Chrissy Teigen Posts Cute Throwback Pics, Draws Comparisons to Zendaya ArticlePure

Chrissy Teigen broke out the childhood albums — and provided a glimpse for her Instagram followers!

The 38-year-old Cravings cookbook author shared a series of adorable photos from her childhood on her Instagram on Monday, July 22. In the nine images, Teigen sported a variety of trendy hairstyles at the time. 

In the various photos of Teigen, followers couldn’t help but draw comparisons between her as a young child and her eldest daughter, Luna Simone, 8 — even her husband, John Legend, commented about the lookalike mother and daughter.

“Luuuuuuu,” he wrote.

The couple share four children: Luna, son Miles Theodore, 6, daughter Esti Maxine, 18 months, and son Wren Alexander, 13 months.

Meanwhile, several users chimed in. “Looking like Luna the prequel ??,” wrote one user. Another added, “Luna is your little twin! So cute!”

“Luna stole your whole face!” commented another.

“Wow, 3rd slide is Luna all the way,” wrote one user, in reference to a photo Teigen subtly grinning in a maroon sweatshirt and a perm.

Another referenced the sixth photo of Teigen — where she’s photographed in a baby pink long-sleeve dress holding a bright red heart box — and commented: “The picture of you standing holding the red heart is literally Luna!!!”

But the comparisons didn’t stop there. One user commented that the model looks like Emmy winner Zendaya: “I thought this was Zendaya.”

“At first glance I thought you were Zendaya,” wrote a different user.

A third comparison also appeared in the comment section: Wednesday star Jenna Ortega was mentioned too! Mindy Kaling commented: “I thought this was Jenna Ortega.”

Teigen also joked in her own comment section and wrote: “A perm with bangs is criminal.” But she sweetly captioned the post itself with a simple “memory lane! ?.”

Throughout the various photos, Teigen is seen rocking bangs with various hairstyles, including the aforementioned perm, as well as a sleek straight look that’s seen in the first two photos.

Other photos included a young Teigen casually smiling for the camera, with one close-up shot of her hair in a wispy ponytail, which differed from the following photo of her hair blown straight for what seemed to be a school portrait.
