Mariah and her mini-me strike a pose...

CHILDREN must learn to strike a pose early if their parents are showbusiness superstars.

Seven-year-old Monroe was enlisted to star in a photograph for the seven million social media followers of her mother, American pop singer Mariah Carey, 48.

‘Pose like mommy,’ Mariah wrote next to the picture of the pair on a yacht in an undisclosed location. Standing side-by-side, they shared beaming smiles and both bent one leg at the knee.

Monroe’s father is Mariah’s second ex-husband, the U.S. comedian Nick Cannon, but they are on holiday with the singer’s toyboy lover, Bryan Tanaka. Mariah broke off her engagement to Australian billionaire James Packer in 2016.
