Huge blue eyes, chiseled little nose, bow lips. 8-year-old Anna Pavaga from St. Petersburg became the face of the Vogue children’s app, she is called the most beautiful girl in Russia. How the first grader herself relates to her popularity, Woman’s day was told by the mother of the young beauty Ekaterina.
“My daughter is very calm about her fame,” says my mother. – Yes, and popularity came to her not in one day, but gradually. She has been shooting for magazines for five years now, advertising brands. And this is not the first time she appears on the cover of Vogue. Included in the top of the most successful Russian child models. But the daughter has absolutely no star fever. What she is outside, the same inside, a beautiful, kind, open, inquisitive child. She is natural, she never plays for the camera. And her beauty is natural, and not from an excess of makeup. This is probably why there is success.

The girl knows that she is called the most beautiful, but she takes it calmly. But the mom and dad of the young beauty are a little shocked. Mom says that passers-by on the street, neighbors, friends, other parents on the playground have always paid attention to Anya’s beauty. The words “what a beautiful child you have!” parents have heard often.
When Anya was 2 years old, her parents photographed their daughter for her birthday and posted it on the social network. This is where it began: invitations to photo sessions, filming, advertising. At the age of three, Anya was invited to a modeling agency, and there was no end to orders.
Now the young St. Petersburg model is known all over the world. She is invited to many countries to shoot in fashion magazines for various brands of children’s clothing. In China, Anya Pavaga is a real star, she spent two months filming in this country and began to learn Chinese. And I learned English in a private kindergarten.

– We never set ourselves the goal of “pushing” our daughter into the modeling business, everything turned out by itself, – says my mother. – And they would never force her, she herself likes it, for her it is like a game. She meets interesting people, children in other countries. Shooting for 4-5 hours does not tire her, everything takes place in a playful way, easily.
When the number of her followers on Instagram exceeded 400 thousand, ill-wishers also began to write. Nobody can reproach that she is ugly, so they wrote that the parents “earn money on the girl”, “satisfy their ambitions”.
– We have never had such ambitions, – says Ekaterina. – She only does what she wants, the main thing for us is that she be happy.
The parents save the money earned by their daughter. Anya, a kind child, dreams of building a shelter for homeless animals.
The girl has many hobbies: she was engaged in rhythmic gymnastics, drawing, at the age of four she asked to send her to ballet.
– We give her the opportunity to do what she wants, – says mom. – And when she grows up, she will decide who to be.
This year Anya went to first grade. Children at school are friendly, at recess they ask to take a selfie with a star.
– Anya likes everything at school, but she was surprised that some children are greedy, she herself is ready to share everything.
