From Anastasia Knyazeva, who has millions of Instagram followers to Adrian Mead, one of the UK's most successful child models, these kids have plenty of talent.

Keep scrolling to learn their names before everyone else does. 

Anastasia Knyazeva

Knyazeva may be very, very young but she's got a massive following. The 6-year-old Russian model has 1.1 million followers on Instagram and has already scored several gigs with Russia's top children brands.

She started her career at the tender age of 4, so she's pretty much an industry vet at this point.

Kristina Pimenova

Pimenova, 12, has already made quite a splash in the industry. The Russian model has posed for Vogue, landed gigs with Burberry, Armani, and Roberto Cavalli, and has more than two million Instagram followers. Oh yeah, and she also won a gold medal for her gymnastic skills. All in a day's work.

If you were to Google the definition of cool, 7-year-old Stella, and 5-year-old Blaise, would probably pop up somewhere. The duo have — collectively — posed for Gap Kids, Kohls, Converse, and Tommy Hilfiger (to name a few). They also have more than 63,000 Instagram followers.

Txunamy

Txunamy, 8, is pretty much a social media sensation. She has 1.5 million Instagram followers and her family's YouTube account regularly gets hundreds of thousands of views. She's also something of an overnight sensation.

"We initially got noticed because @Kardashiankids posted a picture on their page of Txunamy wearing their clothing which had more than 1 million followers. I believe they gave us our first feature," Stella Ortiz, Txunamy's mother, told HollywoodLife. "We literally were featured the same day we opened our account and got more than 10K followers the first week."

Adrian Mead

One of the UK's top models is a 12-year-old boy with an important message. Adrian Mead's mother encouraged him to get into modeling as a way of building up self-confidence — and it worked. Mead regularly poses for commercial shoots, walks the runway, and hopes to spread a message of positivity.

"It makes me feel happy because I know that it will help children who find it hard to buy clothes that fit comfortably and properly," he told the Daily Mail. "I want other children to feel happy about themselves and who they are."
