Netflix Posted Beautiful Throwbacks Of Yalitza Aparicio, Now #YalitzaChallenge Is A Thing
We are not getting off this Yalitza Aparicio high, not now. The Mexican actress whose star shot to fame when she made history as the first indigenous actress nominated for an Oscar, has broken all kinds of records with her cover on Vogue Mexico, then her cover for Vanity Fair. Now, thanks to Netflix, we’re getting to see another side to Aparicio that shows she was meant to be a star since she was a kid.
Netflix posted pictures of a young Yalitza Aparicio, and people on social media love it!
Okay, so I uncovered some childhood photos of @YalitzaAparicio and there are NO WORDS. How is she so pure?! pic.twitter.com/VyCIFrT0qm

O.M.G.
Yes, compose yourself first. Now go back and take each image of this young cutie! Aparicio wore all sorts of cute costumes from a traditional Mexican outfit to a little soldier boy and a panda. She’s also wearing a white dress for her first communion.
People could not resist posting their throwbacks while wearing traditional Mexican outfits. Here are some highlights.
Twitter/@faithjonas@FaithJonas posted this adorable picture dressed as an Aztec dancer.
This baby grew up to be a Spanish teacher at a university.
Twitter/@chilango1709“Her pictures of when she was a child, remind me of my own pictures,” @chilango1709 tweeted. “Todos los festivales de las escuelas y los disfraces que nos pusimos para complaces a los adultos. Felicidades @YalitzaAparicio. Como indígena mexicano que soy estoy feliz por ti.”
Do we all have the same traditions?
Twitter/@claudiausagi_Claudia Reyes tweeted: “lol crazy how every Mexican child has pics like this!! this is my sister and I.” She also started the hashtag #YalitzaChallenge.
Why do parents force us to wear such things?!

Julissa looks like she’s about to cry!
Even though we might have hated the outfits at the time, we are sure loving them now.
The #YalitzaChallenge going on over at @NetflixFilm inspired me to dig up some photos of me as a child in #MexicoCity. I laughed so hard at my fake vampire eyebrowns. I’m sure my mom thought they were cute. ????????❤️????#Roma pic.twitter.com/wKc8FErYsE
