28 Celebrity Pairs That Are Practically Identical Looking

Recently, Britney Spears revealed her new look, sporting dark brown locks and a black dress to Elton John’s birthday party. Not only does “Brunetteney” look like Spears circa 2002, before that whole “K-Fed” thing ever happened, evoking a time when everything was still innocent and joyous, she looks exactly like another late-90’s, early-aughts staple: Charisma Carpenter of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It turns out that under that blond bob has been lurking Cordelia Chase all this time. Somebody get this girl a stake.

This got me thinking about the number of famous people who look strikingly similar, whether that’s mentioned all the time (Angelina Jolie and Megan Fox), there’s a slight degree of difference between the two (Eva Mendez and Cindy Crawford) or they are basically the same person (Carrot Top and Jackie Stallone). If you ever see a picture of Penelope Cruz next to her sister (who is somehow not her twin), I actually can’t tell the difference between the two of them. It’s eerie.

One of the entries here I find actively distracting (#28) and another just makes me giggle (#26). Sorry I’m not sorry, Whoopi.
