Dalia Naeem, a 29-year-old actress from Baghdad, has become famous for one reason: her unbelievable transformation into a living Barbie. After 43 cosmetic procedures, she now has the doll-like features she always dreamed of—plump lips, wide eyes, and a picture-perfect silhouette.
But not everyone is a fan. When she recently shared a video of her new look, reactions were split. Some called her breathtaking; others said she looked “unnatural” or even “scary.” Despite the criticism, Dalia stands by her choices. Her massive social media following—close to a million on Instagram—shows that many are fascinated by her journey.
In the clip, her makeup artist praised her, saying, “You look so beautiful!” Dalia, smiling, replied, “Your makeup is Barbie.” Her look, achieved through surgeries and enhancements, is impossible to ignore.
By profession, Dalia is a TV personality in Iraq, but her real fame comes from her extreme makeover. Her story raises big questions: Where do we draw the line with cosmetic procedures? And in the age of filters and fillers, what does “natural beauty” even mean?
One thing’s for sure—Dalia Naeem has made her mark, proving that beauty, in all its forms, will always spark conversation.
