Woman, 20, branded the ‘human version of Barbie’

A stunning Scottish woman has been branded a ‘real life Barbie doll’ due to her extravagant style.

With her big bouncy hair, petite figure, doll-like features and glamourous outfits, it’s no surprise that Elizabeth Smith, 20, from Edinburgh, has been dubbed a Barbie doll by strangers.

And Elizabeth says it’s a compliment, adding that she loves wearing custom-made clothes.

‘People say I am the human version of Barbie,’ she explained. ‘I don’t personally see it myself, but I take it as a compliment. I think it is mainly because of my makeup and bouncy hair.’

She continued: ‘I get lots of compliments on my hair, girls are always asking me to show them how to do it but the trick is just lots of backcombing.

‘My hair naturally has a lot of volume so that makes it easier, and I have just got very good at backcombing and curling over the years to achieve a big backcombed bouncy look.’

As well as her bouncy locks, Elizabeth’s lavish outfits make her stand out from the crowd. Elizabeth says that she takes fashion inspiration from her mum, Louise Young, 45.

Elizabeth added: ‘My mum has had eight kids and still looks like a supermodel, so is so fashionable and on-trend. 

‘Fashion is one of my main interests, it is my favourite hobby and I feel great when I am dressed up in my favourite clothes.

‘I have a new outfit for each weekend because I love to shop. I online shop most evenings while I am on my phone, but my favourite places to go shopping are Selfridges and Harrods.

‘I especially love going to these shops for handbags and shoes.

‘I would say that some of my favourite brands are Chanel, Fendi and Dior, but I do also love high street brands such a Zara.

‘I have always been into fashion, I get lots of comments on my wardrobe and people always ask me where my clothes are from, which I love.

‘Receiving compliments on my outfits gives me the motivation to dress up more, I love it.

‘I would describe my style as a mixture of everything, as I can be casual and also very glamorous, but I would say the best way to describe it is classy. I love wearing a nice coat with some heels.’

Elizabeth has around 40 pairs of shoes and a collection of 18 lavish handbags, of which she struggles to pick a favourite as she says she loves them for all different reasons.

Stylish Elizabeth admits that a waist belt is a staple item when she is putting together her outfits as she believes they make every outfit look finished and cinches you in at the waist. 

A favourite of her would be her Gucci belt which is featured throughout her Instagram pictures.

After recently getting married and moving in with her husband, Nathan, 21, Elizabeth still has to keep some of her clothes in her wardrobe room at the former home that she shared with her sisters.

Elizabeth says that she has two wardrobes that are both colour coordinated, one for clothes she hasn’t worn yet, and another wardrobe for clothes that have been worn.

The Barbie doll look-a-like has such an eye for fashion that she frequently designs her own dresses and has them made for special events, such as when she is attending a wedding.

The influencer said: ‘I love to design my own dresses, if I am struggling to find something then I always design an outfit with a dressmaker so I can wear exactly what I want and have it exactly how I like it.’

Newlywed Elizabeth tied the knot with her husband, who she has known since she was 14, in September. The wedding was nothing short of a fairy tale.

The couple got married at the luxurious Trump Turnberry Resort in Ayrshire, Scotland, with 20 guests due to restrictions.

‘This was my absolute dream venue, I had always wanted to get married there in the ballroom. It is just beautiful,’ said Elizabeth.

‘It is like something from a movie. I felt so lucky to be able to get married here even though it wasn’t exactly how we would have planned because of the pandemic.

‘If it was normal circumstances we would have had about 150 guests with lots of singing, dancing and entertainment. However, it was still an amazing day.

‘I had eight bridesmaids, seven were my sisters and one was my husband’s niece. We had all of their dresses custom made too. Everything was perfect. It was a dream wedding.’
