It didn't take long for the girl's identity to be revealed. Ala’a Sky is quite the stunner.
Her mother Bria says she has always wanted to be a model.
With Rihanna and Tyra Banks in her corner, Ala'a could get the big break that she needs.
Who knows, she might even star in one of RiRi's Fenty campaigns in the near future.
Here's what social media users had to say about Rihanna's mini-me.
