Once upon a time, a girl was born into the family of a Cossack and a doctor, who was destined to become a sex symbol in one of the popular Russian shows. This is how Varnava Ekaterina Vladimirovna was born, whose nationality still causes heated debate.
At the moment she is one of the most famous women in Russia. This article tells you who Ekaterina Varnava is: biography, photos and facts from the life of the star.
First years of life
Many people ask how old Ekaterina Varnava is. It's pretty easy to calculate: her birthday is December 9, 1984. When Katya was born, her father was transferred to serve in the city of Wünsdorf in Germany, where she lived until she was 7 years old. Then the family of the future star returned to their homeland, Moscow.
The return to Russia was difficult. When she went to school, the girl became an outcast in the class because she had bright and beautiful things that were inaccessible to other children. The shortage in Russia was very acute, and Moscow schoolchildren decided that Katya was an ordinary upstart.
But the girl didn’t wear anything that she hadn’t worn in her previous school in Germany. However, this did not bother her classmates, and therefore in the first years of her life in Moscow she was very lonely.
Passion for dancing
Ekaterina Varnava studied ballroom dancing from a very early age. This was the girl's real passion. She attended training almost every day, and was predicted to have a great future. But when Katya turned 13, she stretched out very much and found herself taller than her dance partner by as much as 20 cm!
Of course, she was not allowed to dance with him, and finding someone suitable in other schools was also not so easy. Well, when they found a pair of suitable height for her, Katya injured her back during training. So at the age of 14 she had to give up her career as a dancer.
Student years and the beginning of a career in KVN
Initially, Katya dreamed of continuing her creative activity and going to the University of Culture, but she could not pass the selection.
And then, on the advice of her father, the girl applied to MISiS to study law and was admitted. After graduating, she became a certified lawyer, but Ekaterina did not have to work in her specialty.
Appearance of Catherine Barnabas
Many people wonder why she has such an extravagant appearance. Who is Barnabas Catherine? The girl’s nationality is half Cossack. Therefore, her appearance is very specific, which simply needs to be emphasized with cosmetics.
The girl wears quite bright makeup for the stage. Without makeup, Katya immediately fades, and her beautiful expressive eyes are lost. Although the comedian is not shy about appearing in public without makeup.
For example, she was photographed more than once on the beach with absolutely no makeup, and she is not at all shy about it. Ekaterina believes that stars are people too, and they don’t necessarily have to wear makeup all the time. True, the girl still had to change her mind on this matter.
When she arrived at a friend’s birthday party without makeup, those around her reacted very violently, and Katya decided that she would go out only with makeup.
But we must admit that in ordinary life she does not like to wear bright makeup. And a completely different Barnabas Catherine appears before us. Nationality has nothing to do with it. On stage she is a spectacular fatal beauty, but in life the girl prefers a nude style, hiding skin imperfections, emphasizing the eyes, but at the same time creating the impression of no makeup.
Stage image
But Katya spends tons of cosmetics on her. Placing great emphasis on her eyes, she does not hesitate to use bright lipsticks. For the sake of the image of a vamp lady and a sexy beauty, she tightens her already thin waist into corsets, puts on miniskirts and huge heels. At the same time, Katya’s height is quite high - 181 cm, and her weight is only 63 kg. Looking at her, you can’t even tell right away how old Ekaterina Varnava is. But on December 9, 2014 it will be thirty years old.
But it’s not just the beauty’s eyes that attract the eye. Many girls would like to have the same chic curls as the star. Despite the fact that she has dyed her hair many times, her hair remains very thick and beautiful. The real hair color of Catherine Barnabas is jet black. But the girl was both blonde and brown-haired.
Now Katya has dyed her hair a beautiful chestnut color, but for how long?
Candid photo shoots of Ekaterina Varnava
The popularity of Comedy Woman participants attracted the attention of many publications, including men's ones. In 2010, the girls were invited to a candid photo shoot in the Maxim magazine. Varnava Ekaterina also decided to take photographs. The girl’s nationality and upbringing did not immediately allow her to agree to undress in front of the camera, but she did it anyway.
Katya was very afraid of how her conservative parents would perceive this. But surprisingly, they reacted quite adequately, even though my father bought several magazines so that at least someone would not get them.
The photo shoot in the Maxim magazine was not the only creative experiment of the beautiful Katya. In 2012, she stripped off her clothes again for XXL magazine, even appearing on the cover.
Family relationships
Ekaterina Varnava has a very close and trusting relationship with her family. She even agreed to a photo shoot for Maxim magazine only when her parents reacted well and did not object.
She even moved into her own apartment only in 2011, having long hesitated to move out from her parents and start an independent life.
Family relationships greatly influenced the development of the girl’s personality. For example, she firmly believes that you only need to get married once in your life. Perhaps this is precisely why they broke off their engagement with Dmitry Khrustalev, so as not to make a mistake in their choice.
When her father fell ill, Katya completely reconsidered her attitude to life, realizing that any everyday conflicts and hassles pale in comparison to real misfortune. And that you shouldn’t waste your nerves on stupid things and empty insults. Catherine's father was ill for a whole year, and during this time she learned to be more tolerant of everyone around her.
Relationships with colleagues
Barnabas has very good relationships with all his colleagues on the Comedy Woman show, because in reality they are all far from the same as on stage.
It’s just for the cameras that they constantly quarrel, sort things out and tease each other in every possible way. But in real life this is a very friendly team. All participants went through the KVN school, which unites and forces them to play on the same wavelength.
Ekaterina Varnava’s closest relationship is with Maria Kravchenko, but she is also very friendly with other girls. All of them are no longer at that age to conflict and quarrel, each brilliantly plays their role and has their own niche in the show, so Ekaterina is very comfortable in this female team.
In addition, the show sometimes begins to reflect reality, which Barnabas really likes.
Other projects of Ekaterina Varnava in film and TV
Ekaterina Varnava not only performs in the comedy show Comedy Woman, but also plays in various TV series and films. Of course, the roles are not that big yet, but everyone started somewhere.
So, she starred in such sitcoms as “Happy Together”, “Univer” and “Deffchonki”, playing herself. But in the films “8 First Dates” (2012) and “Young Grandfather” (2015) she has more significant roles.
Perhaps someday Ekaterina Varnava will play not only in comedy series and films, but also in serious films. For example, in the drama, how she dreams. After all, the girl has truly enormous charisma.
In 2012, Ekaterina Varnava was invited to host the NTV Morning program. She also acted for some time as a co-host of the “Battle of the Choirs” on the Russia 1 channel.
Ekaterina is constantly offered many projects. For example, act in advertising or appear on TV in some program. The girl does not always accept offers, but in 2013 she appeared in a commercial for the Sapato.ru store.
And in 2014, she accepted the offer of the Ukrainian project “Who’s on Top” and became its host.
In the meantime, Varnava Ekaterina, whose nationality still causes gossip, is just beginning to climb the career ladder. There are probably many big projects and roles ahead of her.
It should be added that Katya practically does not use the Internet, and she does not have accounts on social networks. This is Ekaterina Varnava. A biography whose personal life and creative successes attract the eyes of many fans.
TV presenter and actress. She began her humorous career in KVN, and in 2008 she became a participant and choreographer of the famous show “Comedy Woman”. The girl appeared more than once in TV series as a cameo, played in comedy films such as “8 First Dates”, “Zobashchik” and others. Since 2017, Barnabas has been playing the role of Lisa in the sketch comedy film “Love Is”.
Of course, Barnabas has changed a lot over time, but whether plastic surgery was done or not, we’ll see further.
From tomboy to diva
Katya admits in her interviews that she never considered herself beautiful.
If the “most beautiful” and “most cheerful” girl was chosen in the class, then she always got the second title. Until the age of 12, she studied diligently and stubbornly sat at her textbooks.
But suddenly, from a “cheerful girl,” Varnava turned into a real tomboy: old pants that her brother used to wear, a bag instead of a backpack, one notebook for all subjects.
The girl continued to wear this absolutely non-sexual image during her student years.
The first changes towards the “fatal beauty” occurred when she and Maria Kravchenko were invited to KVN. The “Team of Small Nations” was looking for a girl who could embody the image of a sexy, long-legged wife of small nations. This is what Catherine embodied.
Already in “Comedy Woman”, having chosen the role of a sexy beauty with a hoarse voice, Katya abandoned her bangs and began wearing bright makeup and more revealing outfits. For a long time, the girl remained faithful to dark hair and thick eyeliner around her eyes, a la Cleopatra.
But experiments with color, which began in 2012 (then the star dyed her hair brown), showed that lighter curls combined more advantageously with her expressive beauty.
In recent years, the actress and presenter has radically changed her image - not a trace remains of the burning brunette. Now the girl wears long blond curls and prefers voluminous styling.
Katya also lost 20 kg.
In this video, Ekaterina Varnava talks about how she was able to lose weight and how it affected her appearance:
Hard training and avoidance of junk food had a beneficial effect on her appearance - visually Barnabas looked several years younger! Now she is an avid gym goer and practically a vegetarian, but sometimes she allows herself to relax.
Plastic surgery - was it or not?
Social networks are constantly speculating about surgical intervention on a celebrity’s appearance. For a long time, Barnabas denied them, basing everything on her weight loss. But just recently, on Nastya Ivleeva’s show, she admitted in a joking manner that there were a lot of operations. I didn’t go into details, but let’s try to figure it out ourselves.
The surgeons who were invited by fashion glossies for a consultation suggested what kind of manipulations took place:
filler injections into the lips, which can be seen with the naked eye;
botulinum toxin injections, which makes the forehead appear perfectly smooth;
removal of Bisha's lumps - but this is not certain, since the girl’s facial features became sharper when she lost 20 kg;
fillers for correction of the zygomatic area;
mid and lower face lift.
Every person loves to laugh, especially since laughter is known to prolong life. There is currently no shortage of uplifting content on silver screens; on the contrary, making a choice is sometimes difficult, because there is no limit to the variety of such TV shows and programs. It’s good when the material offered to the viewer contains all the best traditions of the genre: humor, costumes, dancing, wit. Thanks to this cocktail, we get truly popular and interesting shows that you look forward to. Well, if beautiful women participate in such performances, then success is simply guaranteed.
Comedy show beauty
For several years now, to the delight of television viewers, the Comedy Woman program has been aired, in which, for the most part, representatives of the fair half of humanity take part. Among them there is an unusually beautiful and talented young girl: a tall, long-legged brunette. She could easily build a successful modeling career and conquer the world's catwalks. However, thanks to her natural charm, incredible charisma, and ability to make people laugh and laugh at themselves, she has been delighting audiences as a versatile comedic character for more than 10 years.
During this time, the actress experienced dramatic changes regarding her appearance and life in general. Today we will talk about Ekaterina Varnava before and after plastic surgery, we will try to figure out whether the surgical intervention really took place or is it just slander and gossip from envious women.
Why do many people compare photos of Ekaterina Varnava before and after plastic surgery?
A media personality is always under the gaze of society. Unfortunately, this is the price of fame and universal love. True, sometimes so-called universal love does not imply a reverent attitude towards an idol, but rather, on the contrary, a desire to expose shortcomings, find out all the smallest details of personal life and bring them to public view. That is why any changes in appearance are regarded by many admirers and admirers as the result of plastic surgery.
Before and after Catherine Barnabas there were and will be many more famous people who will be discussed in this context. By the way, some show business stars themselves talk about all their manipulations and any changes in order to attract attention to themselves. However, our heroine today is not one of them.
Early life and first steps into popularity
Appearing for the first time on TV screens in the KVN TV show, Ekaterina Varnava appeared as a very young girl and immediately captivated many with her spontaneity and, to some extent, even audacity. The girl stood out from others in her height and stunning figure. After a while, she attracted the attention of not only the audience of the youth “Club of the Cheerful and Resourceful,” but also the demanding producers of famous television channels.
She was invited to take part as a presenter in a popular TV show, and then Barnabas’s career only rapidly gained momentum. By the way, it was from this moment that fans began to closely follow the girl, paying special attention to her appearance. After all, before and after plastic surgery, Katya Varnava, in their opinion, radically changed not only her facial features, but also her natural forms.
Weight loss, liposuction or just exhaustion?
During the period of all-consuming success, fans began to notice that the girl was changing and transforming. She lost weight, changed her hair color and began to stick to calm tones in her makeup. However, many immediately suspected Catherine of having allegedly resorted to plastic surgery. Articles began to appear in the press, supported by photos of Ekaterina Varnava before and after plastic surgery. A huge number of unsubstantiated assumptions and guesses rained down. At the very beginning, the girl, famous throughout the country, did not react in any way to the attacks on her by journalists, then she considered it necessary to comment on the situation, and now she has made something of an object of jokes out of her.
First person comments
A Russian women's fashion magazine once invited Ekaterina to find out the details of her transformation. It is clear that the conversation touched on the topic of operations and took place under the motto: “Barnabas before and after plastic surgery.” However, the girl only said that as a result of the crazy pace of life, when there is no time for a normal lunch break, and dinner sometimes happens only in the morning, she lost weight and her face changed a little. It is worth noting that these events took place during the girl’s stunning career takeoff. When asked about lip augmentation, the Comedy Woman star answered with absolute honesty, because it was simply pointless to deny: the photos before and after Barnabas’ plastic surgery spoke for themselves. Now she is the owner of sensual, plump lips, but at the time of her first appearance on the country’s screens she could not boast of this.
Alleged list of plastic surgeries from fans
Many fans of the girl competently claim that lips are far from the only modernization undertaken by the girl in the pursuit of perfection. Here are some of them:
- Removal of Bish's lumps, which subsequently involves drawing a clear line of cheekbones.
- Breast augmentation.
- Eyelid lift.
- Changing the shape of the nose.
The star categorically denies all of these surgical interventions. Beauty experts and the best plastic surgeons in the country tried to find out the veracity of her assurances. To do this, they carefully studied the photos before and after the plastic surgery of Catherine Varnava. It is worth saying that the conclusions they made are quite interesting.
Experts' opinion
Let's start to figure it out in order. Regarding this, beauty experts said that they do not see such interference in the image of the famous comedian Barnabas. After plastic surgery (before it was already graceful), the face acquires sharp cheekbones, and with Ekaterina this effect was achieved as a result of severe weight loss. As for suspicions related to the situation with breast enlargement, the answer from experts and plastic surgeons is a clear no. This is because before losing weight, Ekaterina was a curvy girl and her curves have not gone away, but now, against the backdrop of her fragile body, her breasts stand out significantly and attract undue attention. Therefore, those fans and admirers who study photos of Ekaterina Varnava before and after plastic surgery should be told not to look for evidence that refutes expert opinion. The girl herself has repeatedly said that she did not resort to the help of surgeons, but owes her beautiful forms to her mother and grandmother.
Rhinoplasty?
Well, now it’s time to sort out the controversial issues concerning Ekaterina Varnava (her photos before and after plastic surgery differ). We are talking about changing the shape of the nose, the so-called rhinoplasty, and eyelid lifting. It is worth saying that the opinions of experts regarding these operations are divided. Half believe that there were no surgical interventions, and the comedian’s nose remained the same as in her youth. The photo clearly shows a small hump unique to Catherine and a peculiar tip that has not changed at all. The other half of the experts believe that the nose began to look more miniature and graceful, which means that rhinoplasty took place.
Blepharoplasty
Comparing photos of Katya Varnava before and after plastic surgery, or rather photographs of her youth and those that were taken more recently, experts came to a common denominator. They almost unanimously decided that Barnabas had an eyelid lift, and perhaps also used Botox. Plastic surgeons who took part in an experiment to determine the external changes of the famous girl noted that facial expressions after the above-mentioned drug began to differ slightly from the original.
In fact, in conclusion, I would like to say that every person has every right to manage his own appearance at his own discretion. People are also not obliged to account for this to anyone. Therefore, it should be concluded that Katya Varnava, whose photos before and after plastic surgery are presented in the article, just like the others, has every right not to make her personal life public.
Mikrusha continues the series of articles by show business stars without makeup, we reveal the secrets of stars without makeup and Photoshop, and today’s article is about Ekaterina Varnava, a Russian actress and TV presenter. Real fame came to Katya after she began participating in the 2008 show at Comedy Woman.
Barnabas appears extremely rarely in public without makeup, because he is part of that fatal image of the girl. Barnabas herself is a confident young woman and loves herself as she is, with or without makeup. However, having once attended a friend’s event, where the actress appeared in sportswear, sneakers and no makeup, she realized that those around her were used to it and wanted to see her as exactly the sexy beauty with professional make-up that we see Barnabas from the screens. Therefore, Catherine decided that she would no longer allow herself to relax and appear in public without makeup. Ekaterina Varnava applies at least a minimum of makeup before going out.
However, there are already photographs of Barnabas on the Internet without makeup, where she looks very cute, at home. True, fans are not always able to recognize a star in an unusual image.
Photo of Barnabas without makeup
Here Ekaterina is relaxing on the sea coast, naturally, cosmetics in this case would be superfluous, so Varnava is in the photo without makeup.
On vacation with friends, Barnabas could also afford a minimum of makeup and a maximum of naturalness.
Ekaterina Varnava is one of the most popular TV stars, whose name is well known to fans of KVN and other comedy shows. Although as a child she was considered a boastful upstart. The bright and shocking image of the actress leaves no one indifferent, making people of all ages smile. However, lately fans of the talented artist have not been laughing at all - Katya has recently lost a lot of weight and the girl’s fans are wondering what it is: the result of an illness or plastic surgery? Read the answers to these and other questions that interest you in our exclusive interview.
- Name: Ekaterina Vladimirovna Varnava
- Date of Birth: December 9, 1984
- Place of Birth: Moscow
- Anthropometric data: height 181 cm, optimal weight 60 kg
- Occupation: actress, choreographer
- Family status: Single
Ekaterina Varnava before plastic surgery
The future star of Russian show business was born in the Russian capital on December 9, 1984, but earlier she lived her childhood abroad in Germany, where her father served. After returning to her homeland, for a long time she could not find a common language with her peers, who considered the girl who wore bright and fashionable clothes to be a boastful upstart.
One of the brightest childhood hobbies for Catherine was ballroom dancing. She dreamed of turning her favorite pastime into a profession, but a back injury confused the girl’s cards and she had to say goodbye to dancing. After graduating from school, Varnava tried to enter the cultural institute, but was unsuccessful. Then she submitted documents to MISiS and passed the competitive selection. While at the university, Katya became seriously interested in KVN, which became a good launching pad for her into the world of show business.
Soon, the producers of the TNT channel invited the sexy brunette to try her hand at the Comedy Woman project as an artist and choreographer. Here she found her place and quickly became popular. Varnava began to be invited to star in popular TNT sitcoms - “Deffchonki”, “Happy Together”, “Univer” and others. In addition, at one time Katya was the presenter of the morning broadcast of the NTV channel. But then serious changes began to occur in the actress’s appearance.
What operations did Ekaterina Varnava perform?
The bright and recognizable appearance of the TV personality is the result of a symbiosis of her complex face with large features, a large and somewhat elongated nose and enlarged lips. For public people who often appear before the public in photos and videos, the biggest problem is an impressive nose. To prevent it from taking up all the attention, photographers have to regularly select the right color and angle.
Apparently, Catherine decided to put an end to this problem once and for all and had rhinoplasty. A comparison of earlier and some later photographs shows that the actress’s nose has become shorter and its tip no longer hangs over the line of the upper lip as before, but is even slightly raised upward. However, some experts explain these changes by weight loss, especially since the bridge of the nose remained the same.
In the latest photographs, Barnabas looks completely unrecognizable and one of the new features of her appearance is a more elongated face and pointed cheekbones. The girl herself explains these changes as the result of a proper diet, but knowledgeable people claim that such changes may be associated with the removal of Bisha's lumps. This aesthetic procedure eliminates excessive roundness of the cheeks and gives the face a more expressive and sophisticated appearance.
What leaves no doubt is the fact of lip correction using fillers with hyaluronic acid and botulinum toxin injections, which smooth out wrinkles in the frontal part of the face. Now the former traces of age-related changes are no longer visible here.
The cost of these cosmetic procedures may hit the pocket of the average Russian, but for a star it is quite acceptable. This is the approximate prices for the procedures that were performed on Ekaterina Varnava:
- l Botox injections - from 280 rubles per unit;
- l lip filler injections - approximately 50 thousand rubles;
- l injections of fillers into the zygomatic part of the face - from 30 thousand rubles;
- l removal of Bisha lumps - up to 70 thousand rubles;
- l lift of the middle and lower part of the face - from 250 thousand rubles.
The total cost of all procedures starts from 400 thousand rubles.
The TV personality herself categorically denies the intervention of plastic surgeons in her appearance and, as proof of this, published a photo in which her “imperial nose” is clearly visible. As a guest on Channel One’s “Alone with Everyone” program, Varnava said that she had long given up meat, fish, and seafood and switched to plant-based foods and dairy products.
Photos of Ekaterina Varnava before and after plastic surgery
Comparing photographs of TV personalities from different years, you often come across the idea that in front of you are two different people. In her youth, the actress’s calling card was her charming cheeks, which emphasized her beautiful texture. Medium-full lips exuded an infectious smile, and an impressively sized nose added a bit of exoticism to the artist’s appearance.
Now before us appears an emaciated, somewhat sickly-looking girl with huge eyes, pointed cheekbones and a new color of pupils. The latter is explained by the star’s passion for colored lenses. It is much more difficult to interpret visually noticeable changes in the shape of the eyelids and cheeks. Obviously, this could not have happened without the participation of a plastic surgeon.
In photographs from 2016, the actress is depicted as very thin, with unnaturally thin arms and legs. Catherine's shoulders sharpened even more, and her once attractive breasts became completely invisible.
Video by Ekaterina Varnava
Unlike many of her colleagues, Katya opened an account on the popular social network quite late - only in the spring of 2015. However, the outrageous TV presenter managed to quickly attract the attention of followers and after a year and a half she could boast of a figure of 800 thousand subscribers, the number of which is steadily growing.
The bulk of images posted for public viewing are related to creative activities. In many photos, Katya is immersed in the working atmosphere and is surrounded by colleagues. There are many staged shots in the series of images, which indicates Ekaterina’s creative approach to displaying her own appearance. In addition to photographs taken by professional photographers, you can also see selfies on Varnava’s blog, where she often appears in her home environment. A number of photographs clearly demonstrate severe thinness, bordering on morbidity. Looking at the protruding bones and sunken cheeks, the most impressionable fans began to sound the alarm and declare that anorexia was threatening their idol.
The star accompanies most of her photographs with comments reflecting her mood and state of mind. The photographs clearly demonstrate the constant search for herself, because the artist often demonstrates images that are sometimes radically different from each other. Ekaterina is in constant dialogue with her audience and consults with them about makeup and new hair color. She recently posted a photo in a red minidress, which once again emphasized her thinness, which made some followers compare her to Lady Gaga.
Personal life
Officially, the star is not married, but is actively searching for her other half. At various times, her passions were a certain married man, the famous showman D. Khrustalev and dancer E. Borodenko, with whom, according to Varnava, she had exclusively friendly relations. Recently it became known about the actress’s stormy romance with dancer K. Myakinkov. He was a participant in the “Dance” project, which was hosted by Ekaterina. Joint photographs began to appear on the artist’s blog, and in the fall of 2016 the couple starred in Anna Sedokova’s video as themselves, that is, the bride and groom.
During the filming of the next episode of the Ice Age TV show, a scandal broke out. The host of the project, Alla Mikheeva, a former partner of M. Marinin, with whom Varnava dances, was jealous of the artist for showing overly passionate feelings during the performance of the “Dance” number. She sarcastically commented that Maxim had a hard time with such a tall partner.
