Amanda Holden sparked debate among her followers after attending the British Fashion Awards 2022 with her 16-year-old daughter Lexi. The Britain's Got Talent judge shared photos on Instagram of the pair at London's Royal Albert Hall, where Lexi made her red carpet debut.
Holden, 51, wore a striking red off-the-shoulder Nicolas Jebran gown made of shiny PVC material that hugged her curves and featured a floor-length train. Lexi opted for a Sylvio Giardina black gown with a lace bodice and ruffled skirt, accessorised with thin-strapped heels and silver necklaces, her blond hair slicked back into a ponytail.
Before the event, Holden filmed Lexi preparing, captioning the video: 'My little Lexi is coming to #fashionawards2022. She's going official.' The mother-daughter duo received an outpouring of compliments from celebrities including Piers Morgan, Michelle Visage, and Nicola McLean, with many praising their resemblance.
However, some fans criticised Lexi's mature look. One wrote: 'Oh no why do you want her to look old before her time,' while another added: 'Sorry no, way too mature a look for such a beautiful young teenager.' Others defended the pair, with one commenter saying: 'Both absolutely stunning. The dresses, the looks and the bond between you - very inspiring.'
