Actress Lela Rochon gave her daughter, Asia Rochon Fuqua, her old red carpet dress for prom and the resemblance is uncanny.
At the 1995 premiere of Waiting To Exhale, Rochon arrived in a red, satin bustier dress with a fringed shawl and matching gloves.
Twenty-six years later, the side-by-side image of the two wearing the glamorous gown is stunning. The actress passed down the dress to her daughter, whose father is famous director Antoine Fuqua.
“Yes I saved the dress❤️… wasn’t sure why but now I know #vintage,” the 57-year-old wrote on her Instagram.
Rochon also announced in April that she and Antoine's 18-year-old daughter is set to attend the University of Southern California this fall.
"Congratulations @asiafuqua
#USC we’re so proud of you! All your hard work has paid off. Keep living your dreams my baby! We love you❤️…#fighton
#trojans," she wrote back in April.
Rochon played the breakout role of Robin Stokes in the 1995 movie Waiting to Exhale, a romance film that follows the stories of four friends as they navigate through love and life.
The film starred Rochon alongside Angela Bassett, Loretta Devine and Whiney Houston and was directed by Forest Whitaker.
“The experience of Waiting To Exhale, it was just magical,” Rochon said on Oprah: Where Are They Now? in 2016. “You knew everybody wanted to be us.”
After becoming a box-office hit and a cultural classic, production for a sequel was set to begin in 2012, which was canceled following Houston’s passing.
"The sequel didn't happen because Whitney passed away," the actress said.
"We were ready to go. Terry McMillan had finished the script, and the studio called and asked if we were all available to shoot in the summer, and they were unsure about Whitney," the actress said, referring to the singer’s struggles with addiction.
"Loretta Devine and I said, 'We don't want anybody else. We want her,'" Rochon said.
Rochon called Houston’s death “heartbreaking on every level,” after she received news that the singer was found dead in a bathtub at a Beverly Hills Hilton hotel, just shy of a pre-Grammy Awards party hosted by Clive Davis.
On the anniversary of Houston's death in February, Rochon posted a photo of the two of them leaning on one another.
"I miss her," she wrote in the caption.
