"The most beautiful child model in the world" Kristina Pimenova then and now: Her 19-year-old beauty (2025) has transformed and caused a stir, will she be able to maintain her position?

10 years after becoming famous worldwide, the beautiful Russian girl Kristina Pimenova has become a beauty at the age of 19 and is pursuing an acting career.

Kristina Pimenova has been a model since she was a child and became famous at the age of 9.

At the end of 2014, when she was only 9 years old, Kristina Pimenova was called "the most beautiful girl in the world" by Women's Daily magazine. With her blue eyes, golden hair, and delicate face, it is not difficult to understand why she won this title at a young age. At that time, the child model became a phenomenon on social networks, with millions of fans on Facebook and Instagram accounts managed by her mother.

Kristina Pimenova was born in December 2005 in Moscow, Russia, to former model Glikeriya Shirokova and soccer player Ruslan Pimenov. Kristina began her modelling career at the age of four when her mother noticed that her daughter was getting a lot of attention for her cute looks and sent her photos to several modelling agencies in Moscow. She quickly signed contracts with major brands such as Armani, Benetton, Burberry, and Roberto Cavalli. In 2015, Kristina appeared on the cover of Vogue Bambini, marking an important turning point in her modelling career.

However, early fame brought many challenges for Kristina and her mother. Mrs. Glikeriya faced criticism for posting some photos of her daughter that were considered too sexy. The former model denied this in a 2014 interview with MailOnline, insisting that Kristina's photos were completely innocent. She said she never asked her daughter to pose in a particular way, and all the photos were taken naturally. Kristina's mother believes that some people have distorted views and prejudices. Glikeriya tried to protect Kristina from negative comments on social media and let her daughter live a happy, carefree life.

Despite the controversy, Kristina continued to pursue a modeling career throughout her teenage years. Kristina said that modeling came naturally to her from a young age and she considered it a game. She had a happy childhood, balancing her studies, modeling, sports, and enjoying making friends and traveling. Kristina participated in many rhythmic gymnastics competitions during her childhood.
