Ukrainian model Valeria Lukyanova is best known as the Human Barbie who claims to have achieved her out of the ordinary, dollish look without plastic surgery, except for breast implants, even though there are photos that seem to indicate the contrary. Her title as the ultimate Human Barbie is now in danger.

There is a new Barbie in town and she seems determined to take no prisoners. Meet Alina Kovaleskaya, who also hails from Odessa, Ukraine, just like Valeria, and who is becoming the hottest human Barbie online.

By the way, as you probably heard, looking like a real-life version of a doll is totally a thing online.

Alina is 21 years old and, as it happens, she was actually one of Valeria’s closest friends. They are no longer on speaking terms now but, from what she’s telling the Mirror, Alina isn’t exactly challenging Valeria in any way. It just so happens that her popularity is on the rise.

Like Valeria, Alina too insists she’s never had plastic surgery. If you check out her Facebook page (which we did and we have to say it’s worth the while), you will see that her look in the photo above is achieved mostly through excellent makeup, contacts, good lighting, and lots of fake hair.

Alina is more versatile than Valeria in her looks, in that she can dress differently than a Barbie doll. She can do retro and she can do elegant, and she’s absolutely stunning as a redhead.

In photos, she too seems plastic like Valeria, but because she also has makeup-free photos on her page, you can see that she has very large eyes, a small mouth with full lips, and she’s slender – though not as impossibly thin as her former friend.

Transforming herself through clothes and makeup is an art form that Alina has been practicing in for many years now. This is her way of expressing herself creatively, she argues.

“From adolescence, I loved to change my image. It started when I was 13 years old. Since then I love to try something new. Now I have the image of a Barbie doll. I consider big eyes, small noses and small plump lips as beautiful,” she says.

“I was not a big Barbie fan as a child, I just find this character interesting in human shape. In childhood I never had Barbie and played with the most ordinary dolls. I initially wanted to be just similar to the doll and then I decided to look like Barbie,” Alina continues.

She understands why some people do not appreciate her look and won’t say anything to make them like her: as she puts it, whether you like this kind of thing is a matter of taste.

As for Valeria and what went wrong between them, Alina says that she learned that she wasn’t the kind of person she wanted in her life so, after one big and final fight, she ceased all communication with her.

Alina has a huge following online and she’s not shy about admitting that she’s looking for a husband. She wants children and a family, probably a picket fence and a dog, the works.

Meanwhile, she studies psychology and social work at Odessa University.
