She’s a successful actress who has starred in dozens of hit films.

And Catherine Zeta-Jones, 50, shocked fans on Saturday as she shared a snap of her lookalike daughter Carys Douglas to Instagram.

Carys, whose father is actor Michael Douglas, wowed in her light gown as she posed up a storm in the family’s garden.

She let her long brown locks, just like her mother’s, cascade over her shoulders and appeared to be only wearing the lightest touch of makeup. 

Dozens of fans were amazed by the snap, with one person writing: ‘I thought it was you’. Another agreed, penning: ‘Spitting image and just as beautiful’.

A slew of people also said that the image was ‘stunning’, with photographer John Russo commenting: ‘Gorgeous like her momma’.

It comes after Catherine revealed she was set to rival fellow Hollywood star Gwyneth Paltrow by launching her own Goop-inspired lifestyle brand.

Earlier this month she launched her Casa Zeta-Jones range featuring vegan shoes, coffee, love spoons and make-up. 

Friends say she is hoping her new project will boost her profile and give her something to ‘focus on’ as her children get older.

Speaking about her venture, she said: ‘Everything I have designed has truly been a passion project. I wanted to take this passion a step further and create a brand that’s beautiful and luxurious, while still being attainable.’ 

Her main priority, it is understood, is her range of flat pumps which will sell for a modest £50 a pair. Described as being ‘made from the finest vegan leather’, she hopes that they will be attractive to ‘woke’ yet fashion conscious women.

As well as coffee and make-up, Catherine, who shot to fame in 1991 when she played Mariette Larkin in TV’s The Darling Buds Of May, has a homewear collection that includes some traditional £52 Welsh love spoons usually given as gifts for a wedding, anniversary or as a thank-you gift.

Catherine, who married Hollywood actor Michael Douglas in 2000, hasn’t starred in a hit movie since Red 2 in 2013. 

Later this year Catherine and Michael will celebrate their 20 year anniversary. While appearing on Good Morning Britain in July she joked: ‘They said it would never last! 

‘I have a great blueprint of marriage both with my own parents and Michael’s father and stepmother and what a good marriage means and how precious that is and how you work at it and sustain it and appreciate it. So yeah, 20 years.’

Michael and Catherine have two teenage children – Carys, 17, and their 19-year-old son Dylan.
