ASIA GETS IT FROM MOMMY

While it is no doubt that the young lady does have some fashion streaks, it is safe to say that she gleaned some of her ideas from mommy. Aisa proved this back in May when she borrowed a timeless piece from her mother.

Rochon excitedly took to her Instagram page, where she flaunted her daughter's gorgeous looks. Asia stepped out for prom, rocking a red evening dress from her mom's classic collection.

Lela also posted a picture collage showing when she had rocked the strapless red dress and how Asia rocked it for prom. The youngster looked like mom did when she rocked the dress in the '90s.

While the couple might be presently celebrating over a decade in union, it is noteworthy that it has not always been rosy. Rochon and Antione were once in the news when the director was caught getting cozy with another woman.
