Previously, EastEnders legend Charlie Brooks, 44, has gushed over her “beautiful” look-a-like daughter, Kiki.
And the 20-year-old was a dead ringer for the Janine Butcher actress as she styled her hair into corkscrew curls similar to that of the BBC One soap character, complete with a pop of red lippie.
She added a thick flick of black eyeliner and pulled on a leather jacket to complete her Sandy-inspired Grease movie look.
Kiki, who describes herself as an actress working across London and Ibiza, has often delighted fans with her close resemblance to her mum.

Charlie shares her daughter with ex-fiance Tony Truman, and Kiki has previously starred in shows including The Dumping Ground and The Kennedys.
She recently showed off her glam look while sporting a leopard-print headscarf.
Charlie first joined EastEnders as Janine in 1999, before leaving the soap in May 2004.
The actress has since rejoined and left the soap several times, including a long stint from April 2021.

STRONG BOND
Earlier this year, Kiki was seen supporting her screen star mum in the Dancing On Ice audience.
She was spotted sobbing following a particularly emotional routine – which had a very personal meaning.
The skate itself was a celebration of the close bond between Charlie and her only child.
Charlie and ITV show partner Eric Radford performed a dazzling routine to Adele’s hit Someone Like You in shimmering black outfits.
Previously, Charlie has described her daughter as her “biggest teacher” but admits she’d love “more cuddles”.
EastEnders stars who QUIT
MICHELLE Collins has seen her second EastEnders stint boost her bank balance. Yet what stars have quit this year?
The Sun exclusively reported how Michelle, 62, was down to £20,000 in her company accounts when she agreed to a shock back-from-the-dead return to Albert Square last year.
Her character, Cindy Beale, was presumed dead off-camera in 1998.
Yet what about the 2024 exits?
Earlier this summer, loyal soap fans appeared to note how Stevie Mitchell had “quit” the long-running series.
It came after Alan Ford enjoyed just six-months on-screen.
Bobby Beale actor Clay Milner Russell also left this year after five years in Walford.
Fans also feared Martin Fowler actor James Bye would “quit out of boredom” over recent storylines.
Additionally, a host of stars have quit the BBC soap for Hollywood fame.
One of the most successful stars to come from the BBC One soap is Rob Kazinsky.
He played Stacey Slater’s brother Sean Slater from 2006 to 2009, he has starred in Hollywood blockbusters Pacific Rim and Captain Marvel.
Ben Hardy, who quit EastEnders as Bobby Beale almost a decade ago, went on to break Hollywood the following year, when he starred as Archangel in X-Men: Apocalypse.
Since then, he has played Roger Taylor in Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, and he starred in Michael Bay’s Netflix movie 6 Underground.
Michelle Ryan played Zoe Slater until 2005.
She starred as the lead in short-lived American series Bionic Woman from 2007 to 2008.
The iconic EastEnders villain wrote three years ago in an emotional social media post: “Happy 17th birthday little miss kiki. YOUR SEVENTEEN! Jesus Christ [sic].
“We are doing life aren’t we?! Up and down and in and out. I wouldn’t change it for the world.
‘Well… I might wish for some more cuddles and the occasional cup of tea.
“You have been my biggest teacher, and I love you more than you will ever know. On we go my little not so little girl xx.”
FAMILY FIRST
Charlie and her now-ex fiancé Tony – an Ibiza nightclub owner – welcomed Kiki into the world in 2004.
The couple split two years after their daughter’s birth but have always remained really close.
Last year, Charlie revealed that Tony even lived in a flat above her house and that they had spent Christmas Day together as a happy family – along with Charlie’s then-boyfriend Ben Hollington.
Speaking on Yahoo UK’s White Wine Question Time podcast, she said: “My ex partner Ben, who I was with for five or six years, who’s an amazing human being, you know, we woke up on Christmas Day together, all of us.
“Tony would come down, we’d all get into bed and open the presents together with Kiki, cos she adores Ben.”

She added: “Then I was with Ben before that for five or six years, who was just really accepting. Tony absolutely adored him, we all went on holiday together.
“Tony cried when me and Ben broke up. He actually cried.”
