Playboy, and an art gallery without seeming out of place in any of them. In the Playboy archive, May stands as a fashion-world muse with a downtown pulse — elegant, sensual, worldly, and cool enough to make glamour feel like contemporary art.
