Dalia Naeem really is a Barbie girl living in a Barbie World – but not everyone is convinced by her doll-like appearance.
The 30-year-old, who works as a presenter and actress, has garnered global media attention after reportedly forking out for 43 plastic surgery procedures to transform her looks.
From Baghdad, Iraq, the star now boasts a staggering 995,000 followers on Instagram, and regularly posts content showing off her unusual face.
After a video of the social media star went viral last year, Dalia has also received a slew of backlash online – with many viewers cruelly saying she needs 'help from God'…
In the footage, Dalia, who is known by the nickname 'Iraqi Barbie' can be seen posing beside her make-up artist, who says: "You look so beautiful, my dear. Like Barbie." In response, Dalia complimented the beautician, telling her: "Your make-up is Barbie."
It's believed Dalia's monthly surgical procedures include lip fillers and breast enlargement surgery. With her small nose and full pout, it appears as though she's getting closer to her dream of looking just like Barbie, but not everybody is too sure about her look.
