The star took to Instagram on Thursday to share a joyful photo of herself as a little girl on the beach, with her glamorous mom Muffie Cabot, who was dressed in a stylish bikini while sitting on the sand smiling at her daughter.

Ali's fans were quick to comment on the photo, with many following her down the path of nostalgia, with many saying that they too, had the same bathing suit that she was wearing!
