Russian model Alesya Kafelnikova made a rare appearance at Paris Fashion Week, but instead of applause, she faced harsh criticism and sarcastic comments online. The 26-year-old daughter of famous tennis player Yevgeny Kafelnikov was accused of having breast surgery, but what caught attention was not the fact itself, but rather the allegedly unsuccessful work of the surgeon.
One user on a banned social media platform commented under Alesya’s photo from the Vivienne Westwood show, saying: “Beautiful! But why make your breasts look like balloons?” Surprisingly, Alesya responded, revealing that she breastfed her child for seven months and that her body did not recover naturally.
However, instead of sympathy, her explanation led to even more criticism. Another user sarcastically replied: “Maybe she could have found a better surgeon?”
Alesya, who gave birth to her daughter in 2021, had already shown a fit physique shortly after childbirth. Just a year later, she sparked another debate by sharing topless photos. Looking at her transformation over the years, some fans are wondering: Has something really changed in her appearance?
Previously, Alesya took a long break from modeling without revealing the exact reasons. She only returned to the runway in spring 2024. Her comeback also coincided with rumors about conflicts with her husband, businessman Georgy Petrishin, and reports of his multi-million debts.
