The assumption is that if you're a Riri look-a-like, you're living the dream.
I would love to wake up every morning looking like a damn superstar. But not all of us are that lucky.

Riri's doppelgänger, Yna Sertalf, opened up about some of the struggles she faces resembling someone so iconic.
The 23-year-old claimed finding Mr. Right has been a challenge.
"I’ve been single for about a year, but I would never put myself in a relationship with someone who sees me as Rihanna and not Yna" she said.
Her looks have consequently hindered her ability to find someone that is genuinely interested in her and not Rihanna.
"Because I can’t determine if the person fantasizes about Rihanna or if they really want to know me. That’s why I’m single."
But nonetheless, I would have zero complaints if I looked anything like Riri!
Even her own mother has mistaken photos of her for photos of Rihanna, and vice versa.
"My friends and family find it funny too," she said.
"Once my mom received a magazine in her mailbox with Rihanna on the cover and she sent it to me, saying 'I thought it was you.'" She said.
"The funniest thing is when people talk about you thinking they’re being discrete. I always smile at them to show them that I heard. It’s embarrassing." She said.
"But when little kids scream at their parents, 'it’s Rihanna' it’s lovely. Sometimes even if we tell them I’m not her, they think we’re lying."
"I always tell the truth straight away. Because I am fatter than her and I speak French people notice that I’m not her quickly enough."
She subsequently started posing similarly to Rihanna, and began to gain a substantial following on Instagram.
She put her looks to good use, and become an influencer on social media.
Since Rihanna has teased that she is finally going to be releasing a new album soon, Yna's fans will jokingly comment on her photos, asking her when she's dropping her next album.
Her social media following is on the rise, and maybe one day she will be known for something more than being a superstar look-a-like.
If we're being honest here, there are people who have it much, much worse.
