IMDb profile |
Kristina Pimenova (Russian: Кристина Пименова, born 27 December 2005 in Moscow)[2] is a popular Russian child model, working with fashion houses around the world,[3] and actress. She is the youngest daughter of football player Ruslan Pimenov and economist Glikeriya Shirokova.
With symmetrical features, 'bottomless grey-blue eyes' and lavish long hair,[4] Pimenova has been called 'the most beautiful girl in the world' since age eight, and has attracted millions of followers on the social media.[5] In some pictures, however, she looks too sexy for her age, according to public comments.[6]
Originally managed by her mother, Pimenova signed a contract with L.A. Models in 2016 after moving with her mother from Moscow to the celebrity town of Calabasas in California. According to Glikeriya Pimenova, the United States offered better opportunities for her daughter's career than Russia.[7]
