resemble a Barbie doll. Known online as the “Iraqi Barbie,” her golden hair and striking features have sparked both admiration and criticism.

In a recent video, the actress and host appeared with her makeup artist, who told her, “You look so beautiful,

my dear. Like Barbie.” While some viewers agreed, others reacted harshly, calling her “Zombie Barbie”

or “Devil Barbie.” The mixed responses only fueled more curiosity about her dramatic transformation.
