Emily Bedazzle brings an effortlessly cool, free-spirited energy to Nalu Bay Swimwear that feels both powerful and playful.
Originally from Oahu, Hawaii and now based in Las Vegas, Emily (@emilybedazzle) loves being a Nalu Babe for the incredible sense of community it creates. To her, Nalu Bay is about more than just swimwear, it’s about representing a brand where beautiful, supportive women come together, uplift one another, and celebrate individuality. The bikinis themselves are cute, unique, and bold, and Emily is genuinely proud to represent a brand that aligns so closely with who she is.
Staying active is a huge part of Emily’s lifestyle, especially when it comes to preparing for modeling. She trains in Muay Thai, flexibility, dancing, and wrestling, embracing movement as both discipline and expression. Outside of training, she cherishes spending time with her adorable rescue dog, Pumpkin, who brings so much joy into her everyday life. Emily also loves traveling, watching sunsets at the beach, and exploring new places, always chasing moments that feel alive, grounding, and inspiring.
Dance has always been at the heart of Emily’s story. As a child, her dream job was to be a dancer, a passion that naturally led her toward performance and the runway. That early love for movement shaped her confidence and stage presence, laying the foundation for a career that thrives on expression, strength, and authenticity.
If Emily had to describe herself in three words, they would be tiny, powerful, and authentic. That balance perfectly captures her essence, someone who may be small in stature but carries undeniable strength, confidence, and presence. She stays true to herself in every space she enters, allowing her authenticity to shine through both on and off the runway.
When it comes to inspiration, Emily looks to nature, especially the ocean, for grounding and clarity. The vastness of the sea reminds her to slow down, stay present, and appreciate the world around her. She’s also deeply inspired by animals, whose purity and instinctive way of living offer constant lessons in authenticity, resilience, and being fully in the moment.
One of Emily’s proudest accomplishments was winning the Professional Dance Sport Championships, a milestone that reflected years of dedication, discipline, and passion. She also holds her degree close to her heart, recognizing it as a powerful reminder that commitment and consistency can lead to incredible achievements. These moments continue to motivate her to push forward and grow in every area of her life.
Looking ahead, Emily hopes to continue evolving as a model, with a special focus on runway work, her favorite space to perform. There’s something magical about the runway that fuels her passion and allows her confidence to fully come alive. A fun fact that makes Emily truly unique is the duality she embraces, she’s both a model and a wrestler, blending elegance with strength in a way that defies labels. Her advice to younger readers is simple yet powerful: stay true and authentic to who you are. Trust your instincts, embrace your uniqueness, and never be afraid to shine in your own way, authenticity will always attract the right opportunities.
