Beyoncé lookalike attracts marriage offers, $25K for a night

Maybe she’s not irreplaceable.

A Brazilian woman says she has bagged job offers, marriage proposals, and even an overnight proposition for $25,000 because she looks just like Beyoncé.

“When people see me, they immediately comment that I look like the singer,” Juliana Machado Sotinho, 35, told SWNS.

“Most of them are surprised by the extent of the resemblance,” Sotinho continued. “People always say, ‘Wow, did you know that you look like Beyoncé?’ Or, ‘Girl, you are a lucky person, you remind me a lot of Queen B.’”

Sotinho, who hails from Iguaba Grande in Rio de Janeiro, said she only noticed her resemblance to Beyoncé, 42, when she began posting on social media in 2019.

Since then, Sotinho has attracted unwanted attention from men.

The happily married mom of six claims she has received five marriage proposals and a $25,000 offer to spend the night.

“People know I’m married because I always show what my life is like on social media, but I’ve already received offers to spend a night with me,” Sotinho explained.

Sotinho said she became inundated with TikTok comments when she traded her brunette locks for a blond wig.

Her videos started gaining traction, and Beyoncé fans flooded her page.

“I was always a brunette, but when I decided to change that, I realized that I was reminding people of her a lot,” Sotinho shared. “I remind people a lot of Beyoncé and her sister Solange — my audience is very divided.”

Sotinho decided to lean into the comparisons by impersonating the Texas-born “Run the World” singer — she amassed 142,000 followers across TikTok and Instagram and several business partnerships to promote products.

But no Grammys (yet).

Sotinho even went so far as to name her youngest child Giselle, which is Beyoncé’s middle name.

Beyoncé has three children with Jay-Z, 54: Blue Ivy, 12, and 6-year-old twins Rumi and Sir.

Sotinho’s children range in age between 1 and 15 — and she’s grateful she’s able to provide for them with her looks.

“Who doesn’t like being compared to the diva of divas?” Sotinho gushed. “I feel like the luckiest and most blessed woman alive.”
