The Sahar Tabar 'Zombie Angelina Jolie' meme stems from the viral photos of Fatemeh Khishvand, an Iranian influencer who gained international notoriety in 2017. Her heavily edited and makeup-transformed appearance led many to believe she had undergone dozens of botched surgeries to look like the Hollywood star, earning her the nickname 'Zombie Angelina Jolie.' The images quickly became a staple for memes comparing high-end expectations to grim realities or for illustrating extreme exhaustion. Later, it was revealed that the look was largely a result of creative digital manipulation and artistry rather than physical disfigurement, adding a layer of meta-commentary on internet deception to the meme's usage.
