The Internet Is Calling This Girl ‘The Most Beautiful Girl In The World’, But Others Think It’s Wrong
Five-year-old Jare, from Nigeria, has set the internet on fire with her striking looks and has been crowned the ‘most beautiful girl in the world.’ Her photos have put people into a frenzy over her smooth, un-photoshopped skin and luxurious hair, with comments about how “absolutely stunning” and “doll-like” she is.
Jare’s new fame is thanks to lifestyle-and-wedding photographer, Mofe Bamuyiwa, who captured and shared three portraits of the pretty girl on social media for a project, writing “Oh yes she’s human! She’s also an angel! J A R E.”
Even though Jare isn’t a professional model it is evident she could be. After the photographer convinced the beautiful girl’s mother to start an Instagram account, the page took off. It features not only Jare, but her other two equally photogenic sisters Jomi, 7, and Joba, 10. So far their account ‘the_j3_sisters‘ has an impressive 21.6k followers.
The Nigerian beauty is only the most recent ‘most beautiful girl in the world,’ Anna Pavaga, 8, was given the title past December after successfully beginning a modeling career at only three-years-old. But some people didn’t agree with the title. Those who opposed felt it wasn’t right to put kids on social media or compare them. Scroll down below to see Jare’s portraits and people’s reactions.

Some people were in awe of the flawless Nigerian girl
But others didn’t agree with the message of rating or labeling a child’s beauty
If you have the "most beautiful" then you must have less beautiful and so on and so on until you get to ugly. Do we really want to do that? Do we want to rate children? Surly ALL children are beautiful because all children are pure , ugliness comes when the world corrupts and destroys a person. Lets just leave the kids alone and stop forcing "beauty" standards on them.
I agree with you completely. I'd just like to add one more reason to why all kids are beautiful → beauty is subjective.

It feels like fetishizing youth.... also objectifying children... it's creepy. If I had a computer full of these images, the FBI would be like "what is this chick up to.
youth has always been worshipped/fetished and always will be - sadly younger people are valued more than older people

Quick recap: Find a very young.girl. Give her a thorough makeover. Take some pictures. Photoshop the pictures. Present young girl as "most beautiful girl in the world". Find another girl and repeat and repeat and repeat.
yep, that's how the industry works. Keep the production line moving.

Can we just let kids be kids? They should be worrying about what outfit to put on their Barbie not how to contour make up. It's almost as if we are fetishizing them, it's kind of gross. Yes they're beautiful, but they're children! Let them be
Amnibtge inly one a bit disturbed that she is obviously wearing a wig?!! Im Nigerian. Shes super cute😊. She's a child. Lets leave it at that.
Sorry for the typos, but ment to say, "Am i the only one a bit disturbed that.....

Yep, whore them out young. I am so against friends posting photos of their children. Just stop this pedo b******t. Easy.
I think context matters, if you're posting pictures of cute Halloween costumes, an picnic in the park, a silly face or something like that then I think that's fine. I don't agree, however, with turning a 5 yr old into an Instagram model.

Well apart from the fact that all the pictures are heavily photoshopped, they are very pretty however, his implies that there are ranks of beauty, and we should really be teaching children that no one is more beautiful than another. Sure give them compliments but don't subject them to "you are more beautiful than others" because that implies that others are ugly
I agree with all the comments. Do we really need to be objectifying small children? This feels morally objectionable and creepy.
I think that the title is unnecessary but I think it's good for getting more positive attention for Nigeria
That heavily photoshoped photo looks like those photo's they have in Toddlers & Tiara's. Seriously gives me the creeps!!! She's way prettier in the normal photo with her sisters.
Children should not be made up to look like adults, in "sexy" clothing and poses/expressions. There is already enough pedophilia in the world without catering to the taste.
All kids would be "the worlds most beautiful" with all that editing, however kudos to the kids for understanding how to pose etc, takes a bit of feeling to do that which isn't a common thing in people, even less with kids who are unpredictable in many ways.
I don't care what anyone thinks, she IS extraordinarily beautiful!
she is, people are simply disturbed that a young child is being objectified

Beauty is in the eye of the holder. All children are gorgeous in my eye.
Anybody can be beautiful. You don't need makeup or photoshop, you're pretty just the way you are and if people don't realize that then they are clearly stupid
We are starting the beauty standards young. I don't think any of them are beautiful, they are adorable, they are cute, but most little kids are. There is something about calling little kids "beautiful" and rating them against each other that just feels too much like pedophilia. I get this is a statement about race and beauty standards, but instead this is just creepy and really inappropriate given the age of these girls. Then you top it off by comparing them and rating them...I need a shower, I feel dirty.
Huh? They all look like normal kids to me. Put in nice light by a good photographer.
There is no "most" beautiful. There's just "beautiful." Whatever you are - rock it!
I'm torn...on one hand, I look at Jares face and my breathe is taken away...her hair, her skin, her soulful eyes...it seems impossible to be that stunning. What an amazing child. But on the other, I find it wrong. She is beautiful, but she's just a kid. She probably didn't even have a say in all this. Put on social media to be looked at like some animal in a zoo, instead of a human. I think let her get a bit older before she has to go through this.
I have a real problem with commodifying these girls. And how are they supposed to handle the media attention? If you're an adult, you can make that choice, a child can't. They should be allowed to be girls, just young girls.
You only seemingly have this type of behavior when there is a Black: child; baby; or adult! Please stop! Humans love ranking. Please stop with the latent bias with aesthetic when there is a Black person.

Everyone has there own beauty she is very pretty but we can't be putting young childrens faces on the internet it ain't right.
Please stop objectifying your kids. Yes they are beautiful, and you probably will make oodles of money, but for what, look what happens later.
Please stop These children deserve to have a normal childhood. Yes they are beautiful. Please keep them that way.
Humans are the ugliest species on the planet. Only humans kill for revenge and sport while stupidly polluting their own environment.
She's beautiful girl. But not the most beautiful girl in the world. Just beautiful.
I pray her parents don't fall for the lure of making that innocent little girl a model. Many a girl's life has been ruined by that hasty impulsive decision
I thought Jare was a doll when i first saw her pic...Then i critically laugh to myself when I read her details how gourgoes i love her i think she deserve the title the most beautiful girl in the world
idiot!!!! there is no suck person is "MOST BEAUTIFUL". It's all based on people's opinion.
Children should not model !!! Modeling is a job. Children should have no JOBS!
Unphotoshopped skin but photoshopped eyes. Like that has any point to it, even if this was a valid way to objectify children.
She may not be the most beautiful girl in the world but she is "pretty"
Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. This young lady is definitely an eyeful, though.
I just think of future generations looking at all our pictures... we photo shop everything so much, it takes away from the REAL beauty of things.
The girl is beautiful yes...I just wish they didn't put that wig on her head!
Shimmies mami I am sorry, but paedophiles don't give a f@#$ what you are posting they just want super cute photos of children. Yeeeuuucckkk!
I agree with all the critical comments (objectification, idiotic beauty standards, photoshop etc) but, damn, I was still absolutely mesmerized by the picture.
I acknowledge more 1 girl to be the beautiful girl there is no pin-pointing the most girl, that would just 1 girl the most special girl when every girl that doesn't think criminally is special SPECIAL is way over rated it's means to me that the public is treat a person much better than another regardless and this starts a racist point of view, no very good this is my TRUMPing Truth!!!
These are all cute kids, but Ana K verges on plain or even homely. Who makes these judgements on little girls. In my eyes, even with their differences, they are all beautiful, and in their parents eyes, the most beautiful. Leave these kids alone for now, there is time for this later in their late teens.
i dont really think it is harmful to share tasteful photographs of lovely children - your kids share way worse selfies of themselves and friends
There's nothing wrong with proudly showing photos of your kid (maybe not here for strangers)but there is something wrong with taking the photos for the soul purpose of objectification of a child using rather sensual pictures. This isn't a sears catalogue showing off a dress. This is just showing off a girl because she's striking looking. What does this teach her? Also it's creepy.
