Their budding friendship has played out across celebrity gossip sites worldwide (just the way they like it, we’re assuming).

Now it appears that as Lala Vazquez‘s profile grows from her association with hottest-chick-in-the-game Kim Kardashian (numbers don’t lie; Kim just treated herself to a $4.5 million Beverly Hills mansion from the success of new and current business dealings) she’s also been influenced by her BFF in numerous ways.

Worn on a shopping trip the ladies took last year in Hollywood, one of Kim’s staple outfits – a blazer, tight pants, big shades, chunky jewelry and designer heels – has found its way into Lala’s daily looks:

The above pic is of an increasingly polished Lala this past weekend, shopping in Beverly Hills.

And while we know the hairstyle is being copied by countless females, Lala’s hair is also apparently based on Kim and her sisters’ trademark long, flowing styles.

Kim’s official site, KimKardashian.com, is a significant source of traffic and income for the young entrepreneur – so why wouldn’t Lala start IAmLala.com, with its similar concept of behind the scenes clips, personal family photos, candid shots with their men and more? (Their men, of course, are Super Bowl champion Reggie Bush and Denver Nuggets star Carmelo Anthony. Both couples are not married as yet).

Kim did a guest spot on CSI: NY late last year, which Lala did also. Kim has done guest host spots for the E! network hosting various red carpets, and now Lala’s doing similar correspondent work for EXTRA.

Both ladies are the new decade’s favorite kind of celebrity, leveraging incessant daily exposure into serious business endorsements and opportunities. But is Lala simply becoming Kim’s clone? Or are we just witnessing her grow from a more street-oriented MTV VJ to a mainstream glamazon?

Only time will tell…but if we hear her start calling people “doll” we know it’s a wrap.
