Sophia the robot appears on Stylist magazine cover

With her stylish bob and camera-ready stare, Sophia looks much like any other striking model gracing the cover of a fashion magazine. But take a closer look and you will see there is something distinctly different about this blonde beauty. For Sophia is not a genetically blessed woman, but an eerily human-like robot - one who has just landed her first ever British fashion magazine cover with Stylist. However readers were left divided over what it meant about the future of fashion, with several saying it left them feeling'freaked out'. Sophia was created by Hong Kong firm Hanson Robotics two years ago.
