Nikki Webster's young daughter has proved that good genes - and talent - run in the family. 

Skylah McMah, 12, looked just like her mum during a family outing at the premiere of SIX the Musical at Theatre Royal Sydney on Wednesday night. 

Webster, 39, was also accompanied by her son, Malachi McMah, eight, who like Skylah, she shares with her husband of 14 years, Matthew McMah. 

Skylah looked glamorous as she posed alongside her doppelgänger mother while wearing a glitzy, sequined frock. 

Nikki also dressed up in a glistening dress, choosing a mermaid-inspired maxi dress with opalescent sequins throughout.

Skylah has been growing up fast and is already following in her child star mum's footsteps.

Last year, she made her theatre debut in the Australian production of the musical Annie.

Nikki told Woman's Day she was 'so proud' of her daughter, who she said 'just worked so hard' for the role.  

'She's been so driven and determined,' the singer said at the time. 

'All I wanted for her was to have the experience of going through auditions, so the fact that she got a role is just amazing.'

Skylah was cast as orphan Kate, starring alongside theatre veteran Anthony Warlow and The Wiggles star Greg Page.

The young singer and actress explained to Woman's Day she was 'really excited' when she learned that she'd landed the coveted part.
