Christie Brinkley is that your mini-me? There’s no denying that the iconic blue-eyed, blonde-haired super model’s third and youngest child, Sailor Lee Brinkley-Cook, is the spitting image of her famous mom. She has even followed (bathing)suit, becoming a model for Sports Illustrated.

10. Bebe Buell and Liv Tyler
Bombshell Bebe Buell was a singer, fashion model and fixture in the 1970s backstage rock scene. She served as the inspiration for Penny Lane in “Almost Famous.” But perhaps her greatest achievement was passing down those beautiful baby blues and giving birth to the lovable Liv Tyler.

The story behind Liv’s discovery that Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler was her biological father has made headlines for years. Like both of her perennially-know parents, Liv exudes a magnetic persona. As one of Hollywood’s most talked about mother-daughter duos, Liv and Bebe share more than their good looks and remain very close.
11. Vanessa Paradis and Lily Rose-Depp
Lily-Rose Depp has blossomed into a surreal look-alike of her famous mama, French singer/actress/model Vanessa Paradis. The uncanny resemblance between Paradis and her daughter by Johnny Depp has resulted in an already-explosive career for the 18-year-old stunner.

Paradis’ dead ringer daughter further proved she’s a chip off the old block when she was named the face (and cheekbones!) for Chanel’s fragrance, No.5 L’Eau, 26 years after her magnifique mother garnered fame for posing for the fabled fashion house. Talk about très chic!
12. Melanie Griffith and Dakota Johnson
Dakota Johnson most notably stars in the “Fifty Shades” trilogy, but did you know the ethereal beauty is her family’s third generation of Hollywood leading ladies? Showbiz is definitely in the DNA of Johnson’s maternal lineage.

The film world is basically a family affair when your mother is Hollywood headline-maker Melanie Griffith and your grandmother is Hitchcock star Tippi Hedren. Johnson actually got her big-screen start playing her real mother’s on-screen daughter in “Crazy in Alabama.” Totally crazy, right?
13. Cindy Crawford and Kaia Gerber
Following in her supermodel mother’s fashionable shoes, Cindy Crawford’s carbon copy daughter Kaia Gerber has already graced the coveted cover of Vogue. Pitted as the modeling world’s next big thing, Gerber, 16, already has an impressive resume. Needless to say, she got it from her mama!

Gerber’s good genes seem to have her on track to climb to the same level of ubiquitous fame that made Crawford a world-recognized name in the 80’s and 90’s. From rockabies to the runway, this mother-daughter bond has been through it all, including photo shoots and fashion shows.
14. Kris Jenner and Kendall Jenner
Mogul “momager” Kris Jenner is the unflagging matriarch of the famous Jenner-Kardashian clan. Although all of her children have contributed to the bodacious brood’s empire, second-youngest child, Kendall Jenner, has forged ahead with the biggest individual career success of all her reality star siblings.

While Kris famously pulls the strings behind the scenes, everyone is trying to keep up with Kendall, who ranked as 2017’s highest-paid model. Whether Keeping Up with the Kardashians has you saying “like, OMG!” or not, there’s no denying that the right combo of DNA and diligence have paid off for these two.

If Madonna is the “Queen of Pop,” then does that make her eldest daughter, Lourdes Leon, a princess? At least in her legendary mother’s (and the paparazzi’s) eye, the 21-year-old is! Fans have been quick to notice that Leon spot-on looks like a pre-blonde version of her “Vogue” mom.
