Lena Dunham circa Girls.

When everyone was going mad watching it I got loads of facebook tags and messages about it.

She does look eerily like a young version of my mum so maybe there's something to it.

In the 90s I often got told I looked like “one of the Allsaints” but not always the same one. I think it’s because I look like a blend of the Appleton sisters and a bit of Melanie Blatt.

I have been told I have Kate Moss eyes and my little cousin used to look exactly like KM, and just a few months ago then my uncle, the father of the KM cousin lookalike said that in a particular photo my DD looked like KM! We all have KM eyes but not her fabulous cheekbones!
Bjork Blush
Dawn who was in Eastenders (Kara Tointon)

Lacey Turner a few times. I don’t see it!

EsterOdesavitch · 13/09/2020 06:59

Caroline Quentin, in the Men Behaving Badly years. I think the similarity was the dark hair, straight nose and sarcasm.

wowfudge · 13/09/2020 07:03

When I was younger Natalie Wood and Liz Taylor. I wish! I used to have very dark brown hair, but I'm grey now.

TweeBree · 13/09/2020 07:19

Samantha Cameron. I've always thought she had a bit of a horsey face, so I wasn't thrilled with that one.

Misskittyfantastico85 · 13/09/2020 07:22

I get claire goose, and Julie from coronation street.

Legallybleachblonde · 13/09/2020 07:23

Emilia Fox, which I sort of get (although wouldn't say I had her elegance!)

When I was about 17 (back in the 80s, freckled face, sporting a curly perm and before I'd embraced the bleach) a man at my Mum's work said I looked like Sarah Fergusson!!! I was gutted!
