OMG! Meet Rihanna’s Lookalike,Andele Lara

She explains: ‘The moment I step out anywhere, everyone starts staring and whispering before I get bombarded by strangers asking to take their photo with me.’This happens every day – It doesn’t matter what I do. I can’t go twenty-four hours without hearing Rihanna’s name.’I know I could happily give up my part-time job and studies to have a career as a Rihanna lookalike.’‘But as I got older, I went through many stages to find myself and experimented with different hairstyles and fashion trends.’‘The comments started in my sophomore year. My friend had a magazine with Rihanna on the cover. He held it up to my face and was like “You look like her!”‘I wasn’t really sure. She was glammed up in a magazine and here I was in my school uniform.

‘Personally, I never realized I looked like Rihanna. I do see some resemblance but not as much as everyone else I think.”When ‘Umbrella’ came out, a lot more people began commenting that I looked like Rihanna.’But after Ri-Ri released her album ‘Loud’ in 2010, the attention I started to receive for looking like her was undeniable.’People began approaching me in the street asking if I was her and I would see photos of myself going viral on social media.’

‘Literally, people mistake me for her all the time! I only have to step out of the house for an hour before I hear someone say, “Oh my god, is that Rihanna?”‘At first, I thought it was funny to take a picture with someone who believed I was her and then make their day. But as Rihanna gets even more famous, the attention just intensifies.’Some people follow me into stores or as I’m driving. Other times fifteen people will swarm at me all at once to take a picture with me.’I do think the attention I get is cool but there have been some scary occasions when some super-fans have followed me on my way to work everyday.’And I must admit there have also been moments when I couldn’t face taking a photo with yet another Rihanna fan. But it really makes their day to think they met Ri-Ri. I’ve never denied anyone a picture.’

‘When I go on a night out, that’s when the attention is at its highest. Even my friends get annoyed by the number of people that come up to me.’Men come up to me all the time, thinking I’m Rihanna and buying me drinks! They chat me up and try to get my number.”I was at a club in Boston and Chris Brown was there. Because he was there, I guess everyone assumed I was Rihanna!’I was casually walking around and all these star-struck people were holding their hand to their hearts backing away from me and staring.
