It’s been a truth long acknowledged that men are often attracted to women who boast the same traits as their mother.
And this seems to be the case with Cruz Beckham, who has gone to the extreme in the form of his relationship with girlfriend Jackie Apostel who not just looks like the double of his mother Victoria Beckham, but has also taken to dressing just like her.
In proof that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Jackie has succeeded in demonstrating her admiration for Victoria in her sartorial choices.
In recent months she has been snapped sported a string of outfits that bear striking resemblance to ones Victoria has worn in the past, including takes on her iconic little black dresses, sportswear and a stunning white satin gown.
And in the wake of growing tensions between Victoria and David, their son Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz, it shows the designer has Jackie’s full support.
Also, in a sign that the feeling is mutual, Victoria has responded to the compliment by wearing a similar black lace outfit to the one her son’s girlfriend had already sported.
Jackie’s most recent display of twinning came on Wednesday when took inspiration from one of Victoria’s looks when she stepped out with Cruz, dressed in a black jacket with matching leggings and baseball cap.

Attending Victoria’s Paris Fashion Show last year, Jackie wowed in a stunning white silk backless dress in another look similar to Victoria.
Jackie sat front-row at Beckham’s Paris Fashion Week show, alongside boyfriend Cruz, and his siblings Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper.
David and Victoria famously used to wear matching outfits back in the late 90s and early 2000s.
And while the Beckham family has been thrown into turmoil in recent weeks due to an ongoing feud with Brooklyn, Jackie and Victoria’s mirroring looks show their bond is stronger than ever.
Victoria has even recentlly begun to return the favour, as back in November, she posed in a sheer black lace dress from her own range, a month after Jackie had shared an Instagram snap in the piece.
David and Victoria are understood to be devastated following a fall-out with their eldest, who lives in the United States with his wife and her wealthy family.
Brooklyn was back in London this week to shoot a campaign for the fashion company Moncler but opted to stay in a hotel rather than in the Beckham’s family home in Holland Park which was close by.
He also didn’t meet his father David who was just half a mile away attending the Chelsea Flower Show.
David is allegedly ‘desperate to make amends with his son as he fears history is repeating itself’ following his bitter fall out with his father Ted in 2005.
The Mail’s Katie Hind revealed that Brooklyn has ditched his old pals in the UK and has followed Nicola’s lead when it comes to mixing in new LA circles.
It comes following a slew of lavish celebrations to honour David’s 50th birthday, all of which were not attended by his son Brooklyn and his wife.
David hosted an early birthday party in Miami in April, as well as a fishing trip with his sons in Scotland, an intimate dinner at his Cotswolds mansion, a trip to France for a vineyard tour and finally a big bash in London to round off the week.
The couple’s absence at the events is said to have cemented the divide between them, with The Mail revealing that Romeo’s girlfriend Kim Turnbull has been made the ‘scapegoat’ in the feud.
A Mail Plus report also revealed Victoria’s heartbroken verdict on the row, claiming that she feels ‘betrayed’ by Brooklyn and thinks Nicola is a viper. Read the full story here.
A source said: ‘Victoria is fairly open among her close friends about what a viper Nicola is and how she feels betrayed by Brooklyn, so the mask has fully dropped.’
The Beckhams have been hit by fears they won’t be able to heal their rift with Brooklyn as Victoria has been having ‘sleepless nights’ over the feud.
The fashion designer and her husband David are said to have been left heartbroken at the distance that has grown between them and their eldest son.
Victoria’s social media was filled with photographs from various parties held to celebrate David’s 50th birthday this month, including a bash at their Cotswolds home.
The fun-filled celebrations culminated with a massive party held at London’s esteemed Michelin-star restaurant Core on Saturday night.
It was claimed Brooklyn and Nicola pulled out of attending the Met Gala with the intention of attending David’s birthday party, but were no shows at both events.
Brooklyn was reportedly planning to attend, but felt too uncomfortable to come after he felt Nicola was being blamed for the rift with his family.
Claims that Brooklyn and Nicola were rebuffed when they asked David and Victoria to celebrate David’s birthday privately were also said to be untrue.
Sources close to Nicola told TMZ they wanted ‘to get together privately’ to avoid Romeo’s girlfriend Kim as the couple are said to ‘have a problem’ with her.
Following the birthday party snub, it was revealed Brooklyn also declined an invitation by his father to join him and his brothers on a ‘boys’ fishing trip to celebrate his 50th.
The Mail revealed David invited Brooklyn on a short break six months ago when he began planning, yet his son failed to go despite arriving in the UK the day he went with Romeo and Cruz.
Sources have suggested that Brooklyn’s decision was influenced by his wife.
‘Brooklyn was asked to join them ages ago,’ one claimed.
‘Then he came to London in time but he didn’t go. Once again David made the best of things and had a great time with Cruz and Romeo.’
David still offered an olive branch to his son as he shared snaps from the trip, as he captioned one of his posts: ‘You were missed @brooklynbeckham.’
The Mail revealed Romeo’s girlfriend Kim is being made the ‘scapegoat’ in the feud between Brooklyn and David – with Nicola ‘at the centre’ of the rift.

Kim and Brooklyn were undeniably close for a brief period – as photographs of them together in 2016 show – but suggestions that they were ever an item are wide of the mark, according to well-informed sources who spoke to The Mail.
In fact, younger brother Cruz, personally shut down the gossip recently when he responded to an Instagram post showing a picture of Romeo and Kim together.
In a now-deleted message, one user commented: ‘It’s appropriate to date your brother’s ex too? Cool.’
Cruz replied: ‘Brooklyn and Kim never dated.’
One friend told the Mail’s Katie Hind: ‘This is nothing to do with Kim and is all about Nicola.
‘All David and Victoria want is their son back – and they will be there to welcome him any time.’
Family friends claim Brooklyn’s wife has a pattern of ‘starting an argument’ before family events and then preventing her husband from attending.
Some believe that friends of Nicola have been behind the briefings about Kim being the cause of Brooklyn’s rift with his family, some of which went so far to claim that he had told them he refused to come to any event at which Kim was present.
A source close to the family told MailOnline: ‘Brooklyn was close to Kim because she was dating Rocco and they all hung out in a tightknit friendship group. But that was years ago. Brooklyn and Kim were close, but there was never any romance.
‘It seems Nicola doesn’t like Brooklyn spending any time with the Beckhams full stop and is using his previous closeness to Kim and her getting in with the family as a reason to not be around them.
‘She denies it, but Nicola has been controlling him since the wedding. The family – including the brothers – have had enough of it.
‘This is the narrative that’s been put out to other news outlets, that Romeo is dating his brother’s ex-girlfriend – and that’s really weird, so that’s why they wouldn’t want to be around the family when she is there.
‘But none of this is true. And it’s really upset Romeo and his parents because Kim is seemingly being used by Nicola as a reason to start the rift. Romeo is furious at the suggestion that he would bring an ex-girlfriend of Brooklyn into the family when there never was any romance.’
