Jare Ijalana from Nigeria has managed to captivate people world-over with her ethereal looks and stunning beauty.

The adorable 5 year old kid became an online-sensation when photographer Mofe Bamuyiwa shared a few original shots of the little diva in a “dolled-up” avatar.

“Oh yes she’s human! She’s also an angel!” – the photographer captioned one of the pictures, in which Jare is seen sporting a gorgeous afro, giving a straight piercing look into the camera.

J A R E @the_j3_sisters CHILDREN ARE A GIFT FROM HEAVEN. I’m pretty excited and elated about my new style of child portraiture . 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. I want to portray the interception between her childhood and adulthood so both stay timeless !

Although majority of the folks seemed pretty floored by Jare’s natural beauty, charisma  and charm – hailing her as ‘the most beautiful girl in the world’, there were also a few complaining about the photographer’s attempt to present the youngster as a ‘grown-up’, alleging ‘objectification’ of a kid.

People didn’t understand why the 5 year old was made to look so serious in front of the camera and pose as adult models would.



Mofe didn’t take too long to respond to the criticism as she posted the following on the caption of a few pictures of internet’s favorite new girl:

“I want to portray the interception between her childhood and adulthood so both stay timeless !
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 !”
