The internet is going nuts over Gigi Hadid's new doppelgänger

The internet is in a frenzy this week after Refinery29 found the queen of the fash pack's Netherlands-based doppelgänger, Iza IJzerman. A quick scroll through her Instagram feed will reveal posts of a striking resemblance to Gigi: unkempt beachy blonde locks, baby face cheekbones and even piercing blue eyes. Perhaps this shouldn't be too surprising since both Gigi and IJzerman's mothers are Dutch.

“The first time someone mentioned it was on Instagram,” IJzerman told Refinery29. But the model also said that her modeling agency, Unique Models, weren't blind to the resemblance when they first met her.

“When I signed with MiLK, they posted a picture with the caption ‘The new curvy Gigi Hadid,’ so that’s the moment I realized it might be true!” she said.

But it seems like Gigi has more than one lookalike. Earlier this year, Byrdie brought attention to the 22-year-old's Danish doppelgänger and model, Amalie Schou. While the Victoria's Secret Model has an online following triple the size of Greece's population, Amalie's Instagram account boasts more than 20,000 followers and like her popular lookalike, she often posts behind-the-scenes photos of her fun and glamorous life in Copenhagen.

And those black-tinted shades are a clear favourite among both ladies.

The find-a-celebrity-doppelgänger game is not new though – every once in a while we see social media fussing over a new celebrity double. Here are a few other ladies who we think the Internet should also make famous as celebs' long lost twins:

 Just kidding. Here she is.

And then there's Selena's mini-me who you may have thought was just an old photo of her as a tot – only, it's not. This is Audryana Nevaeh, and she's ADORABLE.
