“Happy birthday to my beautiful daughter Carys. You are the joy of my life. 21 years of watching you blossom into the most incredible woman you are today is a gift from God that I never take for granted and that I cherish every day of my life. Thanks for being the way you are. I love you with all my heart. Mother". With this emotional message, Catherine Zeta-Jones celebrated the coming of age in the United States of her daughter Carys.
A very important day for the young woman, who published several images of her birthday party with her friends on Instagram. “The most perfect 21st birthday she could ask for,” Carys, who studies film and international relations at Brown University, wrote on the social network.
The daughter of Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas surprised in the images with a look that several fans of her famous mother instantly recognized. For this special day, she recovered from the actress's closet a design that she wore on a red carpet 25 years ago.
The birthday girl wore the Emanuel Ungaro slip dress that Catherine debuted for the MTV Movie Awards in 1999. A delicate piece made of pink silk and with delicate floral embroidery and lace on the chest and sides of the skirt.
At that time, Zeta-Jones combined the Ungaro design with silver sandals and a Fendi bag full of sequins and showed off her wavy hair with a casual touch. More than two decades later, her daughter recycled a timeless dress and wore it with exactly the same hairstyle.
In recent years there have been several daughters of celebrities who have not hesitated to go to their mothers' dressing rooms to show off their most spectacular designs. Apple Martin, Gwyneth Paltrow's daughter, dazzled last summer with the striking Alexander McQueen dress that the protagonist of Shakespeare in Love wore at the Oscars in 2002.
Zahara Jolie-Pitt, Angelina Jolie's daughter, also made an impact a couple of years ago with the Elie Saab jewel design that her mother wore to the same film awards in 2014, while Valentina Paloma Pinault, Salma Hayek's daughter, debuted on the red carpet in a red Isaac Mizrahi dress that the actress had debuted in 1997.
