Celebrity Lookalikes: Pia Wurtzbach & Audrey Hepburn


It's weird that nobody seems to notice the resemblance until I point it out.


They don't always look alike, as in the photo above. They look most alike in profile, or when Pia's not smiling. Pia has fiercer, more elongated eyes, while Audrey has rounder, softer-looking eyes. But it's largely due to makeup trends. It wasn't an easy task collecting photos of the two that clearly show their resemblance because of the differences in makeup. Also, Audrey's photographs were mostly posed to make her look charming and sweet - the look of her time, while Pia's are fiercer and sultry - the look of her time. Portraitists, makeup artists and beauty enthusiasts like me would see past all that and easily see how their faces are practically from the same mold.

They're both doe-eyed, with long, elegant eyebrows. They both have such tiny delicate faces, thin long necks, and perfectly contoured bone structure. The placement of their ears and cheekbones are the same, their jaws and chins are similar in shape. Their lips are the same shape, size and fullness. Features-wise, their only major difference are their noses (Audrey's is more refined, while Pia's is more ethnic) and foreheads (Audrey's is wider, while Pia's is a bit higher and rounder). 

Pia is taller than Audrey by only an inch. She's 5'8 while Audrey is 5'7. They have similar body types - tall, thin, and feminine. But Pia has fuller, more queen-like figure at 34B-23-35. Audrey has a more ramp model-like figure at 34A-20-34.

In the rare case that you do not know who they are, Pia is 2016's Miss Universe from the Philippines, while Audrey is a Hollywood actress and style icon in the 60's.

Imagine Pia with thicker brows and Audrey's signature chopped bangs.

Pia's eye makeup makes her eyes look sharper and longer than they really are, while Audrey's upper eyeliner make hers look rounder.
 
Imagine Audrey with a darker skin tone and thinner brows. Again, try to see past the eye makeup. 

Lips.

Eyes.

Facial Expressions. And again with the inner corners of their eyes.

They both have such tiny, delicate faces. Again, try to see past the heavy eye makeup on both women.

They have similar fashion sense, too. Both are known for their classy, elegant black dresses, and chic updos.

This is not a very flattering photo of Pia, but it shows the similarity of their bone structures especially the brow bones and eye sockets. 

Please tell me you also see it. Lal.

Also, I find it ridiculous that it's been almost 8 months since her coronation but Pia's bashers from Colombia still won't accept their defeat. I've seen the worst of their comments (Hi, Colombians, we Filipinos understand Spanish! Most of us are multilinguals.) regarding Pia's looks. Here is one of Pia's "bad" photos:

Bad.
So yeah, she has a Filipino nose. It's short, lacks forward projection along with the part between her lips and nose. That's also why her inner cheeks seem off. The mid part of her face lacks projection. That's all that's "wrong" with her. Everything else is beautiful. But tell you what, even that "wrong" bit about her is beautiful. You guys wanna know why? Because she's too beautiful inside that whatever is "ugly" outside is completely compensated for. Also, that lack of mid face projection - that's what makes her face Filipina. And we love her for embracing it and making our country proud. Enough of the bullying. She's beautiful, period.

I mean, how can you not see that?
She's pretty even in fan art.

Even without makeup.

Even more so with makeup. The heck's wrong with your eyes? How can you call someone this beautiful ugly?

  2. yup i see the resemblance too. but i find audrey hepburn to be a more striking beauty, which pia wurtzbach also is. donita, now and in her youth, is a little too sweet and normal-looking. she's very pretty, but to me ha, she lacks that intriguing aura.
