Irena Drézi (born 1996) is a Czech-Irish plus-sized model,[1][2] television presenter,[3] influencer and singer.[4][5] As a singer she has collaborated with hip-hop duo Mango X Mathman,[6] and Daryl Bengo.[7]
Background
Born in Czechia, her family claimed asylum in Ireland when she was four years old.[8] She lived in Athlone's direct provision centre before becoming a professional model.[8][9]
Modelling
Drezi is a size 16 model.[10][11] In 2019 a post by PrettyLittleThing.com showing Drezi's unaltered pictures went viral because of its promotion of a natural looking larger lady.[12][13] She has worked for Primark, Boohoo.com, Missguided and Fashion Nova.[8][14]
In February 2023, Drezi presented 'Love, Style, Repeat', a fashion programme, with actress Sophie Vavasseur, for Virgin Media Two.[3][15]
