Bodybuilding and fitness influencer Vladislava Galagan posted one of her regular updates on social media recently. However, she couldn’t have imagined that dressing up in black would send fans into a frenzy. After posting the video of herself doing rear delt flies in all-black gym attire, fans compared her to Lara Croft. Croft is the protagonist of the famous Tomb Raider video game series.

While others also compared her with superheroes, the overwhelming majority wanted to see her as the next Lara Croft. Surprisingly, Galgan swiftly obliged her fans, giving them a glimpse what how she would look as Croft after Angelina Jolie and Alicia Vikander. Earlier, the bodybuilding enthusiast posted a series of videos and images where she embraced the Tomb Raider avatar.

The bodybuilding influencer uploaded videos of herself at the archery range, learning the craft from an instructor. “Training in Archery for the Tomb Raider,” said the bodybuilder. If you have no clue about the Tomb Raider series, you must be wondering why the fitness influencer is learning archery. That’s because, in the games, the bow and arrow are Lara Croft’s signature weapons.

This is especially true in the 2013 reboot and subsequent sequels. However, Galgan didn’t just stop at learning how to shoot a bow and arrow. She went one step further. The social media bodybuilding icon also donned the Tomb Raider’s iconic outfit, a tank top, shorts, and combat boots. While the 2013 game replaced Croft’s shorts with pants, the Kendall Jenner lookalike wore the original outfit.
