...my dd looks a lot like Claudia Winkleman (without the tan), I told her but she wasn't very pleased. Does anyone else look like or want to look like anyone famous?

When I was younger people used to say I looked like Gloria Estefan (shows my age). Now I regularly get told I look like Tulisa which given all the trouble she's been in lately isn't wonderful.

Marion cotillard. BUT it's more like a family resemblance than that I actually look like her. I look like her older, non sleb, less slim,less pretty sister. But there is something there as a few people have commented, even though as they say it I know they're thinking 'but less attractive'.

my 12 yo dd looks like helena christensen.

Monica Bellucci mainly. I'd like to look like Audrey Hepburn with bigger boobs.

BecauseIsaidS0 · 28/07/2014 16:19

I'm the spitting image of Alyssa Milano

cardamomginger · 28/07/2014 16:24

I look like Nicole Kidman.

Gillybobs · 28/07/2014 17:08

Gillian Anderson. Also my (first) namesake.

TondelayoSchwarzkopf · 28/07/2014 17:10

You must be a very good looking couple Santa Maria !

BaileyWhite · 28/07/2014 17:16

I used to get told I looked a lot like Debbie Harry in my youth. I have those wide and high cheekbones and used to dress/do my hair in a similar fashion. Was not doing the look a like thing though

DHandhisgrossfoot · 28/07/2014 17:17

When I was a bit chubbier younger I looked a lot like Mariah Carey. I look nothing like her now though Grin

Cocolepew · 28/07/2014 17:47

I'd love to look like Debbie Harry Envy

Shia · 28/07/2014 17:50

I used to look like Penelope Tree or Cher in her Sonny and Cher days.

Later on, my dad reckoned I look like Michael Jadkson.

Now I don't have black hair anymore so am not so sure who I looked like!

My ex was the spitting image of Gru from the despicables.

My son looks a bit like Jim Morriosn in the famous picture of him.

My daughter looks like Lindsey Lohan before Lindsey spoilt her face.

When Cat Deely was younger and fuller-faced I used to get told that I looked similar. People would shout out "Cat!" at me in the street. Was quite nice actually. I look nothing like her now, unfortunately.

BaileyWhite · 28/07/2014 18:20

Coco

I don't so much any more Sad. But I did once (will have to do :) )

HeffalumpsnWoozles · 28/07/2014 18:23

Apparently I look like Alison King (Carla from Corrie) apart from having dark hair I can't see it at all? When I was younger with my permed bleached messy 80's hair I looked like John Taylor...great I looked like a boy!

stillenacht1 · 28/07/2014 18:23

When I was younger I used to get stopped for autographs because people thought I was Rebekah Elmagoglu (not sure on spelling) who played Sophie in Home and Away in the early 90s.

Fatmanbuttsam · 28/07/2014 18:32

In my youth I was likened to Princess Caroline of Monaco......now.....probably more like her brother.....portly but without the balding so far .....
Gosh I wish I appreciated more how good I looked back then.....I sure would now

Floop · 28/07/2014 18:38

I look somewhere between Kristen Stewart and Rachel Weiss apparently.

Really I'm just pale, dark haired and look disinterested most of the time.

plentyofshoes · 28/07/2014 18:39

Nelly Furtado apparently.
Very vague comparison. I have a growing suspicion that I am starting to look like Davina Mcall though.

chockbic · 28/07/2014 18:41

Does anyone look like an ugly celeb? Grin

poorbuthappy · 28/07/2014 18:42

Gillian Anderson in my younger days apparently.

mummaduke · 28/07/2014 18:43

I often get Naomi Watts and/or Nicole Kidman...

LovelyMarchHare · 28/07/2014 18:44

Chockbic - I was going to say the same thing!

Seriouslyffs · 28/07/2014 18:44

I so Chockbik I look like Lena Dunham.
But older Hmm

BarbaraPalmer · 28/07/2014 18:46

15 years ago, I was often told I looked a lot like Zoe Ball

Then I aged, and put on 2st, and she did neither. It doesn't happen any more.

Nephew is the image of Justin Bieber, but you get in real trouble if you mention it, as he is far too cool for this to be a good thing.

TheLateMrsLizCromwell · 28/07/2014 18:47

lol, told a few times Audrey Hepburn - however feel more like her great-granny...
