LEONA LEWIS'S TODDLER CARMEL IS HER SPITTING IMAGE AS THE MOTHER-DAUGHTER DUO SPORT MATCHING YELLOW TULLE PRINCESS DRESSES FOR A WEDDING
Leona Lewis's 23-month-old daughter looked the spitting image of her mother as the pair sported adorable matching yellow tulle princess dresses for a wedding.
The Bleeding Love singer, 39, welcomed her daughter in July 2022 with her husband-of-five-years Dennis Jauch.
Taking to Instagram on Tuesday, Leon shared some snaps of her and Carmel at the wedding of her music manager Nicola Carson.
Dressed to the nines for the occasion, Leona's stunning bright yellow gown came complete with a plunging neckline, full skirt and bows tied at the shoulders.
Meanwhile Carmel's sweet ensemble was a light yellow tulle dress adorned with daisies. The mother-daughter duo also sported matching hairstyles, as they both had their curly brunette locks tied up in a top knot.
Leona finished off her look with a pair of white block heeled sandals while Carmel sported some cute trainers.
The singer captioned the post: 'Ladies of the Manor. Feeling all the love on this beautiful day, congratulations to my soul sister @colacarson.'
Leona was made an Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the New Year's honour list for her services to music and charity.
She shot to fame after winning The X Factor in 2006 and launched a hugely successful music career.
Her debut studio album, Spirit, became one of the best-selling albums of the 2000s and the lead single, Bleeding Love, was the best-selling single of 2007.
Leona was the first British female solo artist to reach the top five with eight singles, beating out Olivia Newton-John's record of seven.
She has also been nominated for six BRIT Awards and three Grammys and has performed on Broadway, TV and the silver screen.
Outside her musical talents, Leona has thrown her support behind many charitable causes and activism.
She has a particular passion for animal rights, publicly speaking out against animal testing and voicing her support for animal activism, sustainability and conservation.
In December 2019, Leona and her husband Dennis, opened a vegan cafe in Pasadena called Coffee and Plants, partnering with the National Forest Association to plant a tree for every cup they sell.
They expanded to their second location in Studio City earlier this year and the cafe also works in partnership with Hopefield Animal Sanctuary, with proceeds of select items donated to the charity.
Leona has campaigned for the fight against HIV/AIDS, Save The Children's initiative to stop child hunger at Christmas, to honour the NHS and to raise awareness of children’s mental health.
She has also worked alongside The Prince’s Trust, Teenage Cancer Trust, WWF and American Red Cross as well as performing live during the pandemic to raise funds for COVID-19 initiatives.
Leona and Dennis tied the knot in 2019 in an idyllic Tuscan vineyard, eight years after they first met when he worked as her backing dancer.
The loved-up duo first began dating in 2010 when Dennis worked as a backing dancer on her tour, and Dennis popped the question in August 2018.
Taking to Instagram at the time, Leona flashed an eye-catching diamond ring to announce the good news during their romantic holiday to San Juan, Puerto Rico.
She wrote: 'My heart is singing the happiest song it's ever sung! 'I'm bursting with joy and overcome with emotion that I get to embark on this new adventure with my best friend, my partner in crime, my ride or die! @dennisjauch I can't wait to be your wife. eeeek wife! What?!
'Argh! Hahahahaha I still can't believe it [bride emoji] I dreamed you up and you came true.
'The most caring, kindhearted and inspiring person I've had the privilege to know. now lets go have a big ol' partyyyyyyyy'.
The pair welcomed their daughter Carmel Allegra in July 2022.
