In the era of digitalization and social networks, the usual models aren’t as impressive as they used to be. Now there is a new trend virtual model. They have been created with the help of computer technology.

These virtual models have their own Instagram accounts and an army of thousands of dedicated followers. 

The Instagram account of Lil Miquela has become a real sensation as since its registration in April 2016, with users wondering whether the model is a real girl or just a digital project. 

The model leads a very "human" life, so people involuntarily start to think that she is real. Her profile says that she is 19 years old; she is an American of Brazilian descent, who according to the story lives in Los Angeles.

To add to the bizarre situation in January 2018, Miquela appeared on the cover of a very real Paper magazine.

Despite her large following on Instagram, there are those who are critical of her and call her a cyborg.

Miquela or rather her creator, whose identity remains a mystery, is accused of promoting content that does not correspond to reality.

Trump Supporter and Model

In 2016, the world suddenly learned about a new digital model — a blonde girl named Bermuda. She became famous after her creator hacked the account of Lil Miquela. After a few days the hacking episode was resolved and the two girls appeared in a post together.

Currently, Bermuda has 65,000 followers. She is not as popular as Lil Miquela, however, because Bermuda is an avid Trump supporter and is vocal about being proud of being white.
