1) Maisie looks like Olivia --> neutral, factual statement
2) Maisie DOES look like Olivia --> more emphatic
Example scenario:
- You haven't met Maisie before, but your friend tells you that she looks like Olivia
- Later that day, you meet Maisie for the first time, and might exclaim to your friend, "She DOES look like Olivia!"
- This means - you were right! They really do look similar!
