It looks like they were separated at birth, but lookalikes Nina Dobrev and Victoria Justice are not related. In October 2015, they finally met at the sixth annual Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic, where American model Melanie Iglesias joined them.

After six successful seasons, Nina Dobrev departed The Vampire Diaries, but her popularity remained strong. In December 2015, she made a notable appearance at the red carpet launch of The Beauty Book For Brain Cancer to show her support for brain cancer research.
