• Rihanna's Look-Alike Is Making a Career Out of the Striking Resemblance: Andele Lara Hopes to Meet Singer [WATCH]

    One woman who was constantly being mistaken for pop star Rihanna has decided to make a career of it. Andele Lara has benefited greatly due to the striking resemblance to the "Stay" singer: She has gotten into clubs for free, had drinks paid for and even scored some apparel contracts."The moment I step out anywhere, everyone starts staring and whispering before I get bombarded by strangers asking to take their photo with me," she told "The Daily Mail." "This happens every day — it doesn't matter what I do. I can't go 24 hours without hearing Rihanna's name."Ey yoll, meet Andele Lara... Rihanna's look alike. pic.twitter.com/UIW9BoxXcC — ♥NELLY♥ (@PlusSizeNelly) November 19, 2014She told the "Maol" the comparisons started when Andele was 15 in 2007. Rihanna had achieved mid-level fame by then with her first two albums, 2005's "Music of the Sun" and 2006's "A Girl Like Me." Once the singer dropped "Good Girl Gone Bad" and "Umbrella" blew up, people really began to notice the similarities."When 'Umbrella' came out, a lot more people began commenting that I looked like Rihanna," she told the "Mail." "But after RiRi 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."Lara has yet to meet Rih, but she hopes to one day take a selfie with the celebrity, she told the "Mail."
