Meet the Chicest Celebrity Mother-Daughter Duos

What could be as chic as an iconic supermodel mother-daughter pair? It seems like the iconic model Cindy Crawford’s talents are possibly genetic as her daughter Kaia Gerber is taking over the modeling world just like her mother did in the '80s and '90s. At only 18 years old, Gerber earned the coveted Model of the Year award at the 2018 Fashion Awards, has appeared in fashion campaigns for iconic designers, and walked for various acclaimed fashion houses. Not only do Crawford and Gerber's runway walks give us the best fashion moments, but their twinning outfits and looks do too. 

There might not be any more of an iconic parenting duo than actress Lisa Bonet and legendary rock singer Lenny Kravitz. Hearing their down-to-earth daughter Zoë Kravitz talk about partying with singer Prince as a childhood tradition isn't relatable by any stretch of the imagination, but goes to prove that she had no choice but to walk in the superstar path she is currently in. 

Besides their beloved acting chops, what we probably love the most about these two beauties is their legendary style. Don't take it from us; apparently the queen herself, Beyoncé is also a huge fan of the pair. So much so, that she dressed up herself and her twins as Bonet and Kravitz for Halloween last year. To which naturally Kravitz responded by asking if she could call Beyoncé her mom now. 

The uncanny resemblance between actress Demi Moore and her three daughters makes it hard to distinguish who is the mom when seeing a photograph of the ladies altogether. The daughters have followed both their mother and father Bruce Willis, in pursuing the arts with the eldest Rumer Willis's recurring role on the TV show Empire, Scout as a singer-songwriter, and Tallulah as an artist/mental health advocate.

Blythe Danner and Gwyneth Paltrow’s amount of accolades are as similar as their looks. The triple threat of all mother-daughter acting duos, these two have years of experience on stage and in television and film. Danner is best known for her Broadway performance for Butterflies are Free and her role in Meet the Fockers. Paltrow, known for her multiple high-profile acting roles, is also just as well-known for her success in her lifestyle company Goop along with its Netflix docuseries The Goop Lab. Despite both being busy, they are always there to defend each other and share motherly advice. There seems to be no such thing as TMI with Paltrow and Danner's candid Goop podcast on old boyfriends, Tinder, vibrators—as well as parenting of course. And now, Paltrow's daughter Apple Martin, who recently graduated high school, is joining the stylish sisterhood with a chic fashion sense of her own.

As fashion journalists, of course, we couldn't leave out the historic Fendi family. The four-generation Fendi brand has led to stories of successful Fendi women. Anna Fendi, one of the five famous Fendi sisters, revolutionized Fendi’s leather and jewelry sector. Her daughter Silvia Venturini Fendi brought fame to Fendi with her creation of the iconic Baguette bag. On top of being a mom, she is also the House’s creative director of accessories, menswear, and children. One of her daughters, Delfina Delettrez, represents a new generation as a successful jewelry designer. Luckily for buyers, we will have the perfect accessories to match our next dinner outfit after quarantine. 

With classic '70s hits and some of the best hair in Hollywood, we don't know who couldn't find Diana and Tracee Ellis Ross inspiring. Since the age of 15, this disco queen Diana Ross has been at the center of fame and mainstream media, known for her time as the lead singer of The Supremes and her solo singing career, amassing 70 hit singles during her career. Building a legacy of being a sensational and talented musical diva, ironically we love her daughter Tracee Ellis Ross is loved for perhaps all the opposite reasons. The hilarious and candid actress is formally known for her lead role on the ABC comedy series Black-ish. However, Millenials know her for being a social media and meme-worthy superstar. Perhaps her ultimate social media impact was getting her mom to make her very own Instagram account. 

This Kardashian/Jenner clan of successful women demonstrates that at the end of the day, family always comes first. Kris Jenner, the matriarch and "momager" of the clan, has helped her daughters take over the fields of American media in fashion, cosmetics, modeling, and more. Rather it's their products, photos, or iconic sibling quarrels, they keep us entertained. We love them for their authentic display of what happens when a household is solely run by women: a chaotic but successful and loving mess. It’s difficult to keep up (pun intended) with these women’s growing successes as well as Jenner’s granddaughters North West, True Thompson, Penelope Disick, Dream Kardashian, and Stormi Webster.

The supermodel and daughter pair are truly mirrored images of each other, with daughter Lila Moss inheriting her mother's coveted cheekbones. The protegé of fashion icon Kate Moss, Lila Moss is already signed to her mother’s modeling agency at 17 years old. What else is there to love than being part of a famous model agency that's also your mom's? With her mother’s genes, it’s no surprise Lila Moss’ first official beauty campaign was for none other than Marc Jacobs just a year ago. With Lila Moss rising as a model, it makes one curious to see if she will be just as successful and eccentric as her mother. 

As Madonna is frequently referred to as the Queen of Pop, her daughter Lourdes Leon has been dubbed fashion’s new lowkey It girl. Taking an alternative path, Leon debuted as a model in 2016 for Stella McCartney’s fragrance and shot a fashion campaign for Miu Miu’s Spring/Summer 2019. This pair has been unstoppable since the beginning with their clothing line Material Girl launched in 2010. Blending their careers with shared spontaneous and fearless personalities, we can't help but be enamored by their rock and roll personas.  

Actress Jada Pinkett Smith, flourishing musician Willow Smith, and matriarch Adrienne Banfield-Norris are an inseparable trio. The three generations of women co-host the talk show Red Table Talk on Facebook Watch. These perspectives from three different generations bring quality mother-bonding time.

From Jada as a past lead singer of heavy metal band Wicked Wisdom to Willow shaving her hair at her art exhibit (no more hair whipping for now), you never know what to expect with this duo. Their incomprehensible artistic talents are as remarkable as they are socially aware. The family's social activism ranges from rights for women, youth in urban inner cities, and family support to helping Zambian children orphaned by AIDS. We love them because they use their stardom as a platform to discuss and improve social issues in the world. 

Not only is Dakota Johnson's mother Golden Globe-winning actress Melanie Griffith, but her grandmother, Tippi Hedren also shares that accolade. Hedren is most well-known for her leading role in Alfred Hitchcock's 1963 film The Birds, but before her breakout role, she was a successful fashion model. Griffith followed in her mother's footsteps in the '70s by starting out with independent thrillers, before breaking into the mainstream and receiving critical acclaim for Working Girl. Johnson took after both her grandmother and mother by starting her career as a model, then transitioning to acting. With three generations of successful actresses, it's no doubt that Johnson's career will only continue to flourish. 

Could you imagine getting to say your parents are Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman? Because Maya Hawke can! Hawke started taking after her model-turned-actress mother when she made her acting debut in the 2017 adaptation of Little Women, the same year she starred in a Calvin Klein campaign. Now she's best known for her role as Robin in Stranger Things, but she also is a singer-songwriter with her second album coming out in late 2022. 

In recent years, acclaimed actress Reese Witherspoon has been spotted out and about with her daughter—and near identical look-alike—Ava Phillippe, more times than we can count. Aside from her blonde hair and wide smile, Phillippe also inherited her mother's infectious charisma, and the 24-year-old is best known today for her online presence, where she's amassed millions of followers.

Mother-daughter model duos don't get more iconic than Vanessa Paradis and her daughter, Lily-Rose Depp. Much like her mother, Depp has recently ventured into the acting side of the entertainment industry, as seen in her splashy appearance in HBO's The Idol. 

Although today she's best known as the mother to two of the 21st century's most iconic supermodels and It girls, Yolanda Hadid was a model of her own caliber back in the day. The trio has been spotted at nearly every major fashion event in the past decade, proving the Hadid family's nearly unrivaled influence in the industry.

Although she had yet to venture into the entertainment industry like either of her parents, Carys Zeta Douglas has joined her mother, Catherine Zeta-Jones, at numerous high-profile events, with appearances everywhere from the Cannes Film Festival to the front row of Fendi fashion shows.

While many often forget Judy Garland and Liza Minnelli are mother and daughter, the pair of actresses are two of the most iconic starlets to cross our screens in the past century. 

Iconic American actress Leslie Mann, known for films like 17 Again and The Other Woman, married director and producer legend Judd Apatow in 1997, and since the birth of their two daughters, Iris Apatow and Maude Apatow, the two have been engaged in raising two members of the next generation of incredible Hollywood actors. 

Contemporary Hollywood starlet Kate Hudson likely learned all her top-tier acting skills from her Academy Award-winning mother, Goldie Hawn. The two appear to be a tight-knit mother-daughter duo and are consistently photographed enjoying walks in downtown Los Angeles together.

Daughter of Hole guitarist Courtney Love and Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, Frances Bean Cobain is one of the world's most beloved celebrity children. When she's not joining her rockstar mother at high-profile events, Cobain is busy with her own music and art career.

Three generations of iconic mothers and daughters stun in this photo. Elvis Presley's former wife, Priscilla Presley, is pictured here with her daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, and her granddaughter, actress Riley Keough, who's best known for her work in Daisy Jones and the Six.
