The former Bardot star copied the 51-year-old pop princess by posing for a photo with a quokka, referencing a pivotal scene in the multi-million dollar campaign.

Sophie, who is currently in her hometown of Perth, lounged on a grassy knoll as she cosied up to a quokka, an Australian marsupial. 

She revealed her cleavage in a skimpy white top and her blonde locks were secured into an effortless ponytail.

Sophie closed her eyes as she bonded with the quokka, drawing attention to a glamorous makeup palette including a false set of lashes and a subtle smoky eye.

Referencing Kylie’s Tourism Australia ad where she spots a quokka, Sophie wrote in the caption: ‘The quokka is telling me he’s more of a Kylie Minogue fan.’

It’s also a nod to the Spinning Around singer who took to her Instagram on Christmas Day to share a cute selfie with a quokka.

Sophie later took to her Instagram Story to share two side-by-side images of herself and Kylie outside of the same yellow helicopter.

Tagging an aviation company, the Love Island Australia host wrote ‘twinning’ in the caption alongside a laughing face emoji.

‘I’ve had the opportunity to see parts of the country I haven’t seen before, as well as to go home and revisit places that I know are beautiful.’
