A TV star's nepo baby daughter was the double of her famous mum after glamming up for a posh event.
The student and model, 18, attended a bash thrown by fashion magazine Tatler and definitely looked the part.

She turned up the glamour in a black and silver pinstripe suit which she teamed with a sheer black top.
Amanda Holden's eldest daughter Lexi opted for dramatic smokey eye make-up, wore her blonde hair down and straight and accessorised with understated gold jewellery.
Proud mum Amanda, 53 - who also shares daughter Hollie, 12, with husband Chris Hughes - posted a montage of snaps of Lexi on Instagram.
She wrote: "@lexihughes_ off to the @tatlermagazine Little Black Book party. She's always shy of posting!"
Fans were quick to comment on the post, with one writing: "Beautiful just like her mother."
Another said: "She has her mum's looks!" And a third added: "She looks incredible!"
In 2022 Amanda revealed Lexi had signed Storm Management, who discovered supermodel Kate Moss when she was just 14.
She said: “Lexi has just signed with Storm Management this week.
“They came after her and they're very lovely and nurturing and it will be a soft, slow thing and she won't do anything until she's 18 but they want her and that's what she wants to do.”
She continued to the MailOnline: “She has made the decision to sign with them and Chris and I support her, and we are very protective but they're very keen."

But Lexi is also prioritising her studies and this year moved away for university.
Amanda and Lexi jetted off in August to celebrate her A-level results, with the Britain's Got Talent judge writing on Instagram: "All the grades and first choice uni, what a bloody relief."
What is a Nepo Baby?
A 'nepo baby' is a colloquial term used to describe individuals who have gained opportunities or success in their careers primarily due to familial connections or the influence of their well-known or wealthy parents, rather than solely through their own talent, skills, or efforts.
The term 'nepo' is short for 'nepotism', which refers to favouritism granted to relatives or close friends, often in a professional context.
Key Characteristics:
- Inherited advantage: Nepo babies often benefit from their family's established reputation, wealth, or industry connections.
- Access to networks: They typically have easier access to influential networks and resources within their chosen field.
- Public perception: The term can carry a negative connotation, implying that their success is not entirely merit-based.
Industries Affected:
- Entertainment: Many actors, musicians, and other performers are often labeled as nepo babies if they have famous parents.
- Business: Individuals who inherit or are given significant roles in family-owned businesses.
- Politics: Politicians who follow in the footsteps of their parents or other relatives.
Examples:
- Children of famous actors who become actors themselves.
- Heirs to business empires who assume executive roles.
- Offspring of political figures who enter public office.
The concept of nepo babies is often debated, with some arguing that it undermines the notion of meritocracy.
Meanwhile, others believe that it is natural for families to support and help each other succeed.
