Few people in this world have supermodel good looks—but it seems that practically everyone in the Hurley family could grace the cover of a magazine. In a new Instagram post for U.K. Mother's Day, model and actor Elizabeth Hurley shared a photo of herself and her 80-year-old mother, Angela Hurley, and they look exactly alike. Read on to see just how striking the resemblance between Hurley and her mother really is—and find out which other member of the family could be the model's twin.

The supermodel praised her lookalike mother for being "wondrous."

From their gleaming smiles to their striking blue-gray eyes, Hurley and her 80-year-old mother share more than a few physical similarities in this undated photo posted to Hurley's Instagram on March 14.

However, it was her mother's guidance throughout her life that Hurley was lauding her for most. "Happy Mothers Day to every mother in the world. I have been blessed to have a wondrous mama and I give thanks for that every day. I've been a mother myself for 18 glorious years and my mother has guided me through every stage of parenthood. All hail our mighty mothers," Hurley captioned the photo of herself and her mom. And for the latest celebrity news delivered straight to your inbox, sign up for our daily newsletter.

After Hurley posted a set of photos of herself wearing only a white bikini bottom and open-front sweater to Instagram in January, former Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan suggested that the pictures had been snapped by Hurley's 18-year-old son, Damian Hurley, calling her "thirsty and creepy." However, Hurley was quick to point out that it was actually her mother who'd been behind the lens. "Far be it for me to suggest the tabloids get their facts muddled, but these pics were in fact taken by my 80 year old mother. Not entirely sure if that puts minds at rest or not," Hurley tweeted.

The family genes are strong among the Hurley clan, but it's not just Elizabeth and her mom who share supermodel good looks. Damian, a model and actor who's starred alongside his mom on E!'s The Royals, also bears an uncanny resemblance to his mother.

"all hail all mamas everywhere. especially mine because she's supreme. happy mama's day xxx," Damian captioned a photo of himself and his mom on March 14. And for another famous kid who's strutting their stuff, Here's Your First Look at Kobe Bryant's Daughter's Modeling Debut.

"happy birthday to my best friend in the world! 80 has NEVER looked this good I love you Grandma xxx," he captioned the photo.
