Cape Town - Scroll through their joint Instagram account and you’re bound to do a few double takes.
With their doe eyes and perfect pouts, these sisters are looking every bit like Kim Kardashian West and Kylie Jenner.
Sonia Ali (who looks like Kim) and her sister Fyza Ali (who looks like Kylie) often leave their one million followers in a frenzy with their posts.
The sisters, who are influencers from Dubai, share makeup reviews on their account and Sonia (24) frequently recreates some of Kim’s most popular looks.
In fact, the 24-year-old’s recreations are so spot on fans have a hard time telling her apart from the reality TV star.
The post below is a picture Kim (38) shared of herself, before Sonia refashioned it. Can you tell the difference?
Followers certainly had a hard time doing so.
"You recreated her whole face though," one user commented.
While another asked, "Isn’t that Kim?"
Being a celebrity lookalike has several benefits, like gaining additional followers on Instagram. But Fyzia (27) and Sonia aren’t so pleased about being Kardashian doppelgangers.
"We always get told we're Kardashian wannabes, but this is how we’ve always looked," Fyzia said in an interview with Refinery in 2017.
"Last year we were even contacted by the Kardashians a number of times for the 'look-alikes' episode of the show, but we said no."
Sonia added that growing up in the Middle East "every single woman has a Kardashian look".
"It's very common."
Even though they find the comparisons irritating, the sisters agree that resembling one of the most famous families in the world has helped further their careers.
"I like the Kardashians for bringing out this look," Fyzia says. "Before, we were always ignored by brands and companies because we didn't have that 'English look' with rosy cheeks or blonde hair and blue eyes."
