Lara Spencer's lookalike daughter looked ready to head down the aisle in her bridal-inspired gown while she marked a very important milestone in her life - her graduation from high school.
Special photographs showed Lara's daughter Kate dressed in a gorgeous ball gown, fit for a wedding, on her big day as she graduated from high school with her friends. She was joined by a group of her close girlfriends and later on by the whole class of 2023 for the celebration for photos.
Her TV presenter mom, 53, couldn’t be prouder and she happily shared the news with her loyal following on social media. Alongside the series of photos, she wrote: "Mom and Grandmama couldn't be prouder. Big day for our girl. Congrats to Kate and the entire class of 2023."

Also, Lara's co-workers and friends were quick to share their congratulations on the post. Michael Strahan showed his support and encouragement. "Congratulations," he wrote, joining others. American weather anchor Sam Champion added: "Wow. I can’t even believe it."

"I thought she was getting married!! A little fancy for graduation but beautiful all the same," one person wrote.
