How many of us were addicted to Barbie dolls when we were young? There were all those dresses and different hairstyles that came as add-ons, and we could just be playing with them all day. But Valeria Lukyanova took her thing for dolls to a whole new level and decided that she would look just like her favorite doll, irrespective of what that meant for her bank account. As she grew up, Valeria tried out everything that would help her look like a real-life Barbie. But she has already denied rumors of undergoing any plastic surgery. Here's almost everything you need to know about her.
The Doll’s Childhood
Before being called the real-life Barbie by all and sundry, Valeria Lukyanova was like many other young and chirpy girls that we have seen. Born in Ukraine, young Valeria loved dolls like all little girls. She went through regular education. And through much of her childhood, trying to look like a real Barbie doll was nothing but a childhood dream common to many.
Been On The Move
Before the family moved to Ukraine at the time of her birth, Valeria’s parents were from Moldovian SSR that was a part of the erstwhile Soviet Union. As a young girl, Valeria was raised in Ukraine. Later, during the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, she moved to Mexico. We imagine she had to spend a lot of money on just moving places.
Valeria The Regular
Before she went all out to become the real-life Barbie, Valeria was like other women on the streets and colleges. Her father was employed as a construction worker and her mother had a job in the military. Even now, we feel that under all that makeup, Valeria continues to be like other girls of her age who are just happy in their own skin.
Diet Is Where It Begins
A Breatharian is someone that believes human survival is possible without eating. Yes, Valeria is a Breatharian. Any normal person reserves the right to feel that it is a crazy diet program in which you are pretty much left to sustain yourself with atmospheric air. But it turns out the diet is quite effective if you want a waistline like Valeria’s (but seriously, don't do it, it will probably kill you)!
Her Career Is Bigger Than Our Dreams
Valeria says she did not undergo any plastic surgery or put on major makeup. With or without surgery, Valeria is beautiful nonetheless. She already has an established career in modeling. Maybe it was during her initial modeling days that she first conceived the idea of transforming her body and figure totally.
More Beauty To Her
Besides modeling, Valeria also ran for multiple beauty pageants. She won the Miss Diamond Crown of the World in 2017. It turned out to be a much-needed cornerstone for both her career and her bank account, as many people started taking note of her looks. While not like Barbie, Valeria does look like a goddess in this picture.
And The Transition Starts
Valeria has intermittently denied rumors of multiple plastic surgeries. However, she did admit she has been under the knife once. In an interview, she made no bones about undergoing a surgery for breast enhancement. Not many people actually believe that this is the only procedure Valeria has been through. But it is more important that the woman feels happy about herself.
Getting The Doll Face
You can instantly recognize the similarities between Barbie and Valeria – flawless skin, large eyes, extended eyelids, golden hair, and rosy lips. Valeria believes that makeup plays a significant role in her looking like a Barbie. She says she never steps out of the house without wearing a significant measure of makeup. She has consistently brushed off rumors of face surgery and attributed it all to her makeup.
It’s In The Eyes
Blonde hair, trendy makeup, and a unique physique play their parts in making Valeria the breathing Barbie. But what captivates us the most is her large eyes. Valeria uses special contact lenses that are supposed to make her eyes look larger than they actually are. That goes well with the makeup contouring that defines her facial features and lines. No, we do not know if there’s a surgery to make your eyes look larger!
They Call Her…
Among a sizeable number of people, Valeria is the Odessa Barbie. That is because Odessa is the place of her origin and you get the drift about the Barbie part. Her hair was always blonde and she has never complained of health complications either. But we do have our fancy pinned on just how much money that mane demands for maintenance.
Surgery In Future – Never Say Never
While Valeria has constantly denied undergoing any surgery apart from breast augmentation, her critics and fans both do not seem to agree completely. She says that she has always been skinny and it is just that she is even fitter these days. In an interview, she said that she is not against surgery as a principle, but does not need one right now. A smart woman keeps her doors open!
Hourglass To the Max!
More than her face, it is the tiny waist that has often been the cause of speculation of Valeria getting a plastic surgery. Valeria has long revealed that her jaw-dropping figure is a combined result of her regular diet and Breatharian diet. Additionally, the breast enhancement also makes her waist seems limited in proportion. Overall, hourglass figure achieved!
Small In Size, Big On The Web
Valeria is a Social Media sensation if there ever was any. Her Facebook follower count goes in the upward of a million and there are about 200K people who follow her on Instagram. However, the huge following does not always mean compliments. Many of them throw a lot of plastic surgery rumors at her, too!
The Barbie World
For people who are want to know Valeria the way she sees her world, there is a 2013 VICE documentary that can be a lot of help. Direction credits go to Will Fairman, who claims there is a lot more to the woman than her appearance. In the documentary, there is an insight into Valeria’s love for Opera and her spirituality seminars!
Will Said It
The director of Valeria’s documentary claimed that Valeria thinks of herself as a person from another planet. Will Fairman claimed that Valeria does not make any money from the seminars she gives. As her admirers, we’re sure there's a benefit for those who want to take her training courses and seminars in spirituality.
Haters, We Tell You...
From Valeria’s perspective, her life is nothing more than love and joy. She has said that the negative things said about her on the Internet do not really get to her. She faces a lot of flak for allegedly hiding a few plastic surgeries. But the lady could not care any less. The Odessa Barbie calls herself an energy vampire who enjoys reading hate comments because they allegedly fuel her energy.
There’s A Ken, Too!
It isn’t just her looks that excite us. Her love life is just as ravishing. Valeria is married to Ukrainian businessman Dmitry. The two are a happy couple and Valeria says that her husband simply loves her the way she is. For him, she is just as good plus or minus makeup. The chemistry between the couple is so great that we doubt they will ever file for divorce.
More Than Just Another Love Story
Valeria and Dmitry are far from being just another traditional couple. She admits that she does not see herself as getting pregnant because "where they come from, there isn’t a thing called children". Well, for as long as they see love in each other’s eye, then who are we to meddle? They’ll be saving a lot on education and insurance, though.
Meet Momma Barbie
If you thought Valeria is the only awesome woman in the family, here is her mom! The resemblance between the ladies is beyond the common taste of makeup that they share. Valeria believes it is her mom who inspired her to live the “astral” life. And Valeria’s is one tough mother, who would support her daughter in whatever endeavor she would be in. Cheers to their fitness and beauty, too!
Genes Bring The Luck
Here’s a little bush-beating about her claim of being from another planet. Valeria seems to have inherited much of her good looks from her mom, who also has a very narrow waist. In fact, their physiques are so identical that you will be hard-pressed to think if they really got there with plastic surgery. Heck, they would pass as sisters any day.
How About A Ken Doll!!
If Valeria is the Barbie of Middle Earth, there is also a real-life Ken Doll. Justin Jedlica has undergone some plastic surgery procedures! Even Valeria appreciates his looks. But she thinks he overdid his lips a tad. We’re not saying a word – just throw your undivided attention at the picture and be your own judge!
What’s In The Bank?
There are some giant-sized question marks against Valeria’s net worth because she allegedly does not make money from her seminars and her Social Media accounts. Her major source of income is her singing talent, but that still does not give us a clue of her net worth. Since she can afford lots of makeup and plastic surgery, we’re guessing she’s pretty well off and does not have money disputes or financial issues.
Ugly People, Shoo...
Here is something that could qualify as a sort of a negative. Valeria does not like to even speak with people who are unattractive. This could be one of the reasons so many people seem to be posting hate comments on her Social Media accounts. They could just be offended folks. If you’re planning to meet her anytime soon, get a plastic surgery done immediately.
She Means It!
Disliking unattractive people is not just a passing statement. Valeria is pretty openly vocal about it. In an interview, she said that some girls could be beautiful if they wouldn’t just "sink in the couch covered in pastry". However, this does not quite apply to people who are unattractive due to health reasons or undergoing medical treatment.
Barbie's Adding Up
By and large, it is established that Valeria did not need a plastic surgery to be this thin. However, her idea of fitness has evolved over the years. At the moment, she believes in strength rather than thinness. That means she is spending time in the gym working out and adding more muscle to her frame. We’re sure she will come out stronger than ever.
She’s Sorry…
Valeria could not care a toss for people who same shame her for her body. The only emotion she has for them is that of pity – she feels sorry for them. It is a fact that she has received flak from all genders, particularly from sporting groups. It looks like some people just cannot comprehend the workout and diet programs followed and endorsed by Valeria.
Was It Real?
Valeria once said that she got plastic surgery because she was attacked once. Many people could not take it from her. They said Valeria is simply laying out a cover story. But Valeria was consistent with her statement that two men came into her house and attacked her. If this was true, we hope Valeria took the help of a personal injury lawyer to claim a settlement.
More Dolls Are Coming
Valeria is not the only person who wants to see a doll in the mirror. A growing number of girls are taking inspiration from her. Valeria’s girl pal, Olga, has also matched routines with her and made herself into a real-life Barbie. The identical look that the two have makes many people believe that the looks can be achieved by plastic surgery only.
They're A Whole New Generation
The real-life Barbie look is becoming a trend. Started by Valeria, it is now a thing with women all over the world. Women and even men from around places are going for plastic surgery to achieve a Mattel finish on their bodies. Plastic surgeons seem to be the happiest people since they will be getting more customers.
The No-Makeup Look
Valeria literally took apart a lot of her haters and trolls by posting a photo without any kind of makeup. She is a firm believer of accepting oneself just the way people are, both with and without artificial makeup. Well, it is a bit rich coming from someone who is apparently decked in makeup all the time. But she means well, nevertheless!
