Mum who mocked Zara model pictures 'passes the crown' to her hilarious little girl as she poses with boots on her head

A mum who previously went viral after mocking Zara model pictures has now 'passed the crown' to her hilarious little girl. GP receptionist Carla Hughes, from Blackley, previously made headlines for sharing the comical snaps of her wearing kitchen foil on her head and posing with multi-coloured balloons beside the retailer's pictures she had imitated.

But after her little girl Elsie, aged six, got hold of her phone and started filming herself with a boot on her head, it instantly reinspired Carla to remake the mock pictures. In the latest shots, Elsie is seen posing with a boot on her head and gripping a coat around her face.

It was earlier this year, when shopping in Zara for her two children, that Carla, 31, was left perplexed by the awkward poses the models did when showing off the items of clothing, prompting her to reenact some of the shots.

The mum-of-two says she has now 'passed the crown' to little Elsie, who she says ran around the house and raided the wardrobes to find items similar to those seen on the Zara website to create the latest stream of hilarious pictures.

Carla said: "When I did the pictures, I wanted to remake the one with the boot, but I didn't have one like it. Then last night, I went on TikTok and saw that Elsie had saved a draft wearing a boot on her head. I thought, oh my god, it's the same as that picture.

"So I showed her, and she said 'mummy, can I do them?' We looked on Instagram to find a few pictures and then she just legged it around the house grabbing clothes from here, there and everywhere.

"I take videos of the kids and whenever I post them, everyone loves it and comment on how sassy she is. So, I tell her what people have commented. I told her I was going to put the Zara pics up on Facebook, and she said she could be famous."

Carla shared the latest lookalike pictures to her Facebook page beside the Zara versions, showing six-year-old Elsie posing straight-faced with a boot on her head, pulling a brown coat over her head and wrapping a puffer jacket around her face.

Speaking to the Manchester Evening News , Elsie said: "I love doing the Zara pictures. I took my coat off and showed everyone at school and where I put it on my head and everybody in the class laughed. I am going to be famous soon."

Previously, mum Carla saw her wear foil from her kitchen drawer to her head, with another showing her hunched over in a brown trench coat. In her latest stream of pictures, she is stood with various balloons stuck to her sides and another with her arms going through her coat backwards.
