I turned my mum into me – the transformation was jaw-dropping, people say my outfit made her look just 27
IT’S the trend that’s taken the internet by storm – daughters lending their outfits to their mums for a jaw-dropping transformation.
One of those who took part in this viral challenge on TikTok was the mother-daughter duo Thea (@theeaasx) and her mum, from Germany.
The Before and After results are so impressive, the video‘s gone viral on social media, racking up a whopping 1.5million views so far – and we’re sure you’re going to be just as stunned as the team at Fabulous is.
First, the parent, believed to be in her 40s, demonstrated what she would usually wear – a pair of dark denim bottoms paired with a loose jumper that didn’t have much shape.
Thea then gave her mum some of her wardrobe essentials, ones that were more trendy.
After changing into her daughter’s garments, the mum revealed a shocking makeover.
Throwing her best poses, the mum arrived looking like a completely different person – she was rocking a figure-hugging top with cutout detailing on the shoulder, on-trend cargo trousers, as well as a mini purse and classic white trainers.
To give her locks more volume, she had also styled her hair with loose curls and had completed the transformation with natural make-up and a nude lippy.
People on social media couldn’t believe what they were seeing – Thea’s mum had shaved years off her appearance.
Stunned, many wondered why more mums don’t walk around like that and some hopeful would-be Romeos even slid into the comments.
”Dude, I’d like to meet her,” one person confessed.
Another reckoned she went from 37 to 27, making her a decade younger.

Someone else agreed, adding: ”OMG SHE LOOKS LIKE 16 OR 20.”
”If this trend taught me anything is that we need to embrace trends as we get on left bc it just looks so youthful and fun!!” a fourth penned.
If you’re after more fashion hacks to appear younger, keep on reading, as one professional reveals it all – and looks like it’s time to ditch all black.
Fashion expert Dominique Sachse shared her top tips to looking younger without seeming like you’re trying to desperately relive your glory days.
It turns out wearing an all black outfit is one of the worst things you can wear as you age, it might seem chic and slimming in theory, but it’s doing you no favours.
The pro explained: “Black can be really harsh against skin tones that get lighter and more ashy as we age and it can accentuate the hollows of the neck and the eyes.
“Ditch the all black from head-to-toe and break up up a little bit with some skin softening neutrals.”
Beiges, creams and browns looks just as timeless, but they wont have the same ageing effect.
Of course, you can still wear black, the key is breaking up the black items with lighter ones.
Dominique showed how pairing a black skirt with a white top and beige blazer instantly made her look years younger than the head-to-toe black outfit did.
“It’s a black skirt but it’s not up against my face,” she explained.
Picking the right patterns is also important if you don’t want to end up looking like your gran.
“Hard geometric lines can look really strict and ageing as well as the darker colours,” Dominique shared.
Stick to “lighter and brighter shades” if you want to wear patterns, and make sure to stick to softer silhouettes to look more youthful.
If you really want to take things up a notch, it’s time to ditch the skinny jeans – they served us all well, but the truth is they’re making you look years older than you are.
Go for a wider leg jean, or even a cuffed style to update your look.
“Just please, not too many rips or tears so you look like you’re competing with your 20-year-old daughter,” the pro joked.
Jersey t-shirts are also incredibly ageing according to the fashionista who explained, “everyone loves it because it’s comfortable but here’s the issue, it tends to stick to lumps and bulges that are poking out.”
Instead of your basic round neck t-shirt, go for a light-weight shirt with a few buttons undone to elongate your neck, making you look younger.
“You want to get away thick and you want to get away from chunky because those things will only make you appear bigger and more dated,” Dominique explained.
