"I know I'm biased but how beautiful is my sister @LydiaMeck modelling @lucys_boutique Prom," wrote Lucy next to a photo of Lydia in a black sequined dress.
"Modelling the campaign was great fun," said Lydia at the time. "People joke we are like the Kardashians because there are five sisters! Modelling this with Lucy made it feel like we are.
"Lucy, who is signed to Select Model Agency, has been keen to get her younger sister involved in the modelling world. The small-screen beauty posted another image on Twitter of Lydia posing in the dresses, which show off Lydia's svelte figure and toned legs.
