(CNN) - A Texas toddler has been turned into a “Golden Girl” with a doozy of a hairdo that’s giving people major 80s nostalgia.

Evelyn “Evie” Mae Mathas suddenly transformed from a 1-year-old into a woman in her golden years after her first haircut, as seen in videos posted to TikTok.

“She turned into a little, mini Betty White,” said Autumn Mathas, Evie’s mother.

Evie’s grandmother, hair stylist Trina King, gave the toddler her first haircut, blow-dry and tease, resulting in a frenzy of 80s nostalgia online. Most say Evie reminds them of either Blanche or Rose from “The Golden Girls.”

“I took a Jazzercise class from her in ‘89,” one commenter wrote.

Another said, “She sold me some Mary Kay cosmetics last week.”

Mathas, also a hair stylist, says she was shocked by how her daughter’s hair turned out.

“Popped out looking like an old lady,” she said.

She adds that the secret to the hairdo is Evie’s large volume of hair and its texture.

“Just gotta tease the heck out of it,” she said.

The internet is enchanted with Evie and the nostalgia she invokes. The videos of her now have millions of views.

“I was not expecting that,” King told Today.com. “It’s made so many people happy.”
