She's taking after her arty mother's footsteps, already said to be showing an interest in film directing.

And Anna Friel's look-a-like daughter Gracie, 12, emulated her actress mum as she accompanied her to the 2018 BRIT Awards on Wednesday night, at the O2 in London.

Gracie and Anna, 41, turned up in matching dresses - albeit Anna's was far more risqué - that looked to be vintage-inspired.

Match with mother: Anna Friel brings look-a-like daughter Gracie, 12, as her guest to the BRITs... as pair arrive in quirky matching pink and black ensembles

The pink and black ensembles matched, highlighting how much of a resemblance Gracie has to her mother.

Both girls swept their brunette locks up on their heads and smiled for the cameras before Anna took time to pose dramatically on her own.

Her dress featured a high neck, made with sheer material, that ran down her shoulders and arms and halted at the bust.

Under this she wore a black all-in-one body, showing off her toned pins beneath the light pink lacy dress that covered the outfit.

There were stars and X's stritched into the pattern, with a black and cold belt around the Marcella star's waist.

The skirt portion of the dress featured bows and she completed things with high black wedge heels.

She held on to Gracie's hand as they posed on the red carpet.

Gracie's ensemble was a shoulderless affair and almost Native-American in its patterning.

The bottom half extended out into a tulle skirt and she added black sandles with pink fur at the toes.

Both ladies showcases flawless complexions, with Anna sweeping a dash of bronzer to her cheeks.

Gracie wore light pink gloss on her lips to compliment her outfit.

Anna Faris made a sheer amazing entrance on to the BRIT Awards red carpet tonight as the actress looked pretty in pink wearing Temperley London.

We love her cute but daring vibe with the sheer material showing off her black bodysuit underneath. The dress is diesgned with geometric placements that really flatter the figure, whilst the star and bow embellishment bring a sense of fun to the dress in true Temperley style. The high neck midi fit of this dress drapes the body but is pulled together by the leather and gold belt to finish it off.

It's from the fall 2018 catwalk show so won't be available for sometime, instead shop the current collection at MATCHESFASHION.COM.

The stars were out in force on Wednesday night for the BRITS 2018 Awards, held at London's O2 Arena.

Dua Lipa, 22, leads the nominations with five nods, with Ed Sheeran, 27, hot on her heels with four. Sam Smith has been left out completely, in one of the biggest award snubs in history.

There could be a spot of awkwardness on the night as former One Direction bandmates Harry Styles, Zayn Malik and Liam Payne will go head to head in the category of British Artist Video Of The Year.

The public will vote for the Best British Single category, as ever - which is usually made up of the best-selling releases from the past year.

Some BRIT Awards categories have already had their winners announced, as Jorja Smith won Critics' Choice, while Steve Mac was named the Producer of the Year.

Jason Iley, BRITs Chairman and Chairman & CEO of Sony Music UK and Ireland said: 'This year's nominations, as well as the incredible performances on our launch show tonight, are representative of an exciting, genre spanning and vibrant year in British music with a strong mix of established acts alongside new and emerging artists who are set to become the big names of the future.'
