The child star is now very famous.
Did you know that it’s really hard to be a kid star when you’re trying to be one?
If you don’t know the answer, I can tell you: it’s HARD.
That’s why it was such a big deal and so uncommon that out of the blue, a five-year-old girl who wasn’t even trying to become a child star was discovered and given the title “Most Beautiful Girl in the World.”
This is five-year-old Jare Ijalana, who became famous after a picture of her went viral.
If you don’t know who I’m talking about, see below!
A few weeks ago, I saw a picture of her and asked, “How is Jare?” How does she feel today? What does she look like now? For those of you who are also interested, you’ve come to the right place.
Jare has grown up and looks VERY different from the last time we saw her.
Mofe Bamuyiwa, a wedding photographer, took some beautiful shots of Jare Ijalana, her two sisters Jomi and Joba, and herself when she was four years old. That day changed Jare’s life forever.
Without warning, the pictures went viral overnight. All three sisters got a lot of love for their pictures, but Jare’s stood out the most and became a star right away.
Nobody could stop talking about her and how beautiful she looked.
Her picture was shared on blogs, social media leaders, and by celebrities.
People talked more about Jare because she is a young black girl and the shots of her had her wearing an afro.
She was called “The Most Beautiful Girl In The World” by Yahoo Lifestyle. It was a big time in history. She read a lot of news.
Mofe Bamuyiwa, the photographer, saw how popular the picture was and thought the sisters had a lot of promise.
He persuaded Jare’s parents to let her and her sister have an Instagram account.
This worked out really well, and very quickly, their joint Instagram account @the_j3_sisters got over 160,000 fans!
JARE TODAY
Things have gone really well for the girls since then. Jare in particular has pretty much become a celebrity and model, having been on the cover of several magazines and walking in high-end fashion shows. All of this at the age of seven.
Mofe Bamuyiwa, the photographer who got all of this going for her, has said that she will keep taking pictures of Jare and her sisters for as long as they live.
This would give us a picture-filled look at the life of a young Nigerian woman, and I must say, I’d be interested in seeing that project.
