Suggested Reading
Rihanna
This TikToker, @priscila.beatriceoficial, creates lifestyle and makeup content. Her and Rihanna have similar green eyes, and who can deny how crazy similar their cupid’s bows are?!
Katt Williams
This man knows he bares an uncanny resemblance to Katt Williams. TikToker @chrissy100rose said Williams’ doppelgänger came into her store one day and did his best impression of the comedian.
Jay-Z
After fans said @midwestsnipaz reminded them of one of the greatest rappers of all time, he simply had to put it to the test!
Beyoncé and Blue Ivy
@juhmachadoofc has been doing Beyoncé look-alike content for years. And now, she’s getting a Blue Ivy Carter look-alike involved too!
Angela Basset
@fashionablyjetlagged focuses her content on fashion and lifestyle, but when folks started pointing out the similar features she shares with legendary actress Angela Basset, she had to give the people what they wanted!
Chadwick Boseman
In 2021, @sams23_ shared with his followers that some folks say he looks like the late-actor Chadwick Boseman… and he kind of does!
Tyra Banks
Back in 2020, @stylesby.nic showed folks that she and the Top Model herself look similarly, smize or no smize.
Whoopi Goldberg
In another universe, Whoopi Goldberg and this TikToker, @happydimples39, could definitely be related.
LeBron James
When this client sat down in @a1blendz_’s chair for a haircut, the barber couldn’t help but notice how much he looked like LeBron James.
Morris Chestnut
This TikToker, @postp.chronicles, strangely looks like ‘90s heartthrob Morris Chestnut. Do you agree?
Whitney Houston
@ellerenee0 showed fans she looks just like the late-Whitney Houston. She even sang “Step by Step,” which amazed folks to the point of asking her to star in a Houston biopic.
The Weeknd
There’s no denying this TikTok user, @marcos.twd, and singer The Weeknd could be twins! @marcos.twd makes The Weeknd look-alike content on social media.
Chloe x Halle
All we know is if Halle and Chloe Bailey ever need another sister, this TikToker, @brookellynnn_, could play the role perfectly!
Drake
People pointed out that this client of @ab_cuts on TikTok looks just like Drake, but from circa 2010.
Method Man
After months of @jordan_the_stallion8 hearing that he looks like Method Man, he put the rumors to rest by bringing the Wu-Tang Clan rapper on his page. The two even made a few videos together, and you have to admit the closer they stand next to each other, the more they look alike.
