Unlike her friends the Beckhams – whose son Romeo starred in an advertising campaign for Burberry aged just 10 – actress Kate Beckinsale has been protective of her young daughter, Lily.
There have been the odd public appearances – notably on a red carpet somewhere  in her native Los Angeles in 2013, and on the front row at a Burberry fashion show the same year – but otherwise, we’re not overly familiar with the teenager.
So it’s interesting to see that 16-year-old Lily Mo Sheen has quietly blossomed into the spitting image of her mother. A  photo recently posted on Instagram shows Sheen beside her famous father in the Welsh countryside, attending a wedding in Powys where hair and make-up were called in not for publicity purposes, but for her role as a bridesmaid.

Having raided our archive for pictures of Lily’s London-born mother, the similarities between the 16-year-old and Kate Beckinsale aged 23 are all too clear to see.

Beckinsale and Sheen were together for eight years until they split in 2003. The actress has since married director Len Wiseman who she met on the set of Underworld and they live together in Los Angeles.
Only time will tell if Lily will follow in her mother’s acting and modelling footsteps, but in Hollywood one can never be too young; fellow 16-year-old Lily Rose Depp, the daughter of Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis, has just landed a Chanel campaign.
