Dead to Me star Christina Applegate and her daughter left Emmys viewers all saying the same thing.
The 75th Primetime Emmy Awards took place on Monday (January 15) at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles and Applegate brought her 12-year-old daughter Sadie Grace LeNoble along with her.
Applegate was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for her role playing Jen Harding in 2019 Netflix drama Dead to Me.

The actor has previously spoken out about the series likely being her last major role as a result of her ongoing journey with multiple sclerosis (MS).
Applegate revealed she'd been diagnosed with the condition in 2021 while she was still working on Dead to Me.
In an interview with Variety in 2022, she said she was still 'trying to figure out the disease' but quickly realized there was 'no way' she could do the same level of work she had to do for the Netflix drama.
She added: "I mean, it was so hard. Right now, I’m enjoying being a mother."

And the Emmy's allowed Applegate to celebrate her career as well as being a mother.
She not only attended the awards ceremony with Sadie, but the pair wore complimenting outfits too.
They were dressed in velvet ensembles, with their hair matching - styled straight and down - with matching Doc Martens on their feet too.

And pictures of the pair have been circulated online, with fans of the actor flooding to social media to point out just how similar they look.
One X - formerly known as Twitter - user wrote: "They do look very much alike."
A Facebook user added: "Look like sisters."
"Beautiful like her mom," another said.

As well as attending the ceremony with her daughter and for her nomination, Applegate also took to the stage to present an award.
The actor took to the podium to present the award for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy and received a standing ovation.
She jokingly responded: "Thank you so much! Oh my God! You’re totally shaming me [and my] disability by standing up."

Cue more applause from the audience, the actor noting they 'don't have to applaud every time [she does] something'.
Reflecting on moments of her career, Applegate said: "Ok, let’s go. Some of you may know me as Kelly Bundy from Married… With Children or Samantha from Samantha Who? or Jen Harding from Dead to Me. Very few of you probably know me from that debut - I’m going to cry, more than I’ve been crying - Baby Burt Grizzell on Days of Our Lives. It was my breakout role."
She noted it had been 'an honour to play funny, flawed, complex characters like the women nominated for supporting actress in a comedy series' and then presented The Bear's Ayo Edebiri with the award.
