14 DAY TRIAL // The hottest trend right now among teenage girls is to fashion themselves into replicas of Barbie girls, with varying degrees of success. Valeria Lukyanova is also among them.
A short while ago, Venus Palermo was forced to come out and, during a TV interview, defend her desire of styling herself as a living doll, as we also informed you at the time.
With Valeria, things are a bit different, in that it's not just makeup that transforms her from a girl into a doll: she's also believed to have had a lot of plastic surgery, as Kotaku can confirm.
She calls herself the “most famous woman on the Russian-language internet,” is 21 years old and would best be described as a model, were it not for her uncanny resemblance to a plastic Barbie doll.
Valeria uploads all her photos on Vkontakte, a social networking website and, while she might seem normal-looking in some (and very beautiful), in others, she's no different than a beautifully shaped piece of plastic.
Given how she's gaining in popularity as we speak, people started talking about whether she went under the knife to achieve this startling look since, they argue, it's impossible for a human being to look this perfect.
As a side note, Valeria insists she's the real deal: embedded at the end of this article is a video of her without makeup, where she's trying to argue that nothing about her face is fake.
People are still not buying it, though.
“There isn't much information about her in English, but apparently, her blog is full of New Age mumbo-jumbo, with Valeria's claims that she channeled cosmic energy to change her looks and that she holds the ultimate knowledge to the universe,” Kotaku writes.
“After she first hit it big on the Russian-language internet, netizens started digging through her old social networking posts and profiles, cataloguing all the rumored surgeries she'd undergone – from nose jobs to rib removal,” adds the e-zine.
Indeed, Valeria's waistline is incredibly small, looking disproportionate to her ample chest and normal-sized hips.
“One site even ran what is claimed are Valeria's old photos before she underwent her transformation. People can do whatever they like to their bodies – but they should be honest about what they do and not pass it off to cosmic powers. Hopefully Valeria is happy with her new self,” Kotaku also says.
Whether she had the surgery to alter her looks or not, one thing is clear: Valeria is now an international celebrity.
