Double-take for Hollywood as Michelle suns on exotic hol

BRASSIC star Michelle Keegan looked the picture of elegance while sunning herself in Mexico to celebrate the new year.

The former Coronation Street actress from Stockport has wowed fans with snaps from her sunshine break with her hubby Mark Wright.

And one snap caused her Instagram followers to do a double take as she posed on a sun lounger in a bronze strapless top with a blue cocktail in her hand to match the cover of her book.

It was the widebrimme­d hat that caught the eyes of fans because the classic look reminded them of a certain Hollywood icon.

Julia Roberts wore a similar hat in the 1990 film Pretty Woman.

She paired the hat, as Vivian Ward, with a chocolate brown dress to a polo match with Richard Gere’s Edward Lewis.

elizj_ commented on the snap: “This picture reminds me of Vivian ‘Pretty Woman.’”

And christineb­ushellb5 said: “U look like Julia Roberts here.”

Other followers said Michelle, who shot to fame on Corrie as Tina McIntyre and is now starring as Erin Croft in the Sky comedy drama Brassic, reminded them of another screen idol.

bethanyali­ce.francis said: “This has really reminded me of an Audrey Hepburn shot.”

And kpryde__wrote: “Wow seriously Audrey Hepburn vibes here!! Beautiful.”

Michelle jokingly said she had broken her new year’s resolution as she captioned the photo.

She penned: “Dear New Years Resolution, Well it was fun while it lasted. Sincerely January 4th.”
