A 22-year-old Boston woman, Andele Lara is a spitting
image of Rihanna, and that has proven to be pretty beneficial when it comes to
making some money for her upkeep.
Lara tells The Daily Mail during an interview, “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!'”
However, as RiRi’s fame grew, so did the amount of people
mistaking Lara for the celeb. Nowadays, she’s mobbed by screaming fans and
sought after by brands interested in capitalizing on her similar appearance,
which has prompted Lara to become a professional Rihanna look-alike.
“I know I could happily give up my part-time job and studies
to have a career as a Rihanna lookalike,” Lara told the Daily Mail.
She says she’s been paid $20,000 by clothing companies to endorse
their products, and has also landed contracts to promote sneakers, mascara, and
hair accessories with very little effort.
