The Instagram account of a teenager, 17, thought to be the love child of Vladimir Putin has been unearthed for the first time by the president's rival, Alexei Navalny.
Images show Elizaveta – known as Luiza - donning a Chanel face covering and living a life of luxury with a passion for designer brands including YSL, Bottega Veneta, Miu Miu, Tom Ford and Dolce & Gabbana.

Her mother Svetlana Krivonogikh, 45, is a housekeeper-turned-millionaire who began an affair with Putin in the late Nineties, while she was a cleaner and he was the married head of the FSB, before splitting up sometime in the early 2000s, after Yelizaveta was born, according to a report in Russian investigative site Proekt.

Krivonogikh is thought to have come into ownership of valuable stock options, including a majority stake in the Igora Ski Resort, 70 miles north of St Petersburg, which is a favourite haunt of Putin's, and another majority stake in the Leningrad Center performance venue.
It comes as Kremlin foe Alexei Navalny accused Vladimir Putin of using state cash to fund his secret mistresses in a new video issued after his arrest in Moscow.

Miss Krivonogikh is said to have worked as a cleaner in a shop as a teenager before going to university.
She would accompany Putin on journeys in the late 1990s when she was in her 20s. The economics graduate is now said to have £8million of shares in Bank Rossiya, having suddenly come into money in 2000.

Navalny, 44, claimed that the Russian leader - who he labels the world's richest man - uses a 'slush fund' to cover the expenses of his other women and their families including his 17-year-old love child.
He has also claimed that Putin has a £1billion palace on the Black Sea with a red velvet pole-dancing boudoir and a casino.
The opposition leader - who was allegedly poisoned by a chemical nerve agent planted by an FSB hit squad - makes the allegations in a new video issued after his arrest in Moscow.

Boy, 14, charged with murder after Stockport restaurant owner hit by his own car
A 14-year-old boy has been charged with the murder of restaurant owner who died after he was hit by his own car following a robbery in Stockport, Greater Manchester.
Mohammed Islam, known as Nowab Miah, from Hyde, Tameside, was delivering a meal last Friday in the Romiley area when he was run over.
The 53-year-old was taken to hospital in a critical condition and died on Sunday afternoon.
A statement from Greater Manchester police said: “A 14-year-old boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, has been charged with murder and numerous driving offences.
“He has been remanded in custody and is due to appear at Manchester magistrates court on Wednesday 13 January.”
Islam’s son, Shaf Nowab, posted on Facebook: “I am saddened to announce that my father, my mentor, my role model […] has sadly left this world surrounded by close family.
“I would like to thank everyone in the community for their prayers and regards, and me and my family genuinely appreciate everything you have said.”
Locals have raised over £12,000 in Islam’s memory.
DCI Liam Boden of GMP’s major incident team said: “As our investigation continues I would like to pay tribute to Mohammed’s family who have shown such admirable bravery and dignity this week during the most tragic of circumstances imaginable.

Indonesian searchers hunt for crashed plane’s voice recorder
Indonesian searchers hunt for crashed plane’s voice recorder
Divers continue to search through mud and plane debris in a bid to find the Indonesian Sriwijaya Air jet’s cockpit voice recorder, which is key to learning why the plane nosedived into the water over the weekend.
Indonesian navy divers on Tuesday recovered the flight data recorder from the jet that disappeared on Saturday minutes after taking off from Jakarta with 62 people aboard.
The information on both black boxes will be key to the crash investigation.
The 26-year-old Boeing 737-500 had resumed commercial flights last month after almost nine months out of service because of flight cutbacks caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) sent an airworthiness directive requiring operators of various Boeing 737 aircraft models, including the 737-500, to carry out engine checks before they can be flown again after being out of service.
The order followed reports of engines shutting down in mid-flight because of corrosion in a key valve.
Director general of air transportation Novie Riyanto said the plane was inspected on December 2, including checks for engine corrosion, and was declared airworthy by Indonesia’s Transportation Ministry on December 14.
It resumed commercial flights on December 22, according to ministry data. After returning to service, the plane made 132 flights, including the last one, according to aviation-data firm Flightradar24.
Navy officials have said the two black boxes were buried in seabed mud under tons of sharp objects in the plane’s wreckage, slowing the search efforts.
A signal that may be from the cockpit voice recorder was detected near where the flight data recorder was recovered, between Lancang and Laki islands in the Thousand Island chain just north of Jakarta.
At least 160 divers were deployed on Wednesday to boost the search for the recorder that holds conversations between pilots.
More than 3,600 rescue personnel, 13 helicopters, 54 ships and 20 raft boats are searching in the area where the jet crashed and have found parts of the plane and human remains.
So far, the searchers have sent nearly 90 body bags containing human remains to police identification experts and anguished family members have been providing samples for DNA tests to the disaster victim identification unit, who on Tuesday said they had identified four victims.
The US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said on Wednesday the team it is sending to join the crash investigation will arrive in a few days.
