Looks like Beyoncé really can do just about anything — like make you famous overnight.

After this photo was posted to Instagram, on March 19, the Internet went wild. Jay Z's better half posed for a pic with sisters Kelsi Leggett (left) and Kristin Douglas (right), who were first thought to be Bey's cousins. Shortly after, Douglas and her booty caught the attention of, well, thousands.
She later clarified to TMZ that she is not in fact the cousin of the famous singer, but she and sister Kelsi are the goddaughters of Uncle Skip.
Upon posting the pic, Douglas, a self-described nurse with two children, went from an undiscovered identity to an online sensation. Her Instagram following skyrocketed from a mere 2k to now 87k and counting. Twitter and Instagram goers were quick to point out Douglas' gorgeous looks and "bootylicious" figure.
Take a look at what some users who discovered the photo had to say.

It may come as a surprise to some that the social media success hasn't been discovered until now. In the past, Douglas has posted Beyoncé memes to her Instagram page referencing Blue Ivy and Yoncé herself, but has managed to fly under the radar.
Now five days later and 85k followers plus, the blue dress beauty has garnered the attention of some higher profile fans — rappers and nightclubs. According to TMZ, during an appearance on TMZ Live this past Wednesday, Douglas revealed that a bunch of clubs want her to appear (for a price) and rappers have also inquired.
