When you’re known worldwide from birth, it’s hard to choose a path different from your parents. For many, their mothers are their first role models, and this is true for celebrities as well. We’ve seen many daughters of famous personalities excel in acting or music. Let’s turn our attention to those who have taken the runway by storm.

Kaia Gerber, Daughter of Cindy Crawford

We all remember the top model of the 90s, Cindy Crawford, who dazzled not only on magazine covers and fashion shows but also as a fitness star on VHS tapes. Cindy has two children, Kaia and Presley, both of whom have been involved in modeling from a young age. Kaia, often dubbed the “young Cindy” due to their striking resemblance, posed for Versace’s children’s line at age 10. Today, she fronts major fashion brands, opens shows, and appears in films. Alongside modeling and Hollywood, Kaia is passionate about psychology and engages in volunteer work with her brother.

She started her stardom in the fashion world, gaining significant recognition through her collaboration with Chanel in 2015. Since then, she has been a regular on runways and in ad campaigns. Currently, Lily-Rose focuses on her acting career, with several films and series under her belt, including the controversial “The Idol” with The Weeknd.

Lourdes Leon, Daughter of Madonna

The world has watched Madonna’s daughter grow up under intense scrutiny. Lourdes, with her striking eyes, has blossomed into a diva who not only follows in her mother’s footsteps but also carves out her niche in modeling and acting. Despite early career opportunities closely monitored by Madonna, Lourdes chose to forge her path after high school. In modeling, she champions body positivity, not conforming to traditional beauty standards and measurements.

However, Deva stands out as an exception. She has won widespread admiration not through her parents’ fame but by her striking looks. Deva collaborates with major fashion houses and graces runways and magazine covers.

The daughter of Mick Jagger, the lead singer of the legendary English rock band Rolling Stones, and top model Jerry Hall chose to follow her mother’s path and began her modeling career at a young age. Starting with ad photo shoots, Georgia soon appeared on the covers of major fashion publications such as Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, and W Magazine.

Gigi and Bella Hadid, Daughters of Yolanda Hadid

The most famous sister models of our time started their careers on the path laid by their mother, Yolanda Hadid, a successful model in her own right who frequently graced glossy magazines. Yolanda actively supported her daughters’ modeling careers from a young age. Little Gigi modeled for Baby Guess and, at 17, signed with IMG Models. Her career skyrocketed after being featured on the cover of Carine Roitfeld’s fashion book, leading to a contract with Tom Ford and numerous magazine covers. Gigi temporarily stepped back from modeling to focus on motherhood, with her younger sister Bella stepping into the spotlight. With her distinct look, Bella confidently strides the runway, appearing on magazine covers and in major couture shows. Their brother Anwar also follows in their footsteps, but for now, Bella and Gigi remain at the forefront.
