Movie star Jessica Alba has proudly shared that her daughters wore some of her classic red carpet looks at the premiere of her new Netflix movie, Trigger Warning.

The 43-year-old mum said her eldest daughter Honor, 16, wore a Prada checked dress to the premiere that she’d already worn to the premiere of her movie Valentine’s Day back in 2010.

Meanwhile, her youngest daughter Haven, 12, wore a denim Dolce and Gabbana dress that she’d worn to promote the romantic comedy Good Luck Chuck in 2010.

“I love seeing my girls wear some of my archived pieces and adding their own touch,” she wrote on Instagram.

People were quick to comment on how sweet it was to see the girls paying tribute to their famous mum including actor Eva Mendes who wrote, “this is so damn sweet,”

“I love this,” one wrote.

“Mummy and daughter goals,” another remarked.

“Gorgeous! This is so special,” Aussie actor Teresa Palmer commented.

Alba is best known for her work in early 2000s films like Good Luck ChuckInto The Blue, and Sin City.

In true Gwyneth Paltrow style, she transitioned from acting into running her wellness brand, Honest Company, but now seems to be leaning back into acting.

Alba is pretty private but always happy to gush about her children.

Recently, she said she was crying while writing an Instagram birthday tribute for Honor and called being a mum the “most tender” feeling in the world.

Alba praised her daughter for being sweet but also wise and allowing only people she trusted to be close to her.

This is probably a handy habit when your mum’s a movie star.

“You sniff out fake people like no other. You are effortless in standing in your truth, you are considerate and kind and you care deeply about everyone around you,” she gushed.

Alba added she was proud her daughter always chose doing what is right over doing what is cool, and putting her mental wellness first.

“You are a powerhouse of a human, and you are only 16! We are all so blessed, my baby, and I feel tremendously grateful for our relationship and our bond,” she wrote.

“I love you more than words could ever express. You are growing up way too fast for me, but I couldn’t be more proud.”
