Kristina Pimenova gained recognition as the ‘most beautiful girl globally’ at the tender age of nine due to her striking blue eyes and long, blonde hair. Despite her rapid rise to fame, some criticized the photos of the young schoolgirl as ‘disturbing.’
Hailing from Moscow, Russia, Kristina started her modeling career at just three years old, garnering attention on social media through pictures posted by her mother, Glikeriya Pimenova. While facing backlash for allegedly ‘sexualizing’ her daughter, Glikeriya defended the innocence of the images, emphasizing that Kristina’s poses were natural and spontaneous.
Despite the controversy, Kristina went on to work with renowned fashion brands like Vogue, Armani, Burberry, and Dolce & Gabbana. Now 19 years old, she is pursuing studies at a drama school and has appeared in various films in Russia, including The Russian Bride, Secret Neighbour, and Creators: The Past.
Expressing gratitude for her early fame, Kristina reflects on her modeling journey, stating it felt like a natural progression from childhood play. While she continues to model, her primary focus lies on acting, as highlighted in her Instagram bio: “Remember, beauty is inside.”
Before Kristina’s fame, Thylane Blondeau was dubbed ‘the most beautiful little girl in the world’ at age six during her collaboration with Jean Paul Gaultier. Thylane later worked with prestigious brands such as Dolce and Gabbana, Ralph Lauren, L’Oreal, Chanel, and Versace.
Criticism surrounded Thylane’s Vogue Enfant feature for its perceived sexualization, defended by her mother, Veronica Loubry, who focused on the luxurious necklace worn in the shoot. Now a 24-year-old model and actress from Aix-en-Provence, France, Thylane has ventured into her own fashion label, Heaven May, and a cosmetics brand, Enalyht.
