THE phrase “like mother, like daughter” is certainly true for a number of gorgeous celebrities and their glamorous daughters.
Jessica Alba‘s teenage daughter Honor, 17, stole the spotlight at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s headline-grabbing Venice wedding, and threatened to upstage her 44-year-old mum in a nude-coloured dress.
But the red carpet-ready teen isn’t the only daughter to be a carbon copy of their famous mother.
In fact – one of the hottest trends among famous mothers is twinning with their lookalike daughters for social media snaps and A-list events.
So, can you recognise who each of these rising star daughters is related to?
At 19, Lexi Hughes is turning heads in the modelling world, following in mum Amanda Holden’s glamorous footsteps.
Signed by Storm at 16, Lexi’s natural beauty has drawn comparisons to her famous mother, particularly when they twin on the red carpet.
Proud mum Amanda, 54, has nothing but praise for her lookalike daughter.
She previously gushed: “She has a very natural beauty — she just looks stunning.”
While Amanda is known for her daring wardrobe choices on Britain’s Got Talent, she admits to keeping a close eye on Lexi’s wardrobe for anything too revealing.
Although she joked that anything confiscated she wears herself.
A family photo from Greece – with mum Judith, 72, and other daughter Hollie, 13, – showed the good looks run deep with four generations of beauty in one snap.
Having a mother as iconic as Kate Moss, 51, can’t be easy for any budding model.
However, her daughter Lila, 22, whose dad is Jefferson Hack, the co-founder of Dazed Media, is quickly becoming a standout figure in the fashion world.
Following in her mother’s footsteps, Lila has already walked the runway for major designers like Miu Miu and Richard Quinn, solidifying her place as a catwalk rising star.
Her career began at just 14 — the same age Kate was discovered — and she’s continued to flourish ever since, earning high-profile gigs with top brands.
By 16, she was named the face of Marc Jacobs Beauty, landed her first solo Dazed Magazine cover, and featured in Miu Miu’s Spring/Summer 2020 campaign.
The Spice Girls’ hit song “Two Became One” takes on a whole new meaning when you see Mel B and her daughter Phoenix, who’s the spitting image of her famous mum.
Now 26, Phoenix has paid homage to her Spice Girl roots by recreating iconic looks from Mel’s past, including her gold two-piece from the Spice World poster.
She’s also channelled her mum’s patchwork bikini top and trousers from Spice Up Your Life, proving the Scary Spice legacy lives on.
Raised by Mel after her split in 2000 from first husband Jimmy Gulzar, Phoenix is now carving her own path as a model and entrepreneur.
Former managing director of Birmingham City FC Karren Brady might be The Apprentice’s glam leading lady – but it seems it runs in the family with her model daughter, Sophia Peschisolido.
Sophia, daughter of Canadian footballer Paul Peschisolido, has been modelling since the age of 21, when she landed a Topshop campaign back in 2017.
She later became a face of PrettyLittleThing and lingerie company Boux Avenue, and developed life as an influencer – with proud mum Karren even becoming her photographer when lockdown forced her to work from home.
The campaigns made her in-demand for reality shows, especially Love Island, but she always turned them down.
“I’ve been asked to go on it twice but I’ve turned it down,” she told The Sun back in 2020.
Now Sophia, who shares son Leo with fiancé Frankie Makin, is now preparing to hand the genes to a second baby, after announcing she is pregnant in April.
Sienna Miller‘s daughter Marlowe, 12, looked all grown up as she attended Sienna’s sister Savannah Miller’s Bridal Ballerina Breakfast in London in April, with the pair accompanied by Sienna’s partner, Oli Green, 28.
It wasn’t Marlowe’s first foray into fashion; as she previously sat front row at Proenza Schouler during New York Fashion Week.
Back in 2015, Miller reflected on the profound impact of motherhood, telling The Observer: “I think having a baby really changed everything, if I’m honest.
“I think that’s where it began. The stakes are higher. You have someone that you want to be proud of you eventually.”
Just like her supermodel mum Heidi Klum, 21-year-old Leni is making a name for herself in fashion, landing major campaigns with Dior Beauty and GHD.
Born in 2004 after Heidi’s split from Formula One executive Flavio Briatore, Leni was later adopted by Heidi’s ex-husband, singer Seal, who also fathered her three younger siblings.
Leni often mirrors her mum’s style, recently teaming up with her for a bold, colourful cover shoot for Dutch Vogue in matching tailored suits.
Their joint Intimissimi lingerie campaign sparked online criticism, with some calling it inappropriate and “sexualised” – but Leni defended the shoot, calling it “an amazing day” and a moment she “loved” sharing with her mum.
The ‘apple’ doesn’t fall far from the tree when it comes to Gwyneth Paltrow’s 21-year-old daughter.
Actress and singer-songwriter Apple Martin has previously shown she has a talent for music just like her dad, Chris Martin, after helping to write Coldplay’s album Music of the Spheres last year.
Fans previously gushed over Apple’s uncanny resemblance to her famous mum, after the pair attended an event hosted by Goop, Gucci, and Elizabeth Saltzman in the Hamptons, New York.
Gwyneth split from Chris in March 2014, famously calling the break-up “consciously uncoupling.”

THEY say imitation is the highest form of flattery, and for celebrity kids it’s a must-have look.
But it hasn’t always been.
Remember when you were young and your mum used to dress you and your siblings, or worse the whole family, in matching gear for a family photo?
I wince at the flashback.
Back then it was considered a bit naff, but fast forward to today and it seems that every A-lister and their daughter is a clobber clone.
Style crowd
But forget the Eighties, when everyone would wear matching bright cable knits; or the Nineties, when co-ordinated nautical looks could be seen hanging in everyone’s hallway – these days twinsets are far more stylish.
You can be a doppel-glamour duo, like Amanda Holden and her daughter Lexi, who like to match their cut-out dresses, or Hells Angels, like Kim Kardashian and young North West, whose twinsets are made of leather.
You could take it to Heidi Klum and Leni’s extreme lengths and pair your pants.
But whatever you decide to do, if you want to be in with the style crowd you’ll need to be seeing double.
POP sensation Dua Lipa closed out her sold-out Dublin show with the perfect Irish celebration.
The One Kiss singer partied into the early hours of the morning in O’Donoghue’s pub surrounded by her family and famous pals.
Dua put on a spell-binding show to 80,000 screaming fans in the Aviva Stadium on Saturday night.
The chart-topper finished out her incredible sold-out stadium tour run in the iconic Dublin venue – and it’s safe to say she marked the occasion in style.
The 28-year-old and her crew descended on O’Donoghue’s pub after the show around 11pm for a night of pints, pizza and lots of dancing.
The Houdini singer had the time of her life as she successfully attempted to “split the G” on a pint of Guinness in seconds flat.
The rest of her team downed their pints of plain and cheered as they toasted to the star.
The British songwriter and her crew even indulged in Dublin‘s “award-winning” pizza, Bambinos.
Later, Dua and her pals danced the night away as a local Irish trad group played in the corner of the pub.
Dua’s Hollywood actor fiance, Callum Turner was by her side throughout the celebrations, as well as Disney star Dove Cameron and her Maneskin singer boyfriend, Damiano David.
The hitmaker posted a series of snaps of the wild night to her Instagram.
Dua and her dad sang their hearts out in one snap as they held up pints of Guinness.
The singer posed beside a dozen boxes of Bambino’s pizza as her friends munched on the delicious food.
Dua captured a number of smiling selfies in the popular pub, making to sure to get her pint in every snap.
The Grammy-award-winning artist even took photos of her crew members downing shots of baby Guinness.
Dua also shared a brilliant clip of herself and her fiancé Callum singing to Don Mclean’s American Pie as the whole pub joined in.
Sharing photos and videos of her night out with her almost 90 million followers on Instagram, Lipa wrote: “5 SOLD OUT STADIUMS IN A ROW!!!! ONLY ONE WAY TO CELEBRATE!!!! BY SPLITTING THE G!!!!!!”
Irish fans all flocked to the comment section to gush over Dua’s Irish bash.
Penny wrote: “Cannot deal with how iconic you are having a lock-in, in a Dublin pub immediately after a sell out stadium gig.”
Georgia said: “Congrats and slainte.”
While Anne added: “Good woman Dua.”
And Johnny remarked: “What can’t this woman do!”

DAMON HETA vows he wouldn’t get Premier League “burnout” because he worked 12-hour days as a roofer in Australia!
The Aussie admits breaking into the PDC’s top four Order of Merit is his big target as he has ambitions of playing in the prestigious PL.
World No. 10 Heta reached the semi-final of the US Masters last weekend but was knocked out by Nathan Aspinall despite averaging 104 and thumping in the big fish.
‘The Heat’ has been in good form this year as he won Players Championship 13 and made the final of European Darts Open.
Heta is confident burnout won’t hold him back if he gets a Premier League call-up — claiming the grind of the PDC schedule is easy after years of back-breaking work on roofs Down Under.
He told the Tops and Tales podcast: “Yeah, I’d love getting into that top four and the Premier League.
“I find myself pretty conditioned where I don’t think I would be one to be burnt out.
“Players talk about burnout and playing too much. But I practice pretty much four hours every day, two here and two there minimum — sometimes even more.
“I always look back and think, you know what I did? I did 12-hour days, six days a week, roofing.
“If I can’t chuck darts for 12 hours a day, you know what I mean? Because I can always compare it to back then.”

He added: “If I’m ever down about where I am or what I’m doing, I just think, you know what? I’ve come this far.
“I could be doing this or that. Man, I’m very lucky. I’m throwing darts for a living and I’m travelling.
“Even doing an exhibition — you get paid half decent to do an exhibition.
“People want to come see you for four or five hours to chuck some darts and have a bit of fun. Man, that’s insane.”
Former World Cup winner Heta boasts the fourth-highest checkout rate on tour at a tidy 43.13 per cent in 2025.
Heta will return to action next week on the ProTour at the Mattioli Arena.
TWENTY-year-old Cruz Beckham has given fans a peek inside his luxury Glastonbury tent after shelling out £9,000-a-night for the luxurious camp.
The son of David and Victoria Beckham ensured that he and girlfriend, Jackie Apostel, 29, were living the high life at the festival in one of the camp’s most expensive and private tents.
Sharing a slew of snaps from inside their tent – which closely resembled a A-list hotel room – it was clear that the pair had checked themselves into Camp Kerala.
This luxury camp includes Shikar tents which come complete with a luxury king-size bed.
These exquisite tents also come with sheepskin rugs as well as the option for your own private en-suite toilet and shower block.
Forking out for one of these tents starts at £8,225 with the price rising if opting for the en-suite extras.
This covers the cost for two people staying in the tent including their festival ticket entry.
Model and singer Jackie could be seen striking a pose inside the perfectly preened tent.
In another snap, the couple could be seen enjoying a breakfast in bed with their food served on a wooden slate – a far cry from the realities of being in one of the Somerset festival’s regular camps.
The pair appeared to be living it up in style across the full weekend.
Cruz and Jackie have been together since April last year — and Posh and hubby David appear to have none of the problems they do with their eldest son Brooklyn, 26.
He and wife Nicola Peltz, 30, are locked in a feud with his parents and missed David’s 50th birthday celebrations earlier this month.
But Cruz and Jackie were there — and even performed Dolly Parton classic Islands in the Stream at a family dinner.
Jackie appears to have been accepted into the Beckham clan as she spent Christmas with the family at their £60million waterfront mansion in Miami.
She also supported Victoria at her fashion show during Paris Fashion Week in September, and even wore her £990 cream satin cami gown to her runway show.
Jackie was previously part of the Brazilian girl band Schutz, and she gained more than one million plays on her first EP – Reformation a side.
UNLUCKY Wokingham runner-up More Thunder could be supplemented for the Group 1 July Cup at Newmarket while impressive Royal Ascot victor Merchant may well head to Glorious Goodwood.
That’s the latest news from William Haggas as he shuffles plans for some of his stable stars, although options remain on hold for Economics as he continues to recover from injury.
More Thunder has been an absolute revelation for Haggas, having been trained last term by the now retired Sir Michael Stoute.
Just a year ago this month, More Thunder was beaten at Chester over an extended 1m2f.
A year on, however, the son of Night of Thunder, owned by Saeed Suhail, has raced solely over 6f, scoring at Newmarket twice before coming from last to second – beaten a head – behind Get It in the Wokingham.
He would have won in another stride or two.
Haggas told me: “More Thunder could go to Ireland on the 20th for a Group 2 over 7f or he could be supplemented for the July Cup.
“We will look at the Group 1 over 7f at York as well.
“He was a bit far back and got tangled up in the Wokingham but ran very well.”
Merchant got a huge form boost over the weekend when Serious Contender, the horse he beat in the King George V Stakes at Royal Ascot, chased home Lambourn in the Irish Derby.
Rated just 90 at Ascot, Merchant will now head into Group races.
“The Gordon Stakes looks the most likely target for Merchant,” Haggas said.
“It’s possible he’s a St Leger horse. But all options are open.
“He could still be a King George contender, and what I can say is he won’t come out of that race at the next forfeit. So we will see.”
Last season’s monster Royal Bahrain Irish Champion Stakes victor Economics missed Royal Ascot through injury and has been absent since October of last year when defeated in the Qipco Champion Stakes.
Economics is going nowhere for the time being.
Haggas said: “As everyone knows he got an injury from which he is recovering but not quickly enough for us.
“We are missing big events like Royal Ascot and the Eclipse.
“I doubt he will be ready for the Irish Champion so we will be looking at later in the season.”
On a brighter note, Godwinson might be upped in class for the Group 3 Prix Messidor.
Haggas said: “He went up 5lb for winning the Lincoln which was a good prize and another 5lb for winning at Newcastle the other day which was much less money which is not ideal.
“But what can you do? I needed to run him and the going on the grass is too firm for him. He might well go to France.”
In other stable news, Haggas remains bullish about the talent of Lake Forest despite the colt beating only two home in the Criterion at York over the weekend.
Lake Forest had been brilliant in Australia back in November, taking the Golden Eagle at Rosehill in terrific fashion from Lazzat, himself a star at Royal Ascot.
“We ran Lake Forest too quick,” said Haggas.
“It was also not a track to come from behind from. It looked like there would be plenty of pace, but the other front runners left Quinault alone – although he did very well – which wasn’t good for us.
!Lake Forest could go for the Lennox at Glorious Goodwood or the Sussex.
!He could easily run second or third in a Sussex. He’s a good horse. He’s got a lot of ability.
!Remember the race he ran at Newmarket as a juvenile in a novice was awful (got beat at 1-3f). Then he came out and won the Gimcrack!”
