In the photos, which can be seen here, the two look so much alike that the student has made a new career for herself and so far she has received thousands of dollars from different companies to endorse their products.

It has become evident that this Rihanna lookalike is using her RiRi features to cash out. Lara has been paid to endorse clothing companies, she's also been asked to promote sneakers and she has also landed gigs with hair and accessory companies.

According to The Daily Mail, Lara can't step out of her home without being mobbed by screaming Rihanna fans that mistake her for the Diamonds singer.

During her sit down, Lara explained that someone saw the resemblance in high school and since Rihanna's high-rise to fame, Lara says that she has been on rise too. 

"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."

While Lara has yet to meet her celebrity lookalike, the two have had an encounter via Instagram after one of the singer's fan's posted a picture of Lara with the caption reading 'Rare pic of Rihanna' obviously unaware that the photo was actually of Lara.

Somehow the photo got RiRi's attention and she left a comment saying "OH?!," causing hundreds of followers to turn on Lara.

Lara is still hopeful that one day she will be able to meet her "twin" and so that she is able to 'take a selfie with her.'
