London

In the wake of a Timothée Chalamet look-alike competition in New York, celebrity doppelganger contests are taking off across the globe, celebrating stars like Harry Styles and Paul Mescal. Recently, London’s Soho Square played host to a crowd of over 100 fans and 12 Styles look-alikes, who gathered for a contest organized by journalist Katrina Mirpuri. Meanwhile, Dublin staged a Paul Mescal look-alike event, offering modest prizes and the all-important bragging rights. These quirky gatherings bring together fans and doppelgangers alike, as YouTuber Anthony Po, organizer of the original Chalamet event, described his aim to create public stunts that people can enjoy and reminisce about for years.
