Top 10 Most Famous Real-Life Dolls Around the World

Ukrainian model and influencer Valeria Lukyanova became famous for her striking resemblance to a real-life Barbie doll, although she insists her doll-like appearance is entirely natural. Hailing from Tiraspol in Moldova, Lukyanova embraced a goth style as a teenager, reflecting the bleak atmosphere of the city and its status as one of the poorest countries in Europe. At the age of 13, she rebelled against her grandfather and father from Siberia by dyeing her hair and dressing in all black. Bullied and called a witch, Lukyanova chose to withdraw.

Valeria Lukyanova started modeling at 16, quickly honing her makeup and hair styling skills. The only surgery she openly acknowledges is a breast augmentation, which she underwent after bleaching her hair platinum blonde. She believes her doll-like face was created through her hour-and-a-half makeup routine. In 2007, she won the global beauty contest 'World Diamond Miss.' Following this, she gained significant media attention, appearing in numerous photoshoots and interviews in Russian media. Lukyanova amassed a global following after sharing photos and videos of herself online, captivating audiences with her Barbie-esque look.
