Canadian model Coco Rocha was immortalized as a mannequin, mere months after androgynous British supermodel Agyness Deyn was also recreated as a Rootstein.
The Vancouver native had two mannequins created in her likeness, one with the brunette 'do that got her famous, and another with her new fiery red tresses.
Although the Coco Rocha mannequins look beautiful, it's certainly not a replica.
