Amazing: Fashion Celebrities & Their Olympic Body Doubles

Karl Lagerfeld is most like...Scottish Track Cyclist Sir Chris Hoy.

At first glance, we wouldn't expect the Kaiser to have much in common with a man who wears brightly colored spandex each and every day, but good lord, were we wrong. With four gold medals to his name as the most successful male cyclist in Olympic history, Scotland's Chris Hoy is so talented that he was knighted by the Queen for his contribution to the sport. And, with Karl receiving France's Legion of Honour award and kicking ass every season — let's  be real, we're still dreaming about fall '10's furry Chewbacca boots — it's clear that it's more than just body composition that's keeping these two on top.
