Catherine Zeta-Jones joined by mini-me daughter on red carpet

They say parents’ characteristics rub off on their kids, and it certainly seems to be the case for Catherine Zeta-Jones and her 14-year-old daughter Carys.

The pair made a rare joint appearance in New York on Sunday, and stole the show with their glamorous outfits as they posed hand-in-hand in front of cameras.

Catherine, 48, wasn’t afraid to risk an eye roll from her teenage daughter as she stepped out in her skimpy dress. Showing off her figure, the actress stunned in a black lace dress with a see-through skirt and corset-style top.

While it’s not uncommon for teenagers to be embarrassed by their friends, Carys appeared delighted to spend the evening out with her mum and smiled for the cameras in an off-the-shoulder floral top, black high-waisted skinny jeans and heels – making her tower next to her actress mum. The pair were at the Dolce & Gabbana show, and were captured walking inside hand-in-hand looking more like sisters than mother and daughter.

Catherine shared the clip on her Instagram page a few hours later, re-posting it from Gabbana himself, and wrote: “Just arriving at the Dolce and Gabbana show with Carys. We are so excited.”

The pair only make rare public appearances together, but they were snapped last September at another fashion show in New York, signalling Carys has an early interest in the modelling industry. Catherine confirmed her daughter has a keen eye for fashion shortly after that event, and said she’s interested in a career in the limelight.

“She wants to get into the business in all its capacity. She is a wonderful actress and wonderful singer and pianist but she loves fashion,” the Hollywood star said at the time.

Of course, there’s no better mentor than your own mum, and Catherine has been offering Carys some handy advice. She added to E! News: “She’s very head strong in her career. A doctor has always been in the cards but acting is her passion and I’ve schooled them that the business is broad these days and you’ve got to go out there knowing that there’s critiques.”

The actress is under no illusions that it won’t be hard work and perhaps some pressure for both Carys and her son Dylan, and she said earlier last year: “You know, I know it’s going to be hard for them because they’ve got their grandfather, Kirk [Douglas], they’ve got me, they have Michael.

“But they so inherently love it and they’re good!”

Do you think Catherine and Carys look strikingly similar? Do you look very similar to your daughter or son?
