Meet Nalu Babe Ava Rose Louis
At just 22 years old, Ava Rose Louis (@ava_rose_louis_) is already carving out her space in the world of fashion and modeling.
Hailing from St. Michaels, Maryland, and splitting her time between Maryland and Florida, Ava brings a fresh and passionate energy to everything she does. Whether she’s hitting the gym, riding horses, or helping animals in need, Ava’s commitment to living a purposeful and dynamic life shines through. And when it comes to her career, this determined young model has set her sights on some big dreams—one of which includes walking in Miami Swim Week. We caught up with Ava to talk about her journey, her love for Nalu Bay Swimwear, and the future she’s building.
For Ava, Nalu Bay Swimwear has been a dream partnership. “Working with Nalu Bay Swimwear has been an incredible experience,” she says. “I’ve always loved stylish, high-quality swimwear, and Nalu Bay delivers that effortlessly. Their designs are not only fashionable but also comfortable and confidence-boosting.” What truly stands out to Ava, though, is the brand’s core message. “It’s amazing to work with a brand that aligns with my style and values,” she adds. “I feel truly supported in sharing my passion for fashion and lifestyle.”
When she’s not modeling, Ava stays active and engaged in her passions. Fitness is a huge part of her lifestyle—she starts each morning with a lifting session or Pilates to stay strong, focused, and energized for the day ahead. “Staying consistent with my workouts is important to me, not just for the physical benefits but also for the discipline and confidence it builds,” Ava says. Her love for nature is also evident in her passion for horseback riding, which gives her the perfect opportunity to connect with the outdoors.
But Ava isn’t just about fitness and fashion. She’s also deeply committed to giving back. “I dedicate a lot of time to my mother’s animal rescue, helping care for and find homes for animals in need,” she shares. Ava’s mother, who’s dedicated her life to rescuing horses, has been a major inspiration for her. “Watching her dedicate herself to rescuing and caring for horses has shown me what true passion and perseverance look like,” Ava says. “Her rescue work has deepened my appreciation for animals and the importance of giving back.”
One of Ava’s proudest accomplishments is graduating from college. “Earning my degree was a journey filled with hard work, perseverance, and personal growth,” she shares. It was a major milestone that taught her the value of resilience and determination. Looking ahead, Ava has big goals for her modeling career, and one dream stands out above the rest: “Making it to Miami Swim Week is my ultimate goal,” she says. “It’s about more than just modeling—it’s about pushing myself, embracing new opportunities, and proving that hard work and passion can turn dreams into reality.”
Beyond her ambitions in the modeling world, Ava also has a love for animals. “I’ve helped my mother rescue all animals from wounded deer to abandoned sheep,” she shares. Whether it’s learning new things through her internship at a law office or dreaming big about the future, Ava is always striving to grow and evolve.
Her advice for younger followers? It’s simple and powerful: “Never give up on your dreams! Don’t let fear, setbacks, or negative voices stop you. Trust yourself, keep pushing forward, and always believe that your dreams are worth fighting for.”
