Allison Holker shared an emo post on Instagram yesterday, and we don’t blame her. Because the dancer’s firstborn is growing up so fast! And the world keeps finding ways to remind her of that bittersweet fact.
Holker’s 15-year-old daughter Weslie went to homecoming (or, as Holker said in her caption, “HOMECOMING”) this weekend, and the photos are absolutely stunning. The teen wore a timeless, black lace, tea-length dress with spaghetti straps and black strappy heels to match. Her date wore an all-black ensemble and had a white corsage he presented to Weslie. They both have such sweet and subtle smiles on their faces, and it really is just a perfect coming-of-age carousel of photos.
“Crying and happy all at the same time … I’m so proud of you beautiful @weslierboss enjoy your night!!” the professional dancer wrote in her caption. “You my Angel inspire the world!! I love you forever and always!!”
What got us the most about these photos is that Weslie is looking more and more like her mom every. damn. day. They both have such big and soulful eyes, high and round cheekbones, wide (if sometimes subtle) smiles, and this certain je ne sais quoi. Maybe it’s the confidence? Maybe it’s the glow?
“She is your twin!” one commenter said.
“@weslierboss 🤍 You are stunnnnninggggg in these photos. And to you @allisonholker, she’s your twinnnnnn! Wonderful job, Queen! 💜💫”
“She’s so beautiful. Just like her momma.”
Followers also had to point out how perfect Weslie and her date’s hair looked because holy curls! “THE HAIR ON BOTH OF THEM 😍” “Excellent hair in this duo.”
Holker shares Weslie — as well as kids Maddox, 7 and Zaia, 3 — with her late husband Stephen “tWitch” Boss who died by suicide in Dec. 2022.
“No one had any inkling that he was low. He didn’t want people to know,” Holker told People in May 2023, her first interview after he passed. “He just wanted to be everyone’s Superman and protector … I’m trying to teach [my kids] — and myself — that if you’re angry or sad, it doesn’t mean you’re a bad person. We’re coping together, and that requires trust and being really vulnerable.”
She later said in an interview with Todaythat she’s had the tragic job of having to explain to her kids again and again that no, their dad is not coming back.
“To us, Daddy’s in the stars,” she said. “So, we can go outside and talk to him whenever we want.”
Hopefully Weslie was able to spend a moment under the stars after her homecoming dance. We’re sure tWitch would have been just as emo and proud as Holker was.
