BEING mistaken for a 20-year-old bombshell is something this mum experiences a lot – despite being 46 with a 17-year-old daughter.
Cathy, from Hertford, and Jaggar Arganese, 17, are regularly mistaken for sisters rather than a mum and daughter duo, all thanks to their glam and youthful looks.

You see, the age-defying mum loves to look her best whenever she goes out, and that means remaining as stylish and youthful as possible.
Jaggar said that her mum has instilled the importance of looking great and takes inspiration from her, so it’s no wonder they look like siblings.
Cathy loves looking and feeling younger and says she feels like she’s a 46-year-old in a 20-year-old’s body.
“While I am comfortable being my age and I am still quite a traditional mum to Jagger and my two sons, I do like looking young and modern,” she said.
I like to think I am still 20. Jaggar and I love to look glam whenever we go out. We always have our hair and makeup done and we are always in nice outfits so we do get a lot of stares when we are out together.

“I like to think I am still 20. Jaggar and I love to look glam whenever we go out. We always have our hair and makeup done and we are always in nice outfits so we do get a lot of stares when we are out together.
“People have actually even compared us to the Kardashians which made us laugh. We love to look good because it makes us feel good.
“We have an amazing relationship. We are best friends and we love to spend time together.
“We especially love going shopping in London most weekends because we have the same sense of style which is great as we can share clothes.”
The mum and daughter duo have the “dream relationship” according to Cathy who loves that they spend so much time together.
Jagger said: “My mum and I are like best friends so we always go out together.
“If we are out shopping together in London people will say to us that we look more like sisters rather than mum and daughter.
“They’re shocked when they realise that she is actually my mum.
“But I love it because my mum looks amazing.

“Apart from the colour of our hair, we look really similar and we also have a really similar sense of fashion so I think that makes us look even more like a sister because we are usually wearing the same style of clothing.
“She has always taught me the importance of looking my best and we come from quite a glamorous family so it’s not really a shock that people think this when they see us together.”
Jaggar, a makeup artist, admits that she would hate to have an old fashioned and ‘granny-like’ mum who wouldn’t let her kids dress up and wear makeup.
She says that she loves that they both like to keep up their appearance and look amazing.
My mum just doesn’t seem to age and I really hope I get the genes from her too so I can look as amazing as her as I get older.

Jagger added: “I’ve always loved makeup and I think it’s because as my mums only daughter she has really put all that side of her into me so I want to look my best too.
“I think it has been passed down through the family as my nan loved to look her best too and slept in rollers every night.
“My mum just doesn’t seem to age and I really hope I get the genes from her too so I can look as amazing as her as I get older.
“My friends always mention how pretty and stylish my mum is too.
“And my brothers get annoyed at their friends because they always make comments about my mum to wind them up.”
