Rita Ora has brought new meaning to the words 'shaggy dog hairstyle'. Only, there's nothing shaggy about the luscious fur of this buttery brunette spaniel the singer couldn't resist posting her resemblance with.

Creating a duet video on TikTok with @Hugo, Hattie & their Humans, the star joked that her hairstyle resembled a buttery brunette spaniel. The singer recreated a video of the (very gorgeous) dog Hattie, complete with puppy dog eyes. She told fans and followers; "I finally found my twin I’ve been looking for ages. Same hairstyles".

Rita was wearing a very 00s half-up, half-down hairstyle with tiny topknot pony, often dubbed a pineapple, and Hattie was sporting the exact same. Rita also had loose face-framing bangs, just like the pup's but honestly, its Hattie's haircare routine we're dying to know. Sorry ma'am, but what shampoo do you use on your ears?

Even Rita's glitter tinsel extensions worked for the twinning moment because pup Hattie's hair is just so shiny! This moment is reminding us of the park scene at the start of the animated 101 Dalmations when all the people look like their pups and now we need to rewatch it.

Of course, fans loved the video and inundated the comments section:

"The resemblance is killing me πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚"
"Ones cute and cuddly & the others a dog πŸ₯°"
"You vs who she tells you not to worry about 😳"
"Who wore it better returns"

Rita took her puppy hairstyle out on the town for a glamorous evening with friends Sienna Millar and Adwoa Aboah. And if you thought the hairstyle was 00s, let's take a moment for her calf-length, low-rise denim skirt and mini cardi combo. The outfit is a time machine, in the best way.

Everyone's clicking on...

Dogs and 00s fashion is basically my whole discover page right now, so Rita's really nailing the moment.
