Celebrities Who Look Exactly Like Their Kids

Vanessa Paradis & Lily-Rose Depp

Source: The Mirror15 year old Lily-Rose may well be poised to fill mum Vanessa's shoes, as they strut down down the catwalk for Chanel. Karl Lagerfeld's muse for some time, Vanessa glowed with pride as her daughter with ex-husband Johnny Depp dazzled the crowd with her bob-cut and strapless black number.

Zoë Kravitz and Lisa Bonet

Source: TimeNot only do Zoe and Lisa look the spit of each other, Zoe has recently starred in a reboot of High Fidelity, in which her mum co-starred in Cusack’s original in 2000. Constantly twinning at star-studded parties, they certainly are one of the hottest mother-daughter duos around.

Kate Moss and Lila Grace

Source: Hollywood lifeIt's not like Lila Grace was ever going to struggle getting those precious contacts in the modelling world now was it? By the time she was 19, she had already worked promoting Marc Jacob's Perfect fragrance and appeared the cover of British Vogue. Not only following her mother's example in print, she’s also walked the runway for Versace, Blumarine, and Richard Quinn.

Kate Hudson & Goldie Hawn

Source: Showbiz Cheat SheetActress duo Kate and Goldie are a tight-knit unit, there's no denying it! Speaking to People magazine shortly after the birth of her own daughter, Goldie reflected:

“Mom always said to me, ‘Don’t you ever let a man dim your light.' So I’ve never defined myself through the way a man sees me, but I can define myself in the unit that we can create together. That is what mom gave to me.”

Brooklyn and David Beckham

Source: Manchester Evening NewsThere's no denying it, there's something of a young Becks in his son Brooklyn's eyes. After seeing his son marry his "soul-mate" back in April this year, David reportedly regretted his choice of gift (a cool £500,000 electric Jag.) After driving it for 20mins, the footballing legend had changed his mind. He's really more of a traditional chap at heart (and if the car is still going spare, we wouldn't say no...) Congrats to the happy couple!

Melanie Griffith & Dakota Johnson

Source: PeopleProud as she was that her actress daughter landed the 50 Shades of Grey part, we don't think Melanie will be watching Dakota's performance anytime soon.

“She would be very uncomfortable if I saw it, and I would be very uncomfortable if I saw it,” Griffith said. “So we would never be able to talk about it, so why would I see it?”

Fair enough!

Jaden & Will Smith

Source: EssenceSpeaking to New York Metro while promoting their film After Earth, Will Smith was asked to comment on his son floating the idea of becoming emancipated. To be fair to him, he did an excellent job of not taking it personally:

"I want him to have as much command and freedom if he is willing to accept responsibility. Those are two concepts that are inexorably bound.”

Meryl Streep & Mamie Gummer

Source: ABC NewsIt's not hard to see the family resemblance between acting queen Meryl Streep and any of her children, but Mamie in particular has that certain something about her. Not content to look alike, the pair are also following their appearances in Heartburn with performances in Ricki and the Flash.

Tish & Miley Cyrus

Source: PinterestIt's clear Momager Tish is incredibly proud of her girl. We all saw Miley's efforts to rid herself of the "Hannah Montana image," but recently mum has been really impressed by her gal's new clean-living lifestyle, free of drugs and drink:

“She is just so unbelievable. She’s just incredible. That’s all I can say about her. She likes yoga and working out, eats clean and all this. So whatever I did, I feel like I did right.” (Speaking to Chicks in the Office podcast.)

You probably can't take all the credit though Tish, seeing as how you admittedly love to unwind with the family whilst smoking pot...

Adrienne Banfield-Jones & Jada Pinkett Smith

When Jada's father died in 2010, a whole host of unsavoury truths began to emerge about her parents' relationship. Speaking on Red Table Talk on two operate occasions, Adrienne and Jada both recounted violence in the short marriage, as well as Adrienne reflecting that not all their sexual activity was consensual. It must have been an important, but especially tough conversation, not only for the mother-daughter, but also Willow Smith, who was also there.

Robin Wright & Dylan Penn

Source: ElleIt's not an experience every 5-grader can claim to have had: actress and model Dylan told People that after her teacher put on The Princess Bride for the class to watch, she found herself staring at her mum.

"All the boys in my class starting talking about how pretty my mom was!"

Fair enough - it's a family trait, clearly.

Susan Sarandon & Eva Amurri Martino

Source: Closer WeeklyListening to their joint interview with Today, it's clear that Susan and Eva have more in common than looks: family, strong maternal instincts, and carbs (yes! Hand me the bread basket.) Despite admitting having very different parenting techniques, Eva says the most important thing her mum taught her was:

"The importance of being kind to people, being there for people."

Amen.

Colin & Tom Hanks

Source: UPROXXFacial features aren't all that acting legend Tom Hanks shares with his son, Colin. Laughing with People, Tom revealed that he was in competition with Colin, as his Bridge of Spies was released the same day as Colin's documentary, All Things Must Pass. It was all in jest however, and Tom was spotted at his son's premier, along with his second wife Rita, with whom Colin repeatedly has a solid relationship.

Sophie Von Haselberg & Bette Midler

Source: Daily MailWe actually might be seeing double with these two! Sophie recently spoke to Today of her impromptu, tiny wedding during COVID, for which her mum did the flowers. Being an only child to a famous mother, she says she was always extra conscious of who she brought home:

"I mean, obviously to me, she's always just gonna be my mom. Like, of course I'm very, very aware of her standing in culture, but she is also my mom and I think because I'm an only child, bringing someone home means so much more because of that."

Thandie Newton and Nico Parker

Source: Footwear NewsWestworld star, Thandie was positively beaming with pride as she accompanied daughter Nico to her first premier of Dumbo. Speaking to People, Thandie said that while her daughter was acting too, she was most definitely taking her own path:

“I’m so thrilled for her. And she’s got me to just be this she-tiger, waiting to pounce at any moment, just looking after her.”

Channing and Everly Tatum

Source: OK MagazineMum's often feel quite aggrieved when daughters turn out to look more like their dads (child birth is no joke, folks) but these two are so cute we can forgive that genetic unfairness. This is quite an old pic (she must be 9 by now) but we've got to praise Channing for his dedication to life as a single dad post-divorce. He's even written a kids book he's thriving so much: The One and Only Sparkella.

Leni and Heidi Klum

Source: PeopleUntil her appearance on the cover of Vogue with Supermodel mother Heidi, Leni and her siblings had always been fiercely protected from the media. With that photoshoot after her 16th birthday however, her mum was happy to debut her gorgeous girl.

“Sixteen is a good age,” says Heidi. “If you are allowed to drive a car, you can also have an official Instagram account and show your face. And to be allowed to start with a Vogue cover is an insane privilege.” (Vogue)

With a life spent in front of a camera, she's probably well placed to make that call for her kids!

Kris Jenner & Kim Kardashian (and North West tbh)

Source: The SunWell, what else is there to be said about the Kardashians which hasn't already been said a thousand times before? But in case you've not been "keeping up," Kim is Kris' second of four children with her first husband, OJ Lawyer, Robert Kardashian. Kris manages the careers of all six of her kids, with Kim arguably being the top dog, worth around $1.4billion.

Beyoncé & Tina Knowles

Source: YouTubeBusiness woman and philanthropist, Tina, has always been a fierce advocate of both her daughters, Beyoncé and Solange, especially as black women in the music industry. Speaking to Insider, Tina reflects:

"You don't want to sound like a broken record, but you think, 'My goodness. Why do you think that they can't do this?' Or, 'Why do you think that this is not possible for them?'"

Call it out Tina. It's not ok. Also, we know your girls can do anything.

Cindy Crawford and Kaia Gerber

Source: InsiderDaughter of the 90s supermodel, Kaia didn't really notice the similarities between her and mum Cindy. Now, it's all she can see! Partings aside, they are remarkably similar!

"It used to be that I didn't see it at all, but now I will look at a picture and have to take a moment before realising which one of us it is." (Kaia, in Vogue)

Serena Williams and Olympia Ohanian

Source: PinterestSerena Williams is a Tennis goddess: a 73-time singles tournament champion, an eight-time WTA No. 1 player, and a four-time Olympic gold medalist. She says she's not a pushy mum, but if looking at hers and sister's success in the sport, chances are Olympia will ace her introduction to tennis. The catch is, husband Alexis Ohanian hired a coach who has no idea of the family connection... We're sure mum will be watching the 3 year old from afar though!

Blue Ivy Carter & Jay-Z

Source: Hello MagazineHer expression here is everything! By the time this little star was 5, she'd already made her rapping debut on dad Jay-Z's album 4:44, appearing on the fittingly named bonus tracks "Blue's Freestyle" and "We Family." Even if a lot of it is hard to make out, "never seen a ceiling in my whole life," has got to be out favourite line. Just try and stop this girl!

Beyoncé and Blue Ivy

Source: Page SixAs much as we can see Jay-Z in Blue Ivy, her mama is definitely there too. Not only in looks, in accolades too it would seem. At only 7, she was collecting a Ashford & Simpson Songwriter’s Award at the 2019 Soul Train Awards for her additions to “Brown Skin Girl," along with her parents and St. Jhn.

Minnie Riperton & Maya Rudolph

Source: TwitterIt's that gorgeous smile, right? Star of Saturday Night Live, Bridesmaids, Grown Ups and The Good Place (if you've not watched it - watch it), Maya is one of America's most well loved comics, but is also the daughter of late singer, Minnie Riperton. Minnie was best known for her 1975 single 'Lovin' You,' and was tragically diagnosed with breast cancer in 1976. As it had already spread, she was given 6 months to live. Keeping her terminal prognosis a secret, he carried on touring, recording and became a spokesperson for the American Cancer Society, for which she was awarded the American Cancer Society's Courage Award at the White House in 1978. She died the following year, at just 31.

Gwyneth Paltrow & Apple Martin

Source: South China Morning PostEven the quickest glance at Gwyneth's Instagram feed will show you a) she is incredibly proud her daughter and b) the are the absolute spit of each other. National Daughters Day 2021 necessitated the sweet caption: “Oh man do I love you #nationaldaughtersday". Apple's role as the face of the new Goop collection will, no doubt, cause even more gushing social media moments.

Bebe Buell & Liv Tyler

Source: We heart itIf you can look beyond their different colouring, mother-daughter pair Bebe and Liv definitely share a certain something. The two are amazingly close, especially given that the LoTR star only came to know the true identity of her father when she was 11. Gazing at a poster of Areosmith's Steven Tyler, Liv had a sudden feeling that he was, in fact, her dad, and not Utopia singer Todd Rundgren as she's previously been told. Confronting her mum, she discovered she was right, they'd had a fling in 1976, but Todd had stepped up to be a dad anyway. Good on him.

Kennya Baldwin and Hailey Bieber

Source: Daily MailBoth effortlessly beautiful, it's no surprise the duo became the faces of BareMinerals. The new Mrs Bieber recently used a photo of her mum in her youth to hit back at claims she'd had plastic surgery. Honestly, as if she'd need it with her face, at 25. Behave.

Reese Witherspoon and Deacon Phillippe

Source: PeopleEveryone loves a mother-son pic, especially these two with their identical smiles (and that sunset is just, mwah, chef's kiss!) The caption was pretty gorgeous too, with actress Reese gushing over her boy:

"Not enough words to say how much I love this guy. The way he looks at the world inspires me everyday @deaconphillippe."

It's always gorgeous when parents are built up and challenged by their kids.

Reese Witherspoon and Ava Phillippe

Source: SheKnowsWhatever is in Reese Witherspoon's genetic made up, it must be pretty killer! This could easily be a photoshopped pic of her, arms around her younger self. Mad. Model-influencer Ava isn't afraid to branch out own her own however, frequently changing the colour of her hair (from fuchsia to rainbow - nice.)

Jude and Rafferty Law

Source: PopSugar"We're going to look similar- he's my dad!' was Rafferty Law's excellent put down to the Daily Mail when they brought up the obvious similarities. Slam. He's also following in the great actor's footsteps and has landed himself a role opposite Michael Caine in Twist.
