• See what she looks like now that she is older.

The little Nigerian girl in the cover image is a child model and influencer well-known for her beautiful appearance. At 5, she went viral after a series of photographs taken of her were published.

A photographer named Mofe Bamuyiwa shared photos of the gorgeous little girl on her social media account in July 2018. The pictures show the budding model in a black and gold flower print dress posing for portraits.

Her piercing dark eyes, smooth complexion, and beautiful, bountiful, curly black hair stood out. She is so stunning in the pictures that she almost looks like a baby doll.

It wasn't before long that Bamuyiwa's posts racked up over 40,000 likes, in addition to the countless comments people made. Of what she was trying to create with the imagery she captured, the talented photographer disclosed:

"I want to portray the interception between her childhood and adulthood so both stay timeless!"

The Girl Deemed 'The Most Beautiful Girl in the World' at Five Has since Taken the World by Storm

As a result of how popular the posts that became viral grew and, most importantly, how undeniably beautiful the little girl is, Jare Ijalana's stardom began gaining traction. Popular news outlets dubbed her:

"The Most Beautiful Girl in the World."

The title winner is also not the only beauty in her family known for owning the camera, as she has two sisters, Jomi and Joba Ijalana, who have also posed for photoshoots. Given the overwhelming response to Jare's portraits and the fellow model talents of her two sisters, Bamuyiwa said she prompted the girls' mother to start a social media page for them, which is pretty popular.

Since garnering the esteemed title in 2018, Jare has done some great things. For starters, the same year she won the honor, she set the fashion world ablaze, with various agents seeking her out to sign her, and she was even invited to walk the London Fashion Show.

In addition to winning awards in the fashion and entertainment industry, Jare hosted an online fashion contest last year. Later, the talented beauty took to social media to promote a cause close to her heart: helping raise funds for a loved one's kidney transplant.

Jare asked her fans to donate whatever they could to a GoFundMe page created for the man and thanked everyone for their support. This year, Jare turned 10 in January, and the gorgeous pictures of her dressed up that were posted to her shared social media account show that she is still as beautiful as ever.

Her caption highlighted that Jare had a fruitful 2022 and looked forward to the wonderful things set for this year. She wrote: "Happy Birthday🎊🎉🍾🎂 to Mee. It's a Blessing to begin the New Year on my Birthday." She also wished her fans a great year ahead.
