Who Is Ariel Yasmine? New Details About The Freaky Ariana Grande Lookalike
She's been in almost 15 music videos.
Ariana Grande’s newest album, Thank U, Next, dropped on Friday, and ever since then, people have been freaking out about the track listing. Though it’s lyrically and musically different than her album Sweetener, fans have been looking forward to its release since she debuted her single “thank u, next” in November.
But the one thing that’s causing such a stir is the music video for the last track on her album “break up with your girlfriend, i'm bored.” The video premiered the same day as her album release, and it has us turning our heads. The song features Riverdale’s Charles Melton, as well as an eerie Ariana look-alike named Ariel Yasmine. But who is Ariel Yasmine, anyway?
In the music video, Ariana is at a party and sees a couple that she wants to sabotage and break up. The woman looks similar to her, but with that twist (spoiler alert: Ariana wasn’t interested in the boyfriend after all!), Billboard called the video “sexy and stylish.”
We wholeheartedly agree, but we’re curious about the Ariana wannabe who totally stole the show. Here are five things to know about Ariel Yasmine and her career.

She’s been in music videos for Palm Trees’ “Missing You,” Ahzee’s “We Got This,” Picture This’ “One Drink,” and Kodak Black’s “Callin’ My Shots.” She’s also been in Layto’s “Poor Little Me,” which she called “one of my favorite music videos I have ever done.”
