Why singer Malikov received complaints about his 26-year-old daughter Stefania 0 8

The girl is rightly called a social media star, as she has over 650,000 followers. However, Dmitry Malikov's heiress often finds herself at the center of scandals, criticized for flaunting a luxurious lifestyle, spending, and appearance.

"Dolce vita from Stefania Malikova" means crowds of fans, social events, and expensive clothing. About 10 years ago, her peers could only dream of the attributes of a beautiful life that the girl regularly reported in her microblog.

Stefania's revelations sometimes backfired on her, but it seems that rudeness did not bother the public favorite too much. And as the girl gets older, she hears more criticism directed at her.

She has long been accustomed to being in the spotlight, even if it is not always friendly. Despite everything, Stefania continues to post only positive posts on social media. But what do we know about the personal life of a girl born with a silver spoon in her mouth? Recently, Stesha turned 26, and we tell how she transformed from the heiress of a famous musician into a self-sufficient but quite secretive personality.

Stefania was born to Elena Izakson and Dmitry Malikov, and although she did not intend to follow in her famous father's footsteps, she could not resist trying her hand at the stage. After studying at a music school, Stesha decided to take up vocals and presented a duet with YurKiss called "Don't Rush to Marry Us." The song won the "Golden Gramophone" in 2015, which caused a wave of outrage among viewers who did not understand why the debutants received the award.

At that time, the young artist's mother lamented that public condemnation brought her daughter to tears, while YurKiss calmly accepted the criticism, saying that they understood that the award was given to the performers "in advance," for their potential. Letting the situation go, two years later, Stefania presented her own music video Hey, DJ!, but instead of support, she faced a new wave of hate.

The public reacted much more calmly to Stesha's participation in fashion shows, although comments about her not-so-model height of 163 centimeters were inevitable. The haters did not torment the girl for hosting youth shows on MTV and the "Yu" channel. In general, the main reason for the negativity often stemmed from Malikova's revelations about her luxurious life and extravagant spending.

For instance, at a school line-up, the girl appeared in a blue dress costing $1,000, and in 2017, she boasted that she planned to celebrate the New Year in a Valentino outfit worth 945,000 rubles. The price of the dress caused real shock and dozens of outraged comments. "What does one have to do to spend a million on clothes?"; "Meaningless waste of money"; "She should have donated it to charity, at least that would have been of some use," subscribers exploded with indignation.

Perhaps shopping "with flair" was made possible for Stesha by participating in shoots for major companies. Additionally, Dmitry Malikov previously explained to his daughter's detractors that the dresses worn for shows are not purchased by models, and some items are given to the heiress in exchange for advertising on social media. Stefania noted that she strives for independence and received her first paycheck at the age of 12.

"In my father's company, I, Edida, and Stas Piekha shot for the cover of the Avon catalog; it was my first serious shoot in life. At that time, my main goal was to buy two little turtles with that money — how little it took for happiness. A month later, my family and I went to New York, walked around the famous Times Square, and went into a Chanel store. A small red bag was shining in the window, which drove me crazy. I liked it so much that I forgot about those turtles and almost broke the display. In the end, I bought both the bag and got the turtles as a gift for good grades. Ah, the carefree childhood," Stefania shared her memories.

After enrolling in MGIMO, Malikova sincerely intended to become a journalist, but her passion for outfits did not let go. The girl began designing clothes for Maria Didarova, and in 2020, she decided to launch her own brand — DressByStesha. "We focused on details and quality; all our items are made by human hands, not machines. A lot of our love and soul is invested in them. Our philosophy is based on simplicity, elegance, and beauty," Stesha wrote in her microblog.

However, not everyone appreciated the brand. Firstly, Malikova was criticized for the high prices, as not every girl could afford a dress costing 15,000 to 30,000 rubles. However, sales where prices dropped to five thousand saved some buyers. Secondly, many were also dissatisfied with the quality of the products, and some models were even considered plagiarized from Chinese websites by haters.

"Dear Dmitry, I have found myself in an unpleasant situation with your daughter Stesha. I really did not want to disturb you, but I have no choice; I hope for your understanding and help. I have my own small swimwear shop, and I sew all the products myself. Six months ago, Stesha bought five swimsuits from me for 27,000 rubles, promising to pay for them with advertising. For some time, Stesha kept in touch with me, citing that she forgot about our agreement, but for the last few months, she has been ignoring my messages," the designer complained to the musician.

The message went unanswered, but soon a photo of Stefania in an orange swimsuit appeared on her social media. Apparently, this conflict was resolved, unlike the unflattering comments that were always abundant on Stesha's page.

Most subscribers acknowledged that the girl has a bright, memorable appearance. However, among them are those who wonder whether her beauty is natural or the result of cosmetic interventions. "Makeup on all 30"; "Beautiful girl, but you look much older. Your lips look like they are done," users commented on Stesha's photos a few years ago.
