Lexi Hughes Marks Milestone Birthday in Iconic Outfit
Amanda Holden's eldest daughter, Lexi Hughes, celebrated a significant milestone this week, turning 20 years old. The television personality, 54, took to Instagram on Tuesday to mark her daughter's special day with a series of playful and sentimental posts.
Lexi, who has forged a successful modelling career, marked the occasion by transforming into a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader. She looked sensational in the American football squad's iconic uniform, showcasing her figure in the classic white-and-blue hot pants and matching crop top.
The young model completed the energetic look with a pair of towering white ankle boots and enthusiastically waved the team's signature blue and white pom poms.
A Sweet Throwback and Celebrity Well-Wishes
Alongside the birthday photo, Amanda shared a heartwarming throwback picture of a young Lexi posing in a similar, cheerful manner by a Christmas tree. In her caption, the Britain's Got Talent judge expressed immense pride, writing: 'Put your hands up if you're 20 today!!! Mama and Dada love you so much - our strong, bright, kind, loyal, funny girl!!!! Little Lexi Lou.'
The post quickly attracted attention from Amanda's famous friends and followers. Celebrities including Claudia Winkleman and Ashley Roberts joined the flood of fans in the comments section to wish the birthday girl well.
Modelling Success and Family Dynamics
Lexi's birthday celebration comes on the heels of her growing success in the fashion and beauty world. Last year, she was unveiled as the face of high-street retailer Superdrug after signing her first modelling contract. She has since launched her own skincare range, POP, for the pharmacy chain.
Amanda, who shares Lexi and her 13-year-old daughter Hollie with music producer husband Chris Hughes, 51, is known for her close bond with her girls. The family enjoyed a glamorous trip to Los Angeles in October, where they were photographed outside the iconic Beverly Hills Hotel.
However, Amanda has humorously noted that her youngest, Hollie, is currently in a phase of wanting 'no connection' with her famous mother, even crossing the road to avoid being seen with her after school.
The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders (DCC), whose outfit Lexi sported, have seen a major resurgence in global popularity. While famous since the late 1970s, their profile was boosted internationally by the 2024 Netflix docuseries 'America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders'. The show's success led to a confirmed second series in 2025.
