Kristina Ruslanovna Pimenova (Russian: Кристина Руслановна Пименова; born 27 December 2005)[1][2] is a Russian model and actress.[3]
Pimenova's parents are former footballer Ruslan Pimenov and former model Glikeriya Shirokova.[4] Pimenova has an elder half-sister.[5] Pimenova started working as a child model before her fourth birthday, after her mother sent photographs to the agency President Kids.[6] Pimenova has worked for brands including Armani, Benetton, Burberry, and Roberto Cavalli.[6][7]
In 2014, Women Daily magazine called her "the most beautiful girl in the world".[7]
In Moscow, Pimenova practiced rhythmic gymnastics, under Olga Kapranova.[4] In 2013, she competed in a gymnastics tournament in Tatarstan organized by Alina Kabaeva, winning a gold medal in her age group.[3]
In April 2015, she appeared on the cover of Vogue Kids.[8]
Later in 2015, Pimenova moved to California, USA with her mother. A documentary about Pimenova aired on RTL Television in October 2016.[9]
Pimenova played a post-production part as a singing child in the Italian fantasy film Creators: The Past.[10][11] In an interview for Posh Kids Magazine, she expressed her wish to become a professional actress and film director.[12] She was subsequently cast for the role of Dasha in Michael S. Ojeda's horror thriller The Russian Bride, co-starring with Corbin Bernsen and Oksana Orlan.[13]
When Pimenova's mother managed her social media accounts, there was some criticism of the content as an example of sexualisation of an under-age model.[7][14] Her mother disagreed, maintaining that all the photos were perfectly innocent and "you must think like a pedophile in order to see something sexual in these pictures".[15]
