Imitation is the best form of flattery and these women knocked it out of the park by recreating their moms’ looks for this year’s Mother’s Day. If you ever thought that a lot of daughters look just like their mothers, imagine them dressing up in the same clothes, too—the similarities are uncanny.

Most of the countries in the world celebrated Mother’s Day this Sunday, so we here at Bored Panda have found the best pics of daughters recreating their mothers’ style for this occasion. Scroll down, upvote your faves, and let us know in the comments if you’ve ever dressed up like your parents, dear Pandas. And when you’re done enjoying this list, take a look at our article about teens who wore their moms’ vintage prom dresses decades later.

When you mention Mother’s Day to someone, things can get a bit confusing. While the odds are that any person you talk to celebrates it on the second Sunday of May, this isn’t always the case. For example, Portugal, Spain, Lithuania, Hungary, and Romania celebrate the day on the very first Sunday of May, instead.

However, Norway’s the country that celebrates how awesome moms are the earliest: Mother’s Day happens on the second Sunday of February which was February 9 in 2020. Meanwhile, in Georgia, Mother’s Day happens on March 3.

There are some countries like Russia, Afghanistan, and Vietnam who even combine International Women’s Day (March 8) with Mother’s Day into one mega-occasion.

The UK picked the fourth Sunday in Lent, known as Mothering Sunday, for theirs while a lot of countries in the Middle East like Iraq and Syria have chosen the March 21st, the Spring Equinox, to honor moms.

Even though we’re used to Mother’s Day happening around springtime, some nations don’t do this. For instance, Mongolia celebrates moms on the first day of Summer—June 1, aka Children’s Day.

Argentina’s Mother’s Day, Día de la Madre, happens on the third Sunday of October; in North Korea, it’s celebrated on November 16; and Indonesia is the last in line, honoring moms near the end of each year, on December 22.
