8 celebrities with lookalike daughters following in their footsteps: from Gigi and Yolanda Hadid and Lourdes Leon and Madonna, to Reese Witherspoon and Ava Phillippe and Kaia Gerber and Cindy Crawford
- Kaia Gerber, who bears a close resemblance to her supermodel mum Cindy Crawford, has been the face of Versace, Calvin Klein, Chanel, Jimmy Choo and Louis Vuitton
- Madonna and daughter Lourdes Leon collaborated on a clothing line called Material Girl, while Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith’s daughter Willow acts and sings
Models like Kaia Gerber and Gigi Hadid not only bear uncanny resemblances to their celebrity mums Cindy Crawford and Yolanda Hadid, respectively, but they are also following their footsteps into the limelight.
1. Kaia Gerber and Cindy Crawford
Gerber is also an actress, having appeared in American Horror Story. She’s so similar to her mum that even Gerber struggles to tell the difference in photos sometimes. “From day one, people in the industry were often taken aback by my resemblance to my mum,” she wrote in an essay for Vogue in 2019.
“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,” she continued.
2. Gigi Hadid and Yolanda Hadid
Gigi was a senior at Malibu High School when Yolanda signed onto the Bravo reality series, which she starred on for three seasons before departing in 2016. “That wasn’t my life or a part of my growing up. My mum wasn’t on TV until I was a senior in high school, so I was just on my way out of the house,” Gigi, who studied criminal psychology at The New School in New York City before pursuing modelling full-time, told InStyle in March.
She continued, “But it was weird for me. I would come home from school and there would be production trucks outside. I would scale the staircase to my room so I wouldn’t have to go say hi to my mum in the kitchen.”
3. Willow Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith
