She may have the face of a porcelain doll but below the neck this 18-year-old is more like The Incredible Hulk and can deadlift 400lbs - the average weight of a male lion.
Powerlifter Julia Vins' unusual blend of wide-eyed beauty and muscular physique has captured the attention of fans in her native Russia - attracting more than 23,000 Instagram followers.
The innocent-faced teenager - who likes to take topless pictures of herself - already holds three world powerlifting records but says there's no limit to how muscly she would like to become.
Ms Vins, who was born in the city of Engels, says: 'People know me as "muscle Barbie" - I like this comparison. It's nice. 'I have these big, beautiful eyes and wear make-up. But at the same time, I'm strong. 'I can deadlift 180kg in training. I want to become as big as possible.'
Ms Vins claims her astonishing appearance divides the opposite sex.
'Everyone has an opinion on what I look like - they either respect my work or reprimand me for being a muscly girl,' she said.

'But to be honest, I've noticed that the guys who are negative about my athleticism - are just jealous.
Since childhood, Ms Vins' angelic face meant she's always been compared to a pretty doll. But the naturally slender girl never felt like she had any purpose in life.
'Because of my facial features, people have always said I look like a doll,' she said.
'And I was a good, academic girl for so many years. I studied music, was well-read, participated in various school competitions and was skilled at art.
'But I never felt like I had any particular objective in life. My body was not in harmony with my soul - it wasn't the right one for me.'
