British photographer Terry O'Neill has unveiled a new exhibition of celebrity mothers and daughters, including Jo Wood, Twiggy and Judy Garland, just in time for Mother's Day.

The new collection, Mum: A Snapshot, is led by Jo Wood and daughter Leah, who appear in the exhibition twice thanks to a 1981 shot of the pair on tour with Ronnie Wood and the Rolling Stones.

Capturing the special bond between mother and daughter, the show has been created in homage to the photographer's own late mother, and is free to the public this weekend, at London's White Space gallery.

'I can tell her anything, just about anything, she's always there for me and I love her,' says Leah Wood of mother Jo, pictured here on tour with Ronnie Wood and the Rolling Stones in 1981

'I actually did it in homage to my mother who I never had a chance to thank, because she died when I was young,'  Terry O'Neill told This Morning. 

'I never had a chance to thank her, and as you grow older of course you appreciate your mother more.'

He added: 'So I got together this exhibition as a tribute to Mother’s Day.'

Terry has been photographing celebrities for the last 50 years and the new show features both old and new pictures.

A rare gem among the collection, which was created in association with online gift specialist Not On The High Street, is a touching photograph of Liza Minnelli pictured with her mother Judy Garland, in 1963.

Terry said: 'That was when I was 20 years old, I worked on the Daily Sketch, which was a tabloid paper at the time, and I got sent round to photograph Liza Minnelli.

'I go round to this mews house in Belgravia, door opens and it's Judy Garland! 

'We got on well, and she made dinner for me and her daughter too.'

Other subjects in the heart warming collection include Emilia Fox and mother Joanna, Holly Willoughby and her mother Lynn, as well as British icon Twiggy and daughter Carly Lawson. 

Several of the shots which feature in O'Neill's exhibition were originally intended as gifts for the husbands of the women pictured.

The 1980 shot of actress Nanette Newman, photographed with her daughters Sarah Standing and TV presenter Emma Forbes, was blown up by the photographer as a surprise present for the late Bryan Forbes, director of films including The Stepford Wives.

Actress Britt Eckland was still in a London hospital after giving birth to daughter Victoria when this photograph was taken in 1965, as a gift for her husband, British actor Peter Sellers

Swedish actress Britt Eckland also commissioned O'Neill to take a picture of herself with newborn baby Victoria in 1965, as a surprise gift for her husband Peter Sellers.

The photographer revealed that the actress was still in a London hospital after giving birth, but looked radiant nonetheless.

Britain's Got Talent judge Alesha Dixon also appears in the exhibition, along with Gloria Hunniford and her late daughter Caron Keating, plus models Jodie and Jemma Kidd with mother Wendy.

From the Little Black Dress worn by Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's to the gingham pinafore seen on Judy Garland in The Wizard of Oz, some Hollywood outfits have become as iconic as the actresses who wore them.

Now film fans will have the opportunity to see the costumes close-up as a collection of famous outfits spanning a century of movie making will go on display at London's V&A museum this autumn.

As well as Holly Golightly's black dress and Dorothy's pinafore, the revealing white dress worn by actress Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct will also be on display.

In the 1992 film, Stone’s character Catherine Tramell repeatedly crosses her legs during a police interrogation with Michael Douglas, leading to speculation that she was not wearing any underwear.

Other iconic costumes at the major exhibition at the museum in Kensington, west London, are Marilyn Monroe’s sheer white cocktail dress from Some Like It Hot and Meryl Streep's outfits from when she portrayed Margaret Thatcher in the 2011 film The Iron Lady.

Male costumes are not over-looked with Christian Bales' Batman suit from this year's hit The Dark Knight Rises and Daniel Radcliffe's Gryffindor school uniform from his role as Harry Potter also going on show.

The ultimate LBD: Audrey Hepburn's costume from Breakfast at Tiffany's is one of the most iconic in the exhibition

The exhibition has involved sourcing, identifying and securing objects over the course of five years.

Deborah Nadoolman Landis, a Hollywood costume designer and a guest curator, said: 'This landmark exhibition will provide a once in a lifetime opportunity to explore the most beloved characters in Hollywood history and gain insight on the role of the costume designer and their vital contribution to cinema storytelling.'

Sir Christopher Frayling, a fellow curator, added: 'The design of costumes for films is often take for granted or misunderstood.

'This exhibition presents an ideal opportunity to set the record straight and will do so in a most spectacular way.'

The collectors who have loaned to the exhibition range from major motion picture studios, costume houses, public museums and archives and private individuals.

Other famous costumes include those from such films as Fight Club, Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark, the Addams Family, The Last Emperor and Brokeback Mountain.

Also on show are costumes from Cleopatra, Ben Hur, True Grit, Star Wars, Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Avatar.

Hollywood costumes exhibition will take place at the V&A from October 20 to January 27.
