How do I say "She looks like her aunts on her mother's side"?
Sie sieht wie ihre Tanten mütterlicherseits aus.
I cannot use mütterlicherseits in this case because that would mean "on my mother's side". How do I say "on her mother's/father's side"?

10To me it's okay. Mütterlicherseits refers to the mother of whichever person you've established before. – Emanuel Jan 9 '14 at 21:52
Mütterlicherseits and väterlicherseits are absolutely correct.
You can use them in third person singular, as you did in your example.
