A five-year-old girl from Nigeria is winning the internet with her sharp features and her soulful eyes. Captivatingly, she has been dubbed the ‘World’s most beautiful girl’ after portraits of her went viral on the social media. Spectacular Jare Ijalana is labelled with ‘an angel’, ‘absolutely stunning’ and ‘doll-like’ on an Instagram account made in her name, where she has already gathered thousands of fans. It was last week, when wedding photographer, Mofe Bamuyiwa based in Lagos, Nigeria posted a series of the girl's pictures on her Insta account. In a few hours, the pictures received thousands of likes and comments (still counting) on Jare’s incredible natural beauty.

With piercing eyes, beautiful complexion and gorgeous hair, the child is seen posing in a simple setting. Captioning the photo Mofe wrote, “Oh yes she’s human! She’s also an angel! I could have made her smile and make her laugh out loud but I put in their natural moments for us to see through their eyes!” Netizens could agree no less. They were quick to praise the five-year-old's portraits. Comments flooded on the profile, expressing how beautiful this little one is.

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.

While many went on to admire the beautiful girl, the photographer has been slammed nevertheless. The child is undeniable beautiful, but her photos have garnered backlash for being exploitative, and one even called it abuse. “This is a very cute picture, but it’s child abuse. The model is far too young for all this. We should let children be what they are, children,” reads one of the comments. Mofe explained how she wanted to “portray the interception between her childhood and adulthood so both stay timeless.”

“She is stunning. But seriously “...interception between childhood and adulthood”? She’s FIVE!!” reads another. Jare is not the only one. Social media has many youngsters whose appearances saw them earn a similar title. We have often seen the fashion media tell us constantly about how we are not beautiful enough or do not have flawless skin to achieve success and love. It seems that at such a young age, she has indirectly entered the social definition of being a beauty.
