Kira Dikhtyar Bio
Kira Dikhtyar is a Russian Glamour and nude model. She was born on March 17, 1995, in Moscow, Russia. She appeared in an international edition of Playboy in July 2015 at 20. Her appearance came during Playboy's contemporary era of international and digital publishing.
Dikhtyar has natural breasts, hazel eyes and black hair. Her measurements are 34-24-34.
Kira Dikhtyar came to modeling from the demanding world of competitive rhythmic gymnastics. She represented the Russian Federation internationally and earned the title of Master of Sports at just fourteen, combining athletic training with strong academic performance. She later studied geopolitics at Moscow State University before making a decisive move into fashion.
At seventeen, Dikhtyar relocated to the United States to pursue modeling, beginning the next stage of her career in Los Angeles. She went on to work with prominent photographers including Bruce Weber, Ellen von Unwerth, Patrick Demarchelier and Rankin, while her fashion portfolio included appearances in publications such as Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar and Elle.
Television and acting broadened that career further. Dikhtyar competed on the modeling reality series The Face and later appeared in projects including Making the Day and Model Moms. She also moved behind the camera as an entrepreneur, establishing the production company 90-60-90 to work on fashion-event coverage and music videos.
Her athletic background became particularly relevant when photographer Victoria Janashvili photographed Dikhtyar for Playboy in 2015. The pictorial used movement and brightly colored body paint to connect her experience as a gymnast with her work as a model. “To be a gymnast, you need to be very artistic, very creative and work really, really hard,” she told Playboy. She approached modeling with a similar philosophy, aiming to make carefully controlled movement appear natural and effortless.
The photographs appeared in the June 2015 issue of Playboy and were subsequently presented to the Playboy Plus audience that summer. For Dikhtyar, the shoot brought together two careers that might otherwise have seemed very different. Years of rhythmic gymnastics had taught her discipline, flexibility and an awareness of movement; fashion modeling taught her how to translate those qualities for the camera. Her Playboy feature made that connection the centerpiece of the pictorial.
