12 Times Celebrity Children Wore Looks Inspired By Their Mothers' Iconic Outfits

12 Times Celebrity Children Wore Looks Inspired By Their Mothers' Iconic Outfits

Sometimes a fashion moment is so iconic, you're morally obliged to replicate it.

Better yet, when you're the child of a celebrity, there's every temptation to rifle through your famous parents' closets—and occasionally take your own modern-day version of one of their most iconic outfits for a spin.

Take, for example, Lily-Rose Depp emulating the effortless French style of her mother, singer Vanessa Paradis, or Elizabeth Hurley's son, Damien Hurley, paying homage to the Versace safety-pin dress that catapulted his mother to stardom.

Model-of-the-moment Kaia Gerber arguably took the cake when she attended her 18th birthday party in September 2019 wearing a Versace dress almost identical to one her mother, Cindy Crawford, made famous in the early '90s.

In any case, scroll down for every time famous children replicated one of their parents' most iconic looks.

Leni Klum and Heidi Klum

Heidi-Klum

At only 18-years-old, it seems that Heidi Klum's daughter Leni is only now just starting to realise the benefits of having a supermodel for a mother. Case in point: Leni's prom dress.

The emerging model borrowed Klum's strapless slip, one that she wore to a 1998 Comic Relief event, for her prom night. Leni posted the dress to social media with the simple caption "prom night in mamas dress".

Zahara Jolie-Pitt and Angelina Jolie

Rather than let her rack of red carpet-ready gowns collect dust in storage, Angelina Jolie decided to let her daughter's sport her once-iconic looks. This time, the honour fell upon Jolie’s daughter, Zahara Jolie-Pitt, while attending the premiere of her mother’s latest film, Marvel's Eternals. The 16-year-old stunned in her mother’s 2014 gold Elie Saab Couture gown that she wore to the Academy Awards.

Shiloh Jolie-Pitt and Angelina Jolie

Another of Jolie's daughters, Shiloh, also looks to have made a trip to her mother's wardrobe, after appearing at an Eternals red carpet event in her mother's black-and-white Dior gown that she wore on her 2019 press tour for Maleficent: Mistress Of Evil. But rather than simply rewear her former ensemble, the garment looks to have been altered to suit the 15-year-old, simply by lifting the hem to sit above the knee and by using the excess fabric to secure shoulder straps.

Rowan Francis Henchy and Brooke Shields

Brooke Shields' daughter made her mum very proud when she decided to wear her iconic 1998 Golden Globes dress to her prom. "I thought it was a special night when I was nominated for a Golden Globe and wore this dress in 1998, but nothing could have prepared me to see my daughter wearing it to her prom ❤️ proud mama!" Brooke wrote on Instagram. 

Kaia Gerber and Cindy Crawford

Celebrity mothers and daughters

For her 18th birthday party in September 2019, Gerber wore a re-vamped version of the iconic Gianni Versace leather dress that her mother, Cindy Crawford, wore to the MTV VMAs in 1992 (paired with equally huge hair, no less).

Charlotte Casiraghi and Princess Caroline

Celebrity mothers and daughters

For her star-studded wedding in June 2019, Monaco royal Charlotte Casiraghi wore a lace Giambattista Valli gown inspired by her mother, Caroline, Princess of Hanover's wedding dress.

Damien Hurley and Elizabeth Hurley

Celebrity mothers and daughters

For a Pat McGrath event in 2019, Elizabeth Hurley's lookalike son wore a safety-pin-adorned black suit by Versace, which was reminiscent of the revealing Versace gown that shot his mother to worldwide fame in the mid-'90s.

Georgia May Jagger and Jerry Hall

Celebrity mothers and daughters

Jagger has made a habit of wearing outfits worn first by her supermodel mother, Jerry Hall—here she is in 2011 wearing a body-con LBD similar to one her mother wore in 2000.

Crown Princess Victoria and Queen Silvia of Sweden

Celebrity mothers and daughters

In November 2018, Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden paid a sweet homage to her mother, Princess Silvia, by wearing the same dress she wore to a similar royal ball in 1995.

Lily-Rose Depp and Vanessa Paradis

Celebrity mothers and daughters

Depp often channels the style of her famous mother (and fellow Chanel muse) Vanessa Paradis. The 20-year-old actress is pictured here in November 2018, wearing a Chanel tweed dress in a similar style to the iconic Azzedine Alaïa piece that her mother wore to France's César Awards in 1994.

Tracee Ellis Ross and Diana Ross

Celebrity mothers and daughters

Black-ish actress Tracee Ellis Ross is arguably almost as much of a fashion icon as her famous mother, Diana Ross. In 2017, Ellis Ross directly channelled her mother's vibrant style with this sequinned Moschino gown, which was inspired by one of her mother's performance dresses from the 1980s.

Lourdes Leon and Madonna

Celebrity mothers and daughters

For an event in November 2018, Madonna's 22-year-old daughter Lourdes Leon channelled one of her mother's most iconic looks—a modern-day variation of Madonna's famous white tulle 'wedding dress', which she wore to the 1984 MTV VMAs.

Queen Letizia and Queen Sofia of Spain

Celebrity mothers and daughters

While not technically belonging to her biological mother, Spanish royal Queen Letizia wore a red dress in December 2018 that was originally worn by her mother-in-law, Queen Sofia of Spain, in 1980.
