Lleyton and Bec Hewitt's daughter Mia looks every inch the rocker in a leopard print faux fur coat as she arrives for a gig in Sydney

Mia Hewitt looked every inch the rocker on Friday when she stepped out for a gig in Sydney.
Mia, the daughter of Tennis champ Lleyton Hewitt and former Home and Away star Bec, is one half of the musical duo Father's Favourite.
And she certainly looked the part when she was seen hopping out of an Uber on her way to the gig.
Mia rugged up against the inclement Sydney weather in a faux leopard print fur coat.
The wintry garment was all Mia had for warmth, however, with the burgeoning rocker wearing a thin white silk blouse underneath the coat.

The blouse featured lace embellishments around the neckline and hem.
She also put on quite the leggy display in a pair of light brown hotpants that finished at the top of her thigh.
Mia finished her rocker look with a pair of knee-high brown leather boots, while accessorising with a vintage-looking brown leather bag that she had slung over her shoulder.
She wore her mousy brown locks down for the occasion, letting her hair fall freely down her back.
Arriving at the venue with a bandmate, Mia could be seen grabbing a large black guitar case from the trunk of her Uber.
She looked laser focused on the task ahead, sporting a stoic expression as she made her way into the venue.
Mia's band performed their first gig back in August last year, and her former Home and Away star mum Bec is reportedly keen to steer her in the right musical direction.
While she is best known for playing Home and Away fan favourite Hailey Smith Lawson from 1998 to 2005, the actress also had a brief pop career.

On the back of her television fame, Bec released an eponymous solo album in 2002, and her debut single All Seats Taken hit number 10 on the ARIA chart.
Her album, however, was met with mixed reviews and her music career effectively came to an end in 2004 when she parted ways with label Warner Music.
A source told New Idea that Bec is keen to ensure that her daughter avoids the pitfalls that can befall new and inexperienced artists.
'Bec knows how to deal with bad people, dodgy managers, and doesn't want Mia making some of the mistakes she made early in her career, like being too optimistic about certain jobs,' they said.
The insider added that while music is Mia's current consuming passion, she hasn't ruled out a career in front of the camera, like her actress mum.
'Mia is very savvy. She knows you can't just be good at one thing and that entering the music industry will ultimately see her having to create social media content and putting herself forward,' they said.
'Ultimately, that can lead to more work like modelling, acting and even presenting.
'Bec just wants Mia to be happy and working on a career that is going to sustain her.'
It appears that the rockstar lifestyle is also rubbing off on Mia, with the young singer recently spotted smoking cigarette s while hanging out with friends in Sydney's Rose Bay.
Mia's parents, tennis champion Lleyton and singer Bec, met on the tennis court for a charity game at the Starlight Cup back in 1999.
The couple didn't reconnect until a few years later and finally met up in person in 2005, before getting engaged after a whirlwind romance that lasted six weeks.
As well as singer Mia, they also share another daughter Ava, 12, and son Cruz, 15.
It was recently claimed that Bec could be planning a return back in front of the cameras years after leaving her role as Hayley Smith Lawson on Home and Away in 2005.

Strictly star shares heartbreaking tribute to family member as she announces their death

STRICTLY Come Dancing star Dianne Buswell has announced the sad news that her beloved grandfather has died. The ballroom star, 36, who won the last series of the BBC competition with comedian Chris McCausland, shared the devastating news today. 4 4 Dianne took to her Instagram with recent clips of her reuniting with her granddad following her successful stint on the show. In one heartwarming moment, Dianne surprised her grandad with a special visit in Australia. The 99-year-old was chuffed to see his granddaughter and called her a "champion" after her Glitterball win, as they held hands and swung them side-to-side. Sharing her heartbreak, Dianne wrote: "Rest in peace pop, you were 99 years young. Thank you for all the stories and I just know you will be up there dancing with Nan already." Dianne's fellow Strictly pals were quick to share messages of support. Nancy Xu wrote: " Sending you all the love," with a string of purple heart emojis. Pro dancer Michelle Tsiak posted: "I'm so sorry for your loss Di. Sending you and your family all my love." Vito Coppola shared a red heart and prayer emoji in the comment section. The sad loss comes just a weeks after Dianne's grandmother died. In March she shared a montage of clips with her late nan and wrote: "Rest in peace nan. Love you very much. I'm so grateful I was home to say goodbye to such a special lady in my life. Strictly Come Dancing's Dianne reveals show's two new pro dancers have been signed up after Gio and Graziano's sackings "Now go be with pop he has been patiently waiting for you." Dianne has been open about her family and their health battles - including her dad's battle with cancer. In April 2024, she shared the happy news that her father Mark has finished chemotherapy in Australia after 12 rounds of treatment. She wrote at the time: "To my daddy you did it 6 months later and 12 rounds done. 'I am so so PROUD of you it's been a tough road but you have always done it with a smile and a thumbs up. I know you were scared and I know it was not easy but you have done it.' She continued: 'I wish so much I could be there right now and just cuddle you,' she penned. 'You're my hero and you have made me realise we all have so much more strength then we think. 'And to my beautiful mum who has not left your side and been the best support system ever thank you. Us kids are so lucky to have you both we love you so much. 'Now we need to book that trip in back to UK for the both of you.' Dianne first appeared on Dancing with the Stars in Australia in 2015. She then joined Strictly Come Dancing in the UK in 2017.

Influencer hits back at cruel troll who shames her postpartum body just seven weeks after giving birth

Christie Swadling lashed out at a cruel troll online on Saturday after they attempted to body shame her following the birth of her first child. The influencer, 28, welcomed a son named Rocco with her fiancé Joel Price in May, and has since been very open about her postpartum body on Instagram. But one hater left a vile comment beneath one of her recent photos, telling the new mum to 'get a bit of respect' and not wear revealing clothing post-birth. Christie took a screenshot of the nasty message and shared it to her Stories alongside the image the troll was criticising. The picture saw Christie posing with her back to the camera while wearing a form-fitting hot pink dress. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'Everything is hanging out! Get a bit of respect, honey,' said the critic. Christie quickly hit back at them, writing: 'God forbid a woman's body changes after giving birth (7 weeks postpartum, might I add).' It comes after Christie shared a candid look at her postpartum figure, two days after giving birth to a healthy baby boy in May. She shared a gallery of maternity content to social media at the time, confirming she had given birth to her first child. A few days later, she filmed herself wearing a pair of nude underwear and a slip dress, which she held up over her belly as she examined it in her bathroom mirror. 'Women are so incredible! Entering motherhood with nothing but love for my body and what it can do, no rush to bounce back or change,' she captioned the post. 'Also humbling when I get home and Rocco's older brother asks why I still look pregnant.' In a second photo of baby Rocco wrapped in his designer swaddle blanket, Christie shared the quote a second time. But one hater left a vile comment beneath one of her recent photos, telling the new mum to 'get a bit of respect' and not wear revealing clothing post-birth 'Kaden this afternoon: "How come you still look kinda pregnant?" Love kids x,' she captioned the photo of her newborn. In further baby updates, posted to her 122,000 Instagram followers, Christie wrote: 'My world is now complete and I'm so in love. 'Being a new mum can be so challenging and I'm really entering this with open arms and zero judgement towards myself, as him and I are both learning each other. 'But I'm so in love and truly this is the best achievement in the entire world.' The fitness influencer said her first afternoon at home with Rocco was full of 'bonding time' with his brother and visiting family members, as well as 'a well-deserved glass of wine and takeaway food'.
