The 17-year-old model, who is well known in her native of St Petersburg, Russia, was killed in the flat of an unnamed man.
Police said her eyes had been gouged out, her ears cut off and her body had been badly cut.
Elizaveta, 19, is in police custody on suspicion of murdering and mutilating her younger sister.
The elder sibling was allegedly 'jealous' of Stephania and styled her hair and makeup on the attractive model.
According to reports, her body was 'almost ruined' after she was brutally stabbed 140 times.
A police source said the two girls - both orphans - had been 'partying' with the older man when he left the flat to buy more alcohol.
As soon as he shut the door, the elder sister allegedly carried out the attack.
St Petersburg showman Stas Baretsky, 43, told Russian newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda: "I had known Stefania for about two years. She was a modest and attractive girl, she took part in my shows. I am shocked."
A friend also told the newspaper how Stefania had visited the unnamed man a week before and that he had organised photoshoots for the model.
Ekaterina Dubrovina, the girls' aunt, called Stefania's death a 'shocking tragedy' and added: "My blood turns to ice.
"These poor children are not guilty in their gruesome childhood and in all their unhappy life which unfortunately ended for Stefania."
