A five year-old girl from Nigeria has just become a viral sensation, as many are calling her the most beautiful girl in the world.

Photographer Mofe Bamuyiwa took to Instagram to share photos of Jare Ijalana on Instagram last week, and they immediately went viral. Comments have been pouring in praising Jare as “beautiful,” “absolutely stunning,” and “doll-like.”

The three photos have already garnered 70,000 likes on Instagram, and it isn’t hard to see why.

J A R E @the_j3_sisters CHILDREN ARE A GIFT FROM HEAVEN. I’m pretty excited and elated about my new style of child portraiture . Before I thought of Photographing the @the_j3_sisters , I have had frivolous ideas of how I can make artsy portraits of kids And do away from the norm . The opportunity came and I had to take a bold step to express my ideas of how I want to take portraits of kids. I want to portray the interception between her childhood and adulthood so both stay timeless !

“I want to portray the interception between her childhood and adulthood so both stay timeless!” Bamuyiwa captioned one of the images. “I could have made her smile and make her laugh out loud but I put her in their natural moments for us to see through their eyes!”

“Jare isn’t a professional model,” Bamuyiwai explained. “All I want is for everyone to see Jare’s powerful potential. … I want the photo to speak to her when she has reached her adulthood.”

Oh yes she’s human ! She’s also an angel ! “J A R E “ I want to portray the interception between her childhood and adulthood so both stay timeless ! I could have made her smile and make her laugh out loud but I put her in their natural moments for us to see through their eyes ! Posing them as adults ! Was my trick to create it a timeless portrait ! J A R E , when you clock 21 remember to do same pose and style TEAM Muse : @the_j3_sisters Make up by Dammy of @iposhlooks Creative style direction @mofebamuyiwa Hair by @totalshopwigs Hair styled by @hairkarved Styled by @styledbyseun Assisted by @adebimpe_aj @ernest_chuxx @official_bigjosh #bmbstudio #bmbphotography #mofebamuyiwa #kids #kidsphotography #artsy #love #light #childphotographer #familyphotography

Bamuyiwai has also photographed Jare’s older sisters Joba, 10, and Jomi, 7, and he says that they have also have “striking features and strong characters.”

“Asides [sic] that [Jomi] is bright and beautiful, she is very coordinated and every pose directed , she did better than I told her to do. She definitely has buttressed and given me more proof that every little girl dreams of being a woman,” Bamuyiwai wrote in the caption of her photo.

BEAUTIFUL ART WORK OF J O M I of the @the_j3_sisters The elder sister of J A R E When I was a child I always wanted to wear my Mum’s shoes , cloths and do all she did as a woman . I wasn’t afraid of being that woman , though I wasn’t aware , nothing scared me of the cost it would take to be a woman . “I WAS FEARLESS AS A CHILD “ I’m sure every girl has gone through this stage and can totally relate . Meeting Jomi of the @the_j3_sisters Was more inspiring . Asides that she is bright and beautiful , she is very coordinated and every pose directed , she did better than I told her to do . She definitely has buttressed and given me more proof that every little girl dreams of being a woman . I guess was looking for a platform to showcase her inner woman !!! Photography is my little way of expressing my thoughts than in words and so I am not the best curator of my work . Be inspired #bmbstudio #artsy #artwork #photography #kidsphotography #childphotographer #love #girl #mofebamuyiwa

This isn’t the first time a young girl has been called the most beautiful in the world. French model Thylane Blondeau was only six when she photos of her went viral, and many gave her this same distinction.
