Meet Nalu Babe Diana Lysenko
Introducing Diana Lysenko—known on Instagram as @ddalekss—a calm, creative spirit with roots in Europe and a heart full of wanderlust.
Having recently moved to the U.S., Diana brings a touch of artistic grace and effortless elegance to everything she does. From painting in Europe to modeling in her new home, she’s on a journey of self-discovery and feminine empowerment—and we’re lucky to have her as part of the Nalu Bay Swimwear family.
For Diana, being a Nalu Babe isn’t just about looking good—it’s about feeling good, too. “Nalu Bay Swimwear gives such a feminine, girlish vibe,” she shares. “It feels like endless summer—chill and fun. Being a Nalu Babe is a pleasant opportunity to be part of a family of beautiful women.” That dreamy, soft energy is something Diana embodies effortlessly, both on and off camera.
Her free time is a perfect balance of movement and mindfulness. Whether she's horseback riding, enjoying water sports, or simply spending time in nature, Diana stays grounded by connecting to her body and surroundings. “I love activities and chill,” she says. “I used to be a painting artist in Europe, and now I’m finding new ways to express myself through art here in the U.S.” Modeling is one of those new avenues, and she’s embracing it with a quiet kind of power.
As a child, Diana dreamed of being an artist—and not just a visual one, but a creator of beauty in every form. She also envisioned herself as a model, and now, that dream is taking shape. Calm, creative, and understanding, Diana’s energy is deeply feminine and quietly magnetic. And her biggest inspiration? Princess Diana, of course. “Her combination of feminine energy, strength of character, and huge heart full of kindness can’t be not inspiring,” she says. “My dad gave me this name because of her.”
While she’s still discovering the milestones that will define her journey, Diana already considers finding her perfect place to live a major personal win. After traveling the world and exploring countless paths, she’s finally found a place that feels like home—and now, she’s ready to grow her roots. “Soon we’ll all see where this goes,” she smiles, hinting at big things to come.
Her vision for her modeling career includes both fashion and commercial work, and there’s no doubt she’ll bring a signature grace to every shoot. Whether she's posing in dreamy swimwear or walking into casting calls with her loyal Pomeranian by her side (yes—he goes everywhere with her!), Diana’s aesthetic is already unforgettable. Her pup isn’t just part of her brand—he’s her “lovely son,” and a true companion on this journey.
To young girls looking up to her, Diana offers this gentle but powerful advice: “Do what you want and never do what you don’t.” It’s a mantra she lives by—reminding us all to stay true to ourselves, let go of what no longer serves us, and chase the kind of life that feels as good as it looks.
