'Everything comes back into style!': Heidi Klum, 42, shares throwback photo from Nineties where she looks like Britney Spears 

It was not throwback Thursday, but supermodel Heidi Klum felt like giving her fans a blast.

The 42-year-old Project Runway host shared a throwback photo of herself on Friday that looked like it was taken in the Nineties.

And oddly the supermodel looked like a dead ringer for a young Britney Spears as she wore a pink cropped top and matching low-rise embroidered skirt, bringing instant comparisons to the Baby One More Time songstress circa 1998.

‘Photo Blast from the Past: Everything comes back into style!’ the reality TV star captioned the Instagram post.

Her hair, which she wore straight was also giving off Nineties vibes, with a center part and blonde and brown highlights.

Get your style in check like Heidi in Marc Jacobs

If we had Heidi Klum's ridiculous figure, we would happily parade around in a little bikini (and maybe a sarong if it was nippy) all day. But Heidi clearly has other thoughts (and isn't crazy), choosing to sheath her curves in this gorgeous check midi dress.

We recognized this as a Marc Jacobs frock, thanks to the checkered design - a print that runs throughout the fall collection. We're loving the plunging neckline, which is balanced out by the midi length. And extra style points go to those heavy-duty PVC panels. Gorgeous!

Though Heidi's exact pick is not yet available to buy online, click the link (right) to preorder a similar sleeveless piece.

Need that checked style but on a budget? Look no further than our edit below for our top picks from the high street and beyond. We love the checked wrap skirt of this ASOS number or head to Boohoo to pick up a bargain.

Spears used to dress the same way when she stepped on the music scene with the release of her 1999 debut album Baby One More Time.

The Grammy Award-winning artist was known for her combination of sexy, yet innocent style as she frequently wore mid-drift baring tops and waist-dropping trousers.

Back then Spears’ hair was even similar to Klum’s, except she he rocked the honey blonde look with bangs and chunky highlights.

It's a good week to be Klum. 

On Thursday she was nominated for an Emmy along with co-host Tim Gunn for their reality show Project Runway. 

Season 14 of the show returns to Lifetime on August 6.
