She is well known for her eclectic sense of style. 

And Helena Bonham Carter, 50, showed a similar fashion sense to her mother Elena Propper de Callejon as the pair stepped out in New York together on Friday. 

Both women sported fluffy scarves, with Helena opting for a unusually conservative patchwork style brown coat, while her mother wore a button down blue number.

And Mother and daughter have been enjoying the city's sights, soaking up the scenery in another stroll together earlier this week.

Elena - a French-Spanish psychotherapist - has been a regular red carpet fixture over Helena's 30-year career and remains very close to her daughter. 

During an acceptance speech for the Best Supporting Actress BAFTA in 2011, Helena dedicated The King’s Speech accolade - for which she played the Queen Mother - to her own mother.

She gushed: ‘This is for all the best supporting wives — the Queen Mother herself, and my mum.

'There is no doubt that if my father were alive, he would have given it to her. She was the best supporting wife you could ever have wished for.’

Helena's father, Raymond Bonham Carter, was a merchant banker who represented the Bank of England on the International Monetary Fund but sadly passed away from stroke in 1979. 

Helena has two children with former partner director Tim Burton.
