15 celebrity moms whose look-alike daughters are following in their footsteps

Like her mother, Gerber is a successful model. She has been the face of campaigns for Versace, Calvin Klein, and Saint Laurent, Chanel, Jimmy Choo, and Louis Vuitton.

Gerber is also an actress, having appeared in "American Horror Story."

She's so similar to her mom, 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 mom," 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 realizing which one of us it is," she continued.

Gigi's modeling career began when she was a toddler. She has since been the cover star of over 20 issues of Vogue.

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 mom 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 modeling 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 mom in the kitchen."

After becoming the youngest artist signed to Jay-Z's record label, Roc Nation, Willow Smith released her debut album in 2015.

Smith and her mom appear together on "Red Table Talk" on Facebook Watch.

On an episode posted on April 25, Smith said she and her mom had a conversation about anxiety "really recently." Smith experienced anxiety as a child, but she said that her mom didn't understand it, Insider's Olivia Singh reported. However, Pinkett Smith came to the realization that she also experiences anxiety, but she didn't realize it because she suppressed it for years.

"She had no idea," Smith said. "So, I kinda had to forgive her a little bit."

The clothing line was based on Madonna's style in the 1980s and named after her hit song "Material Girl."

Leon opened up about her relationship with her famous mom, telling Interview Magazine in 2021 that her pop star mother "is such a control freak."

"We don't get any handouts in my family. Obviously, I grew up with extreme privilege. There's no denying that," she said. "But I think my mom saw all these other kids of famous people, and she was like, 'My kids are not going to be like this.'"

With "Cosby" star Lisa Bonet as a mom and Lenny Kravitz as a dad, it's only fitting that Zoë Kravitz would grow up to be an actress and singer.

This year, Kravitz starred as Catwoman in "The Batman" and Angela Childs in "Kimi."

She has also released music with her band, Lolawolf, and as a solo artist with producer Jack Antonoff.

Freundlich worked as a production assistant on Moore's 2020 film "After the Wedding," which Moore's husband, Bart Freundlich, directed.

"We loved having her around more than she loved being around," Bart told AP in 2019. "The best part of it was just getting to be with each other constantly."

At 22, Ava has already been forging her own path. In November 2021, she modeled for Beyoncé's Ivy Park collection and became the face of Pat McGrath's "Bridgerton"-themed makeup line the following month.

The model, who is the daughter of Witherspoon and actor Ryan Phillippe, is often compared to her mom, partially because she's the "Hello Sunshine" founder's only daughter and also because the pair share a striking resemblance, but she said she hasn't felt pressure to follow in her mother's footsteps.

"My parents have always encouraged me to choose the path that's right for me and, you know, guide me along the way to make better choices than I might make," she told E! News' "Daily Pop" in December 2021.

Rumer, who is the daughter of Moore and Bruce Willis, appeared in several films with her parents as a kid. In 1995, she made her feature film debut (alongside Moore) in "Then and Now." She has appeared in numerous films since making her debut, including "The House Bunny," "Sorority Row," and Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood."

In addition to her film credits, Rumer has also appeared on a variety of TV shows, including hits like "Pretty Little Liars" and "Empire," and reality series like "The Masked Singer." She also starred on Broadway in the musical "Chicago," where she played Roxie Hart.

Before she was even 2, Mamie Gummer made her onscreen debut opposite her mom, Jack Nicholson, and Jeff Daniels in 1986's "Heartburn." Streep was actually pregnant with her daughter Grace at the time — almost three decades later, Grace Gummer would also costar with Daniels on HBO's "The Newsroom."

Mamie Gummer went on to star on "Emily Owens, MD," "The Good Wife," and "True Detective," while Grace Gummer has had recurring roles on "Mr. Robot" and "Extant," among others.

Von Haselberg is currently filming "The Raging Heart of Maggie Acker" and "Love... Reconsidered." She also co-hosts the podcast "Having A Night."

Von Haselberg held a small wedding in June 2020.

"It was a pandemic wedding, a very small wedding, and her husband, her new husband, hasn't had a haircut in three months," Midler told Manila Bulletin of her daughter's wedding. "So she looked online on how to cut hair and she gave him a pretty good haircut. I mean, that is the world we are living in now."

Brinkley-Cook modeled for Claire's as a teen. She went on to appear in Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issues and a NYDJ campaign along with her mom and sister Alexa Ray Joel.

Amurri has even played a young version of her mother's character on the Fox series "Monarch."

Johnson hasn't always had the easiest relationship with her mom, due to her parents' divorce and public struggles with substance abuse.

"I was so consistently unmoored and discombobulated. I didn't have an anchor anywhere," Johnson told Vogue of her childhood in 2017.

Johnson recently starred in "The Lost Daughter," a psychological drama about motherhood directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal. She told Entertainment Weekly in February that her mother had watched the film three times, but she hadn't spoken to her about it.

"I think for some people it takes time to marinate," she said. "I think when she's ready to talk to me about it, she will."

Beyoncé's "Brown Skin Girl" — released as part of "The Lion King: The Gift" — won best music video at the 2021 Grammy Awards.

Her daughter is listed as a featured artist in the song alongside Beyoncé, singer WizKid, and SAINt JHN. In addition to starring in the music video, Blue Ivy's vocals open and close the song.

Hawn shares a special bond with Hudson, her only daughter.

"As we grow older together, I can't express the amount of love, joy, laughter, sadness we share," Hawn told People magazine in 2017. "She understands me, I understand her. We're girls. We share everything. She's, like, the greatest."

The two A-listers have yet to star in a film together, but Hawn told "Watch What Happens Live" host Andy Cohen in 2020 that she's thought about making a movie with her children and grandchildren.

"In every iteration, we've all laughed and [went,] 'Can you imagine?'" she said. "And what's interesting is that our grandchildren are also talented. So you're thinking, what would happen [if we actually did this]? I mean, Oliver's children and Kate's too, they're naturals."
