Wow…she and her brother look identical. Cute kids.
she’s just beautiful!
she definitely is cute.
She is so adorable….I love her dress….and her brother looks just like her
why is it that an all black kid is just cute? no, she is absolutely beautiful without a doubt.
She’s actually half Persian (Iranian) but yeah, she’s def. beautiful.
Wow. Not to pick on your comment, but people really act or say things with an opinion already formed, regardless of what facts there are to substantiate it.
There was a heated discussion on another post, when people called this little girl gorgeous or beautiful. Some folks presumed that people only thought she wsa beautiful because she was “mixed.”
And now we hear it from the other side, I guess you did not know she was mixed.
Back to the post at hand.
I always love the way Yara has her hair. I love that her parents keep it natural. I hope to see Heidi & Seal take a clue, and not leave the soon-to-be-born baby girl looking ragged and unkempt.
She is beautiful! And she is always dressed appropriately for her age! I love that:)
Yes she is. She’s a living doll.
She is so pretty!
She’s gorgeous!
shes so cute. her dad is iranian and her mom is black. and her mom is nas the rapper cousin. wow. her brother is so cute.
she looks beautiful in that dress!!
Yara and her brother are cute and she is real mature for her age.I can’t beleive she don’t have her hands on her hips she usually does when she’s on the red carpet. I’ve never seen a little girl with such an long dress on. It’s a pretty dress but the dress looks like it should be worn by someone a little older. How old is Yara and her brother? Do they speak Persian? I hope so.
The language is not “Persian” it’s Farsi.
I once met a man who was middle eastern and he was writing something and I’d asked him what was he writing in and he said “Persian”. “It’s my mother’s first language”. So it’s nice that Yara and her brother can speak some Persian even if they don’t know the entire language.
They both speak and write fluent Farsi, which is the language of persian people. Just as american’s don’t speak american, we speak english.
Actually, you can say both. Farsi or Persian. How do I know this? Because I’m Persian myself.
yara look beautiful as always, her brother is a cutie
i didn’t kno her mom was nas cousin!
She and her brother look just alike!
Just BEAUTIFUL!!
i love yara. she is the cutest model out their. she speak farsi a little. she also has a baby brother who is the cutest thing ever. she is very mature for her age. she’s smart and she spends most of her time doing science experiment with her dad and going to museum. i know her career will go far.
I can honestly say that this is the most beautiful little girl that I have ever seen!! She looks so much like her gorgeous mother too.
Beautiful, she always looks very cute. Her brother is adorable too, I agree they do look alike!
her and her bro look the same gorgeous
i LOVE her hair, looks really healthy
Cute, talented girl with a cute dress
I love seeing these up and coming young stars. I hope her family will keep her grounded and she’ll do well as an adult (if she chooses to remain in the business).
Yara is a beautiful girl. She reminds me a little of Thandie Newton.
This little girl is beautiful! Love her hair, complexion, and poise. She looks like a sweet little lady.
Some people say she looks like her mother I’ve seen a pic of her mother and from what I can tell she doesn’t look like her. But then again, her mother had shades on in the picture that I’ve seen.
I thought she was Willow Smith for a minute.
Gorgeeoousss little girl!
omg her and her bro are identical! cutie pies!
She’s a cute light skin girl
what does her mom look like ?
she look like willow smith
she is cute and she has a strong face too for a little girl
Love her natural hair! This style would be easy for a lot of moms to create on their little girls instead of putting harsh relaxer chemicals on their beautiful hair. We need to celebrate more natural hair on little girls especially in the black community instead of always trying to put fake ponytails and weaves into our girls’ hair because it is so damaged. If I see another five year old with brittle, broken off, short hair because of the relaxer I am going to scream!
Yara’s mom, Keri resembles the model Tamiko Fraser. Keri was in the McDonalds commercial with Yara a few years ago, a Botox ad, a Walmart commercial with Sayeed (he was riding a bike), a Campbells soup commercial/ad with both of them, and a Tropicana print ad with both of them that was in Ebony. I saw her recently in my Sunday newspaper coupons for P&G.
