Margot Robbie showed off her glamorous lookalike mother Sarie Kessler at the premiere of her latest film, Babylon.

The Aussie actress, 32, and the 65-year-old physiotherapist cut striking figures on the red carpet at Thursday night’s glitzy event in Los Angeles.

The Academy Award-nominee was all smiles as she posed alongside her glamorous mother before heading into the star-studded screening held at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures.

Robbie wore a stunning hooded black cut-out floor-length dress, complete with a fur-trimmed train that draped down her left leg and grazed the floor.

Sarie showed off her trim figure in a black gown with a daring plunging neckline, colourful beaded shoulders and, like her daughter’s, it had a thigh-high slit that showed off her legs and high heels.

Sarie, who also bears an uncanny resemblance to Sharon Stone, beamed with pride as she took in the moment with her superstar daughter.

Robbie also looked delighted to have her mother as her plus one as she wrapped her around her.

The Wolf Of Wall Street star was raised along with her three siblings by single mother Sarie in Queensland, Australia.

Her father Doug Robbie, a sugarcane tycoon, reportedly left her and her three siblings when they were younger, according to Aussie mag New Idea.

In the September 2019 issue of Vogue Australia, Robbie revealed that she’d spent her first-ever acting paycheque on her mother.

She explained to Sarie, who was interviewing her for the magazine: “I spent it on paying you back, mum. Don’t you remember? I was so in debt by the end of grade 12.

“I had everything I owed you written on a piece of paper, and every time I got a paycheque I paid off my debt, but then I kept the piece of paper because it was so satisfying at the end to know I’d paid it all back.”
