British actress Helena Bonham Carter made a rare public appearance with her lookalike daughter on Wednesday June 11.
Helena was joined by 17-year-old Nell Burton who wore a stunning salmon pink dress with scalloped sleeves and floral applique detailing across the waist and shoulders. With her dark black hair in loose waves and wispy bangs, Nell was the spitting image of her mom and dad, director Tim Burton.

The mother and daughter duo attended the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition Preview Party 2025 at Burlington House, along with Doctor Who's Jenna Coleman, and Jerry Hall.

The London Library houses around one million volumes available to borrow, and well-known members have included Charles Dickens, Charles Darwin, Bram Stoker, Virginia Woolf, E.M. Forster, Daphne du Maurier, T.S. Eliot, and Ian Fleming.

The former couple first started dating in 2001 and he famously cast her in a number of his movies, including Alice in Wonderland, Sweeney Todd, The Corpse Bride and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

"And the kids are fine, they get to have a dual life," she added.
"At first it's a horrible thing to get used to, not having your children around [when you share custody]. The cruelty of divorce is extraordinary. But then you get to a point where you're like, 'Oh, I get this week off!' Some parts are very much to be recommended."
The star has since gone on to find love with Rye Dag Holmboe, a 36-year-old psychoanalyst whom she met at a wedding for mutual friends.
