A "zombie version" of Angelina Jolie
The young woman became famous overnight thanks to her Instagram account, on which she used to post heavily edited photos of herself. With her plump lips, emaciated face and skeletal body, the young woman claimed to have undergone fifty or so cosmetic surgeries (which she later denied to the media) to look like Angelina Jolie. In her pictures, Sahar Tabar is always seen wearing large amounts of makeup that give her a ghost-like appearance, which earned her the nickname "zombie Angelina Jolie."
In some of her Instagram photos, Sahar Tabar is seen wearing a loosely fitting hijab over her hair. However, Iranian law requires all women to wear a hijab. As a result, the police arrested the young woman for "blasphemy." They also deemed her photos "cultural crimes and social and moral corruption."
