One is one of the world’s most beautiful and successful models.
The other is a teenage modelling star from Brazilian and Italian heritage, with a cult following all of her own.
And while on paper, these two personalities might not seem similar, when you look at their photographs, it’s easy to see a striking resemblance between Paula La Croix, 16, and Gisele Bündchen, 37.
Paula La Croix (pictured), 16, is a model who is frequently being compared to international supermodel, Gisele Bündchen, 37, online
Gisele (pictured) occupied the position of the highest-paid model in the world for fifteen years, before Kendall Jenner overtook her
Both Paula (pictured) and Gisele share similar features – including tortoiseshell hair colour, bombshell waves and striking features
From their matching tortoiseshell hair colour to their similar bombshell-like waves and giant almond-shaped eyes, the two look as if they come from the same family, rather than merely sharing the same nationality.
They even share the same athletic, tall toned frame and strong features.
This is something that Paula is regularly reminded of on her own Instagram profile, where she boasts an impressive 258,000 followers who comment on the uncanny resemblance almost daily.

Paula (pictured) described being compared to Gisele as ‘simply amazing’ – but said she wants to carve out her ‘own path’ as a model too
‘Being compared to Gisele is an honour, she is simply amazing,’ Paula previously told Yahoo Lifestyle.
‘I believe the comparison has only generated great things due to my attitude upon it.’
The sixteen-year-old also added that she is ‘of course inspired’ by Gisele, principally thanks to her ‘resilience and confidence’.
But, she said, she doesn’t compare herself ‘as we are both unique’ and she wants to ‘create my own path’.
As well as attending school, the talented teenager has appeared on the catwalk at the Grinko fashion show at Milan Fashion Week (pictured)
Paula (pictured) said she would love to work with some big brands in the future, like Gucci or Victoria’s Secret

Countless followers on Paula’s Instagram page tell her how much she looks like the Brazilian supermodel
While the talented teenager is already enjoying whirlwind modelling success, Paula also continues to attend school and is prioritising her education as well as her modelling career.
She recently appeared in the Grinko show at Milan Fashion Week, which was just one occasion upon which people commented upon her likeness to Gisele.
She has said in the past she harbours ambitions to work with big brands like Gucci and Victoria’ Secret, as Gisele herself did between 1999 and 2006.
For nearly fifteen consecutive years – and up until late 2017 – Gisele topped Forbes’ list as the highest-paid model in the world.
She was only last year toppled by It girl of the moment, Kendall Jenner.
