Kelly Ripa fans were shocked to see the striking resemblance between Ripa and her mother in side-by-side throwback photos that were posted to Instagram on Tuesday.
Ripa captioned the photo, "Mom 1980. Me 2005," alongside a split image of herself and her mother, Esther.
Esther can be seen smiling with a slicked-back ponytail and dark blazer alongside a photo of Ripa in a similar pose with her hair slicked back, wearing a sequin-covered gown.
It's hard not to see the resemblance between the pair in the photos.
Celebrity friends of Ripa took to the comments section to express their shock over the eerily similar photos. Ripa's husband, Mark Consuelos, commented on the post, "Love this so much."
Anderson Cooper also made an appearance in the comments section, writing simply, "Wow!"
The post comes just one day after a series of other throwback photos made their way to Ripa's Instagram grid in honor of International Women's Day. Ripa shared photos with her daughter, Lola, along with other important women in her life.
"To my mothers, daughters, sisters and mentors. You're all phenomenal women. Happy #internationalwomensday," Ripa captioned the post. Ripa's mother Esther also made an appearance in this post.
Just last week, Ripa shared on Instagram that she was able to spend some quality time with her parents. "I got to spend Saturday with my folks in their natural habitat," Ripa wrote. "Mom proved elusive to capture as always. Dad's viewers choice award also took no chances."
In the photos, Ripa's father can be seen smiling for the camera while her mother appears to try to dodge the spotlight.
