Ivana earlier denied reports that she had promised to strip naked if her team wins the tournament.
The German-born brunette, who was wearing a Croatian flag at the time, was reported as saying: “If that happens, the flag falls…”
But Ivana, who has taken the Qatar competition by storm with her racy red-and-white outfits, has since denied that she would bare all for her country.
Taking to her Instagram story, Ivana wrote in a mixture of English, Croatian, and German: “Fake news! The lies of the media. I don’t take off my shirt if Croatia wins the championship.”

She went on: “I will not get naked if Croatia wins the World Cup. Thank you!”
It comes as Ivana celebrated reaching two million followers on Instagram, just eight days after she hit the one million milestone.
“Thank you so so much! Love you all.” she posted on her Instagram story.
Ivana also trolled Brazil’s Richarlison, after Croatia knocked the five-times World Cup champions out in the Quarter-Finals on penalties.
Imitating the Spurs striker’s signature pigeon dance, she accompanied the video with the savage message: “Do your pigeon dance on your way back home.”
Ivana was in the stadium to watch her team knock out Brazil, setting up a mouth-watering semi-final clash with Lionel Messi’s Argentina on Tuesday at 7pm.
But her outfits haven’t gone over well with everyone in the World Cup host nation, where both men and women are expected to cover up.
Ivana designs and sells her own bikinis, swimsuits, and other revealing clothing, all in the distinctive red-and-white chequerboard pattern of the Croatian flag.
She previously made a splash at the 2018 World Cup in Russia where her outfits were noticed.
Ivana claimed she wasn’t aware of the rules on clothing in Qatar, saying: “First I was thinking if the World Cup is happening there, they for sure will allow everything to make it comfortable for all fans without any of their restrictions.
“Then I heard about the rules and I was shocked. In the dress code, you’re forbidden from showing your shoulders, knees, belly and neck.
“I was like, ‘OMG, I don’t even have clothes covering that all’.”
She went viral recently when two men were caught sneakily snapping Ivana as she walked past them in the stadium.
But she told host Piers Morgan on TalkTV that she had encountered no problems with her outfit choices in Qatar, and even had families with children asking to take pictures with her.
