Simona has been spotted pitchside on presenting duties in a range of bold outfits at the Euros so far.
Her 206,000 Instagram followers have been in for a treat as she wowed in a stylish white dress before Slovakia 's 1-0 defeat to Italy on Saturday.
Simona, who has been called the "Queen of Europe" by fans, takes fans behind-the-scenes with several glam selfies of her from in and around the tunnel.
Her partner, who is Napoli star Stanislav Lobotka, even joined her for a recent game.
She posted a cute snap of the midfielder kissing her on the cheek alongside the caption: "We support each other in our work. I'm glad you're here."
Lobotka played 32 times last season as he helped Napoli to the Serie A title.
Before moving into the world of football reporting, Simona was a model.
She was a finalist in the Miss Slovakia contest ten years ago.
On her unique career path, Simona said in an interview last year: "I have been working for the Slovak Football Federation for three years, I started with the Under-21 team.
"They were a good side, I got used to them, and last September I moved on to working with the first-team.
"Some people told me that a woman from a modelling background would not make it in football.
"But several years have since passed, those people who laughed at me now want to take pictures with me.
"You may just see a pretty face, but I've been through a lot of hard times to get where I am now.
"There are still a lot of goals I want to achieve.
"I learned a lot about football, despite the fact that people thought I wasn't good enough.
"When you work hard and follow your dreams, anything is possible."

EXCLUSIVE Paris Hilton lays bare 'painful' aftermath of leaked sex tape that was filmed when she was only 19 YEARS OLD
Paris Hilton got emotional as she opened up about the 'painful' aftermath of her infamous leaked sex tape... admitting that her then-boyfriend's brutal betrayal will affect her the 'rest of her life.' During a recent sit-down with Louis Theroux at Spotify Beach in Cannes, France, for Cannes Lions 2025, the former reality star, 44, laid bare the 'heartbreak and devastation' that she endured after her now-ex Rick Salomon shared intimate footage of them making love back in 2003. She had filmed the video with Rick two years prior when she was only 19 years old. 'It was the most painful experience I've ever been through in my life,' Paris reflected during the event on Monday. 'To trust somebody and have them put something out in the world that no one was supposed to see... and then to have people judge me based on one night with someone I trusted... that's something that will affect me for the rest of my life.' The blonde beauty said the public scrutiny over the tape was 'heartbreaking and devastating,' especially because it came right before the release of her reality show The Simple Life. 'Back then, the media, the public, everyone was just so cruel to me. It was so heartbreaking and devastating,' she continued. 'I had worked so hard and I wanted to be respected, I was about to come out with my reality show and then all of a sudden this happened to me.' Paris pointed out that now, it is illegal to release sex tapes without the explicit consent of the individuals involved in California. 'Today, that would be illegal. Back then, it wasn't [looked at] that way and I was vilified for it. I was just a teenage girl,' she said. 'Looking back on it, it was one of the most painful things but to know today it's illegal if it happens to other girls, maybe things need to happen to certain people for it to change for others and I try to see it in that way.' Paris previously explained in her 2023 book Paris: The Memoir that she felt 'weird and uncomfortable' about filming herself and Rick 'making love,' but claimed that he ultimately pressured her into doing it. 'He had often said it was something he did with other women, but I felt weird and uncomfortable about it. I always told him, "I can't. It's too embarrassing,"' she wrote. 'He told me if I wouldn't do it, he could easily find someone who would, and that was the worst thing I could think of – to be dumped by this grown man because I was a stupid kid who didn't know how to play grown-up games. 'The truth is, I wanted to be alive in a sensual way. I wanted to feel like a woman who's comfortable in her own skin.' She said he vowed that 'no one else would ever see it,' and insisted that she would never 'under any circumstances be involved in the production of an amateur teen porn video.' 'It was the most painful experience I've ever been through in my life,' Paris reflected during the event on Monday 'If this was something I had chosen to do, I would have owned it,' she stated. 'I would have stood tall in my Louboutins and said, "Yup, that was my choice." 'I would have stood by it, capitalized on it, licensed the f**k out of every frame, and then boogied on over to the bank without apologizing to anyone.' Elsewhere during her sit-down with Louis, Paris took a brutal swipe at Donald Trump... years after she 'pretended' she voted for him. Paris famously showed her support for Trump back in 2016 after the election, stating at the time, 'I've known him since I was a little girl, so, yes [I voted for him].' However, in her memoir years later, she claimed that she had lied about casting her vote for Trump because he was 'an old family friend,' but hadn't actually voted at all. During her interview with British podcast host Louis on Monday, he asked the star what her relationship was like with Trump. 'I only knew him when I was a teenager in New York, that was a long time ago,' Paris explained. 'What was the vibe [back then] - friendly? Warm? Orange?' Louis jokingly went on. Paris then responded with a dig at the businessman-turned-politician's famously over-tanned skin. 'He probably could have used a new spray tanner,' she said with a laugh.

Revealed: Chelsea set to raid France AGAIN as Blues boss Enzo Maresca eyes up exciting 20-year-old winger
Chelsea have once again been linked with a signing from Ligue 1 with Lyon winger Malick Fofana the latest youngster in their sights. Fofana, 20, has been the subject of discussions between Chelsea and the French club although no formal offer has been submitted, according to reports. The latest interest comes after Chelsea were recently linked with Lorient midfielder Arthur Avom. According to French outlet l'Équipe, Fofana is under contract until 2028 but a significant offer could tempt Lyon into cashing in. Born in Belgium, the winger scored six times and provided 11 assists in 41 appearances last season across Ligue 1, the Europa League and the French Cup. Fofana joined Lyon from Belgian side Gent for a fee of €19.5million (£16.6m) in January 2024. He has been capped once by his native Belgium having first earned a call-up last October. Chelsea are interested in signing a right-footed winger in the summer window and made an offer of around £42m for Borussia Dortmund star Jamie Gittens. The Bundesliga outfit rejected the bid but the Blues are expected to increase their offer. Enzo Maresca's side have already signed striker Liam Delap from Ipswich after triggering his £30m release clause. The Blues are in action in the Club World Cup, taking on LAFC in their first game on Monday.
