We all know, love, and appreciate Post Malone. Even if you're not a fan of his music, chances are, you think he's a good guy.
He's funny, he is honest about who he is, and most importantly, he likes Shania Twain. What's not to like?

You open this article, and you think, "Okay, so maybe this guy looks like Post Malone if you squint." And maybe you decide to bail.
Do not bail. Because I have a surprise for you: which one of these people do you think this article is about?
He's not the Post Malone lookalike.
She is.
Meet Rachel Aquilina (and her boyfriend, Lewis Hall-Henson). She's a communications manager working in childcare, she lives in Sydney, Australia, and she has the ability to make herself look eerily like Post Malone.
Her school decided to throw a themed party for their annual Christmas party.
This year's theme? "Battle of the Bands and Solo Singers."
Clearly, Rachel knew what she had to do.
"Working in childcare, where literally every staff member but one is female, I knew that your typical cosplay for this theme would be your Britney Spears, Spice Girls and Madonna," she told them.
So she put a lot of care into getting the details of her costume right, including the hair.
"I had one of the girls at work braid my hair as it's one of Post's styles."
Apparently, she committed so hard to the look that she found a way to emulate the frizz in his hair: by shampooing her hair the night before, but skipping the conditioner.
Girl, I salute you.
Curly hair, distinctive beard, even more distinctive tattoos — that's what makes up rapper Post Malone's now-iconic look.
He has a sense of style that is all his own, which I can 100% confirm Rachel nailed.
For her sideburns and beard, she used beard clippings and brown powder for the full effect.
Okay, so...she definitely used Lewis' beard clippings, didn't she? We stan this lowkey drag king.
She found removable replicas of his tattoos on eBay.
"I had my fiance help put them on each part of each finger, on each hand, as well as to keep checking Post's photos to make sure I was doing it right."
"I then turned up to work the next day looking how I did - tatted up with fuzzy hair!"
For the party, some fake paparazzi swarmed the stars to "interview" them.
When she rolled up to school wearing a tropical-print outfit, a Gucci bag, and white sneakers, a fellow musician challenged her to a rap battle.
She wound up battling Eminem, which I would pay money to see.
"Not once in deciding to dress as Post or putting on all those tats did I once think 'This is going to be so hard to get off.'" She said.
Everyone was so shocked at the transformation that they almost couldn't believe it was Rachel under all those Post tattoos.
The power of costumes, dedication, and beard hair, people. It can change lives.
"[Expletive] off, you look sooo much like him!! Haha this is the best. You actually look hot," one dope commenter wrote.
Get you a friend who will compliment you like Courtney will.
"You were totally fabulous. Thank you for making my night #thankgodyoucametoworkwithus 💕" Guys, this is so frickin' cute.
We love coworkers who love their coworkers!
I can't wait to see what everyone does next year.
