There are dozens of headlines around today talking about a model dubbed “the most beautiful girl in the world”.
They’re not talking about a Victoria’s Secret Model, Angelina Jolie or Megan Gale.
Instead, they’re referring to a pre-pubescent Russian child called Kristina Pimenova — who, at nine years old, is already raking in serious money as a supermodel.
Kristina has already graced the cover of Vogue Bambini and walked the catwalk for several designers, and she has more than two million followers on Facebook.
She also has nearly 300,000 followers on Instagram — and her very own YouTube channel featuring a video slideshow of her photos from toddler age onwards.
The tiny girls’ booming career has sparked controversy on social media — with commenters voicing concerns over “sexualised” poses and outfits, which feature miniskirts and leotards.

“Let her be a child , she is being exposed to creepy men,” Natalie Henderson posted to the Today show Facebook page.

no, my friends lil girl is The Most Beautiful girl in the world. you should see her. so sweet and innocent
That picture of her tying her shoelace didn't even register on my radar - I was too busy looking at that awesome shiny hair to think about the pose. I don't see why some find it inappropriate, it's not shot from behind, she's fully clothed, everything covered up. She doesn't look sexualized to me at all - but I am not a pedophile. Remember, pedophiles find the most innocent of child poses sexual. There's really nothing we can do about that. Creepers gonna creep. As long as we keep lines of communication open with our children & get those convicted on the offender list, that's as much as we can do. And supervise, supervise, supervise your kids! I used to ninja mom my son when he played in the neighborhood, but he never knew I was there - supervision without the subjective helicopter parent experience. In retrospect if anyone saw me peeking around corners, LOL. That aside, this girl is beautiful, but I have seen many, many children as beautiful as her from all ethnic backgrounds and genders, so I don't see how she gets the label "most beautiful girl in the world" or how that is helpful to her or other girls who will compare their facial features to her "most beautiful" ones to see where they fall short. Ok, that's enough babbling.
