Mia Hewitt had a full bohemian look as she took to the stage at Sydney’s Inner West on Saturday.
The 18-year-old daughter of Bec and Lleyton Hewitt wore a vibrant yellow slip dress paired with a brown leather jacket, boots, vintage leather handbag and a skinny patterned scarf for her performance.
She performed at the Moshpit Bar in Erskenville with her band Father’s Favorite, supporting fellow indie rockers Mason’s Video Club and Aloe Vera.
This latest ensemble, worn by the Home and Away star’s eldest daughter and former world tennis champion, would look right at home on the set of Daisy Jones & The Six.
In a case of life imitating art, imitating life, Mia has styled herself as the enigmatic frontwoman of the fictional ’70s band recently portrayed by Elvis Presley’s granddaughter and fellow ‘nepo baby’ Riley Keough.
The award-winning TV series, based on a historical novel of the same name, tells the story of a globally renowned band from the 1970s that falls apart shortly after hitting the big time.
The group is led by Daisy Jones, a wealthy but lonely singer who pretends to be a bohemian, and is loosely inspired by Fleetwood Mac and the recording of their 1977 album Rumours.
Mia and her friend Cherise are Father’s Favorite, a ‘bohemian folk rock duo’ that ‘captures the spirit of the ’70s with a modern twist and channels the essence of classic legends like Fleetwood Mac and Nancy Sinatra.’

In a recent photo dump shared to the band’s Instagram account, the teen rockers referred to themselves as “The Queens of King Street.”
The main drag in Sydney’s Newtown is the beating heart of the suburb’s eclectic live music, arts and foodie scene, loved by starving artists and the LGBTQ+ community.
But starving artist Mia is not.
When the young artist wraps up her gigs in dingy dive bars in the Inner West, she returns to her parents’ $10.3 million Glenhaven’s Estate.

Her parents bought the resort-style coastal estate with a six-bedroom residence in the quiet of former Parramatta Eels grandfather Nathan Hindmarsh and his wife, interior designer Bonnie Hindmarsh, last November.
Bonnie had previously described the modern coastal barn as her ‘dream home’, having been built from scratch on the five-acre site in semi-rural Sydney.
It features large open living areas, a separate office, a guest house, a cabana, a swimming pool, a storage shed and a tennis court.

The stunning home is one of more than half a dozen multi-million dollar mansions in the family’s property portfolio, which extends to Burleigh Heads in Queensland, the Bahamas, Kenthurst in Sydney’s northwest, Palm Beach and Adelaide in South Australia. as a pair of luxury apartments in Melbourne’s St. Kilda.
The Hewitts were the reigning king and queen of Australian tabloids for years.
The couple, who married in Sydney in 2005, hired about 50 security guards to keep paparazzi and the public at bay as helicopters hovered over the wedding.
Once upon a time pop star Bec looked like a proud mum as she attended one of Mia’s recent performances at the Oxford Art Factory.
The tennis WAG, 41, who visited the venue in the exclusive suburb of Darlinghurst, seemed excited to see her child perform.
Although she is best known for playing Home and Away fan favorite Hailey Smith Lawson from 1998 to 2005, the actress also had a brief musical career.
Thanks to her television fame, Bec released a solo album of the same name in 2002 and her debut single All Seats Taken reached number 10 on the ARIA chart.
She performed at the Moshpit Bar in Erskenville with her band Father’s Favorite, supporting fellow indie rockers Mason’s Video Club and Aloe Vera.
However, her album received mixed reviews and her music career effectively came to an end in 2004 when she parted ways with the Warner Music label.
A source said New idea 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 and unreliable managers, and doesn’t want Mia to make the mistakes she made early in her career, such as being too optimistic about certain jobs,” the source said.
They added that while music is Mia’s current passion, she hasn’t ruled out a career in front of the camera, just like her actress mother.
