California beauty queen, 21, looks like Ariana Grande

With her petite frame, large brown eyes and long brunette locks in a slick high ponytail, this beauty queen is the spitting image of popstar Ariana Grande. 

Alexxa Morgan, 21, from San Diego, California, looks so much like the American singer that she is even stopped on the street for starstruck strangers. 

Alexxa, an aspiring TV presenter, said she is ‘flattered’ to be compared to the 24-year-old starlet.

‘She’s beautiful,’ Alexxa said. ‘I think that she is an incredibly talented singer and has a great sense of fashion.’

Photos show Alexxa recreating Arianna’s signature oversized sweatshirt dress outfit and channelling some of the singer’s red carpet looks.   

Another image shows Alexxa relaxing on the beach with a Macaw on her arm, reminiscent of Ariana’s recent Instagram posts showing her getting up close and personal with the animals at Australia Zoo.

Alexxa said: ‘Some of my friends refer to me as Ariana because they think we look so much alike. Especially when I have my pulled up in a ponytail.

‘I don’t purposefully try to look like her on a daily basis. I think that everyone should embrace their own personal style.’ 

Alexxa was crowned Miss Teenage California in 2014 and had the opportunity to compete at Miss Teen America.

She is also a keen volunteer and has worked with many organisations, raising money for Make-A-Wish Foundation, the Muscular Dystrophy Association and San Diego Burns Institute.

The 21-year-old also revealed the secrets to her beauty looks. 

‘I like to stick with the basics. If you have a clean canvas, everything else is much easier to maintain,’ Alexxa said.

‘Good skin, groomed eyebrows and healthy hair. My hair definitely takes the longest to manage because it’s so long and thick. Most people think my hair isn’t real.

‘I generally am able to do my makeup in 15 to 20 minutes. But for special occasions it can take me up to an hour.

‘Generally, people first ask if I have ever been told that I look like Ariana Grande and other people ask me what is my ethnicity, I am French, Filipino, Hispanic, and Spanish Basque.’
