A 29-year-old woman from Baghdad, Dalia Naeem, has undergone 43 cosmetic procedures in her quest to transform herself into a real-life Barbie doll. Dubbed the “Iraqi Barbie” by some, Dalia’s striking features and golden hair have drawn both fascination and criticism.
Dalia’s transformation, reportedly costing thousands, has garnered her a significant following on social media, with over 996,000 Instagram followers and 43,900 TikTok fans. However, her recent appearance in a video with her makeup artist sparked mixed reactions. While the artist complimented her saying, “You look so beautiful, my dear, like Barbie,” some viewers were less kind, labeling her a “Zombie” and “Devil Barbie.”
In the video, Dalia, known for her tiny nose and prominent lips, acknowledges the compliments about her makeup, which was described as “Barbie-like.” Speculation suggests that her procedures include lip fillers, breast augmentations, and other enhancements.
Beyond her transformation, Dalia is a well-known actress and TV host in Iraq, living in the Adhamiyah neighborhood of Baghdad. Her pre-surgery photos reveal a striking difference, showcasing just how dramatically she has altered her appearance.
While Dalia’s journey has earned her both admirers and critics, it’s clear she has captured widespread attention for her dedication to embodying the Barbie image.
