Celebrity doppelgängers have always been a thing, but you've never been able to find so many in one place until recently.
TikTok has gifted us with so many things, from ruined Trump rallies to the “meatier” dinosaur girl (who is a real paleontologist, BTW). But one of its gifts that keeps on giving is the app's ability to uncover celebrity doppelgängers that look more like their A-list match than this Adele impersonator that turned out to be the actual Adele:
Here are 13 of the most convincing celebrity doppelgängers on TikTok.
TikTok user @traumarn13, a nurse named Ashley, posted about various scenarios in which she's been confused for Taylor Swift.
After moving to Nashville, Ashley notes, she started being asked for photos at Target, at the mall, and out on date nights with her husband. “I wear scrubs all day and just want to look nice for a change,” she writes. “No more looking cute in public.”

TikToker Priscila Beatrice, who actually makes a living as a Rihanna doppelgänger, went viral in August 2020. In the clip, she's seen with her back toward the camera as Dej Loaf’s "Back Up" plays in the background. The words "OMG [is that] Rihanna" are displayed until she turns around and reveals herself.

She's actually not the only RiRi look-alike to blow up on social media, but Beatrice's post was so on point that Rihanna herself took note. After The Shade Room posted the video to its Instagram account, the IRL Fenty mogul replied, "Where the album sis? #R9."

Using the same song as Beatrice, TikTok user Madelynn (@thebestmaddie_) continued the trend by posting about her resemblance to Bird Box star Sandra Bullock. “I thought this was gonna be a joke,” one user commented at the time. “But nope. There go Sandy on my FYP.”

These two women seriously have the same exact smile. If The Umbrella Academy ever decides to do a long-lost-twin storyline, they know where to find their other Allison! Though it should be noted the actor's last name is Lampman, not Lampson.

Hermione, is that you? TikToker Meg Flockhart went above and beyond for this impersonation, adding dirt and bruises to imitate the aftermath of a wizarding battle. Side note: Doesn't “Meg Flockhart” totally sounds like the name of a character from the Harry Potter universe?

TikToker Paige Niemann has made something of a career from her spot-on impression of the “Thank U, Next” singer, especially after Grande herself took notice. The resemblance is almost spooky, but it didn't happen overnight. According to Teen Vogue, Paige has been working on this impression since she was 12, doing lip-syncs on Musical.Ly, the app that eventually became TikTok.

Remember that Game of Thrones plot line in which Arya learned to wear dead people's faces as a mask, essentially transforming herself into anyone she wanted? Well, what goes around comes around, because now this girl literally is Arya Stark.

When the handle is @edsheerandouble, you expect a true Ed Sheeran double, and this guy does not disappoint. It's not just that they're both round-faced gingers. They have the same facial hair. are both rocking a tattoo sleeve, and possess the same sensitive eyes and sheepish disposition. We can only hope the girlfriend who recorded the video likes Sheeran's romantic music because if not, awkward.

Okay, this one's interesting because it's twins that look like they have different twins. Though they do look like one another, one Mescia twin also looks like Billie Eilish, while the other could double for PLL's Ashley Benson. So by the transitive property, Billie Eilish looks like Ashley Benson. This is math.

Do you think @hower3 looks like Spider-Man: Homecoming star Tom Holland? This is one of those lookalike instances where from one angle, not so much, but from another, totally.

This one is brilliant because it's so specific and random. Remember the brilliant “distracted boyfriend” meme? Well, the unhappy girlfriend in the stock photo just so happens to look a lot like TikTok user @escarrier. Not a celebrity exactly, but if you're as perpetually online as we are, this girl is a star.
