Some Twitter users thought the image was from RiRi's childhood and were shocked to find out she was not the famous star.
"I thought this was the start of the face app young challenge," one Instagram user wrote.

It didn't take long for the girl's identity to be revealed. Ala’a Sky is quite the stunner.
Her mother Bria says she has always wanted to be a model.
With Rihanna and Tyra Banks in her corner, Ala'a could get the big break that she needs.
Who knows, she might even star in one of RiRi's Fenty campaigns in the near future.
Here's what social media users had to say about Rihanna's mini-me.
