When children are young, they may resemble either parent, a perfect combination of both, or look like themselves; nevertheless, these celebrity mothers and their daughters have won the gene jackpot and appear exactly like themselves. These mother-and-daughter couples give the impression that they were truly separated at birth, based not only on their hair appearance but also on the shape of their eyes. These local and worldwide celebrity parents are the winners of the genetics competition, and they have given birth to children that are miniature replicas of themselves.
Cynthia Shange and Nonhle Thema
Cynthia Shange resembled her daughter Nonhle Thema when she competed in the Miss World pageant in 1972 after being crowned Miss Natal and entering the pageant. In 1970, Cynthia entered the modelling world after winning the title of Miss Natal at the age of 23. Nonhle, who is now 40 years old, has not given up seeking and is becoming a television industry veteran, much like her mother.
Reese Witherspoon and Ava Phillipe
The Hollywood actress Reese Witherspoon has won the battle of the sexes when it comes to genetics since both of her children look exactly like her. It is her daughter Ava who most closely resembles her mother in appearance. Even at 45, Reese has retained Ava's uncanny resemblance. Reese first appeared on television when she was the same age as Ava is today, which is 21, and back then, Reese went by the name Ava.
Pearl Thusi and Thando Mokoena
One of the most popular mother-and-daughter teams in South Africa is comprised of Pearl Thusi and Thando Mokoena. The fact that they share such a striking resemblance makes it endearing. Pearl was elected Miss KZN when she was 17 years old, and since then, she has established herself as a popular actress, TV and radio broadcaster, and model. Thando is presently 14 years old, is appearing in certain advertisements alongside her mother, and remarkably resembles her real-life twin sister.
Kris Jenner and Kourtney Kardashian
Kris is hardly a stranger to the public eye, but the decade of the 1990s proved to be unusually eventful for her. Kourtney, the middle child of Kris Jenner and Robert Kardashian, appears to have inherited her mother's good looks more than her two older sisters, Kim and Khloé. Kris was a successful businesswoman and "momager" when she was in her early 40s. At the time, she looked very much like her daughter Kourtney, who is now 42 years old.
Khanyi and Khanukani Mbau
The mother and daughter combo is not only taking over television screens, but they are also twinning as they are in the process of doing so. Khanukani is now in his teenage years, and both of them are having a wonderful time dressing up and experiencing life together. Khanukani is a cast member in the reality show Mbau Reloaded, which her mother produces. Khanyi's kid, who is still growing up and looks just like her mother did when she was the same age, resembled her mother even more when Khanyi was younger.
Andie MacDowell and Rainey Qualley
Andie MacDowell, an actress for many years, and her daughter Rainey Qualley is featured in a new ad campaign for Coach just in time for Mother's Day. The campaign features Andie MacDowell and Rainey Qualley. Model Paloma Elsesser, together with her mother and grandmother, artist Ciara, and her three children, are also featured in the endearing family-oriented advertising campaign. Photographer Alessandro Simonetti took the advertising campaign in the Hollywood Hills, and it depicts the couple modelling summer dresses and shoes from the Coach brand. She told Vogue that this chance drew her closer to Qualley because MacDowell was frequently gone on film or television productions. "My girls and I have always liked fashion together," MacDowell said in the interview with Vogue.
Cindy Crawford and Kaia Gerber
Omega watches were featured in the first advertising campaign that supermodel Cindy Crawford and her daughter Kaia Gerber appeared in together. Cindy Crawford was 52 years old, and Kaia Gerber was 16 years old. (For the previous twenty years, Crawford had served as the spokesperson for the company.) The couple seems strikingly similar as they stand next to one another in the black-and-white advertisement taken by Peter Lindbergh. Both are seen wearing white sleeveless tanks and have beachy hair and natural make-up. Husband Rande Gerber is the brand ambassador for the company. However, they were not included in the campaign that Crawford was a part of. Gerber had only started modelling a year before this session, but she swiftly earned a reputation for herself, and she is well on her way to being as big a name on the catwalk as her iconoclastic mother was.
Valerie Morris-Campbell and Naomi Campbell
If you have ever pondered the origin of supermodel Naomi Campbell's stunning good looks, you need only turn to her model mother, Valerie Morris-Campbell. Valerie was also a model. Alongside actors Matt Smith and Kristin Scott Thomas, musician M.I.A., an artist and photographer Juno Calypso, who also photographed and directed the campaign's pictures and film, the three featured together in Burberry's Festive Campaign in 2018. The campaign was shot and directed by Juno Calypso. The fashionable couple is seen in the photographs wearing black blazers and white shirts that complement each other. In 1993, both of them walked the runway for Mugler, and in 2010, they did it again for a charity event in London. This is not the first time that the two have modelled together; in 1993, they did it for Mugler.
Isabella Rossellini and Elettra Rossellini Wiedemann
Actress, model and filmmaker Isabella Rossellini photographed for jewellery brand Men in 2018 alongside her daughter Elettra Rossellini Wiedemann, a model and a food blogger. Isabella Rossellini is one of the most renowned figures in the entertainment industry. Rossellini can be seen in the photographs taken by the photographer Paola Kudacki, wearing a white shirt underneath a black blazer and holding Wiedemann, who is also wearing a black top, in her arms. "The enduring bond of mother and daughter embodies the values that Men seek to promote: sustainability and a powerful, lasting connection between the past, present, and future," Roy Sebag, the founder of Men, said in a press statement. "Men seek to promote these values because we believe they are essential to the future of our world."
Pat Cleveland and Anna Cleveland
Pat Cleveland and her daughter Anna Cleveland Von Ravenstein, who are virtually indistinguishable from one another, appeared together in Lanvin's summer campaign for 2015, centred around mothers and daughters. (An interesting tidbit about the world of fashion is that Jeanne Lanvin founded the company in the first place so that she could design garments for her daughter.) Violetta is some of the models featured in the eccentric advertising campaign photographed by the similarly eccentric photographer Tim Walker. She paved the path for other models of colour, like Beverly Johnson and Naomi Campbell, and she is still modelling to this day. Additionally, she and her daughter have been featured in advertisements for Marc Jacobs and Zac Posen together.
Iskra Lawrence and Wilma Lawrence
Aerie's swimsuit advertisement for Mother's Day in 2018 included models Iskra Lawrence and her mother Wilma, actress Yara Shahidi and her mother Keri, and athlete Aly Raisman and her mother, Lynn. Other mothers featured in the campaign were Yara Shahidi and her mother, Keri. Aerie came up with the idea for the ad after conducting a poll among its clientele and discovering that the majority of respondents cite their mothers as their most important role models. In the ad photo shoot that was not edited, the Lawrence sisters, both models, appeared on the beach wearing identical cutout bikinis matching pink and orange patterns. In particular, Lawrence has gained a reputation for being body positive because of her posts on Instagram, where she has remarked things like "I got it from my mother!" about the Aerie ad. Put the physical aspect out of your mind; I'm referring to all the principles and values that my mother ingrained in me.
Ashley Graham and Linda Graham
The model included herself and her mother, Linda, in a 2018 advertisement for her swimsuit brand, Ashley Graham x Swimsuits for All, promoting body acceptance and diversity in its models. In the breathtaking photographs, the couple enjoys a day at the beach in Morocco while wearing colourful swimwear that matches each other. In addition, the campaign contains a film that is narrated by Linda, in which she tells her daughter, "I taught you to be confident, bold, and fearless, and I am so proud of the woman you are now." Linda says this to her daughter in the video. Graham stated the following in her own Instagram post in which she shared the video: "Thanks to my @themamagraham for teaching me how to be the confident lady I am today."
Alessandra Ambrosio and Anja Mazur
When she was only four years old, Anja Mazur posed and along with her model parent, Alessandra Ambrosio, who has been a Victoria's Secret Angel for a very long time, in London Fog's Spring 2013 but instead Fall 2012 campaigns. Although she is not really a full-fledged model just yet, Alessandra Ambrosio has been a Victoria's Secret Angel for a very long time. These campaigns were for the brand's spring and fall collections, respectively. Mazur can be seen in several images wearing a polka-dot trench coat and holding an umbrella that is the same height as her, while her mother wears a skirt, trench, handbag, and accessories that are all coordinated to match. Ambrosio had this to say about her sister to People magazine: "I'm proud of her. It's very humorous for me as a mother, and I adore it when my kid takes all of the attention. She also cautioned that Mazur was already an expert at walking a runway so that we may look at a future supermodel.
Lucie de la Falaise and Ella Richards
In a video that accompanied the article, they competed in a flower-arranging contest. They discussed the contentious nature of their relationship, namely the contrast between the competitive spirit of Richards and the laid-back attitude of de la Falaise.
Diana Ross and Tracee Ellis Ross
Diana Ross has never been afraid to experiment with daring looks during her career. Her daughter Tracee has inherited her mother's talent for successfully pulling off daring colours, patterns, and big, stunning hair. These ladies frequently experiment with colour and texture while putting together their elegant outfits.
Leslie Mann and Maude Apatow
It would appear that Maude has inherited her mother's fondness for prints since she has displayed this affection on the red carpet on several occasions. These ladies usually appear put together while still having fun, thanks to their habit of wearing structured items in bright colours.
Melanie Griffith and Dakota Johnson
In addition to their amazing resemblance, this mother-daughter duo has a tight friendship. However, even though her mother can't bear to watch much of the series, Dakota devoted a sequence in "Fifty Shades Darker" just to her mother. Don Johnson's daughter, Dakota, has followed in her family's footsteps by pursuing a career in acting. Her grandmother, Tippi Hedren, was an Alfred Hitchcock star and appeared in numerous of his films.
Goldie Hawn and Kate Hudson
You're free to refer to them as the Golden Girls if you want to. Goldie Hawn and her daughter, Kate Hudson, have a striking resemblance in their facial features, bone structure, and captivating grins. They're also great friends and a continuous source of support for one another, making them the undisputed mother-daughter power couple in Hollywood. Plus, they're both dynamos on the big screen for comedic roles.
