SUPERMODEL mum Kate Moss and daughter Lila take to the catwalk together — and time stands still.

Lila, 18, who has type one diabetes, proudly wore an Omnipod insulin pump on her thigh as she showed off a high-cut swimsuit.

She and Kate, 47, both looked incredible and made a mockery of their 29-year age difference.

One onlooker at Milan fashion week said: “Kate is still at the top, but Lila is catching up fast.”

Last week in London, Kate stayed on the sidelines as she watched Lila open the Richard Quinn show.

But in Italy they were side by side for the “Fendace” event — a historical first-time collaboration between fashion houses Fendi and Versace.

Last year, Lila opened up for the first time about her diabetes diagnosis, saying: “I think not many people know that I have diabetes.

“It’s not visible from the outside, so no one would really know just by looking at you.”

She said she wanted to help others living with the condition, adding: “I’d definitely like to try and help as much as I can.

“There’s loads of things I’d like to try and help with.” 

Lila posted a series of pictures from the Milan gig on Instagram, with her fans praising her ­decision to not cover up her Omnipod — which delivers insulin to the body without the need for multiple daily injections or tubes..

One follower, Giulia Mastio, commented: “Thank you for not hiding your diabetes. You are ­gorgeous.”

Another, Debi Lashar, wrote: “Love your pod and the example you lead!”

Just like her mum, Lila started young in the modelling world. 

She landed her first job aged 14 to be the face of The Braid Bar.

Since then, her career has gone from strength to strength. Lila was named as the face of Marc Jacobs Beauty in 2018 at the age of 16.

She made her runway debut at Paris Fashion Week last October, opening for Miu Miu’s Spring/Summer 2021 show.
