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.
“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.”
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.
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.
Now 17, Thylane has taken the fashion world by storm and has been signed with IMG Models. During her career so far, Thylane has walked the runways for major fashion houses like Chanel, Lacoste, Ralph Lauren, and Dolce & Gabana, and became the spokesperson for L’Oreal Paris.
