A nine-year-old model is at the centre of controversy today as she has been named the "most beautiful girl in the world."
Kristina Pimenova has already been dubbed a supermodel despite her young age, leading to some arguing that she is being wrongly sexualised.
Pimenova, whose mum was an aspiring model and father is a football player, only models children's clothes but some comments on her Instagram account - which her mother manages - have led to concern.
Pimenova's mum insists that she's careful to only post appropriate imagery, and removes any inappropriate comments from Instagram - of which, worrying, there seems to be plenty - but that hasn't stopped some calling the account 'creepy'.
Plus, some are worried that Pimenova is bound to suffer psychologically from receiving criticism - there's already a video on Youtube called Kristina Pimenova is Not Beautiful - at such a young age.
A London-based modelling agent has waded in on the debate, telling the Mail Online:
"You can say her expression is sultry in her photos, or suggestive, or too mature, or you can say she looks moody and sulky. Essentially, you're just looking at a girl who happens to be extraordinarily beautiful.
"Perhaps if her face was that of an average-looking child, no-one would be having this conversation."
