Watching celebrity children grow up is endlessly fascinating for so many reasons. For one, we all kind of wish we were born into a famous family, amirite? But what's even cooler is seeing what kind of people those famous-from-the-second-they-were-born kids turn out to be. It's especially interesting to watch daughters grow up to look exactly like their famous moms.
Of course, they have fame and fortune at their disposal so it can be a bit easier to make all their hopes and dreams come. But the good news is that many of them seem to use their platforms for good. Some carry on the family tradition of getting into the entertainment industy whether it's acting, model, or singing, while others try their best to stay out of the lime light.
Either way, it's always fun to see what they're up to, especially when they give us major flashback vibes.
Here are 7 celebrity daughers remind us so much of their famous moms:
Suri Cruise
Suri Cruise, the daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, is hard to catch a glimpse of. Mom, Katie, 42, is careful not to post too many photos of her famous daughter on social media. Of course, there are a few fan accounts dedicated to her anyway — that's hard to escape.
When we do see Suri, it's hard to deny that the 13-year-old is a spitting image of her mom. When Katie posts pictures of her mini-me daughter, we can stop ourselves from doing a double-take! The two are a very close mother and daughter duo, but their resemblance is uncanny.
Katie has talked before about the relationship she has with her daughter. "I was happy to become a mom in my 20s," she told Elle UK. "It’s been nice that our ages fit… how do I put this? Every age that my child has been and my age at that time has been a good match. We kind of grew up together."
It's very apparent that these two are incredibly connected and it's sweet to see, especially because raising kids in Hollywood can be so tough. There might be something too Katie's efforts to try and keep Suri out of the public eye.
Apple Martin
Apple Martin is the daughter of Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow. 15-years-old, Apple was instantly famous upon her birth because of her celebrity parents. But her name was also big celebrity gossip at the time, too. Gwyneth may deserve from credit for starting the interesting name trend with the choice of "Apple." Now, it's much more common for celebrities to give off the beaten path names.
Now, a teenager, Apple looks so much like her beautiful mom. Gwyneth has to be careful about what she posts, though. All pictures of her daughter require Apple's approval.
When comparing Apple's picture to photos of Gwyneth, it's easy to see that the Apple doesn't fall far from the tree (major pun-intended). But looking at photos of Gwyneth from her teenage days makes it tough to tell them apart at all! This picture of Gwyneth looks so much like her daughter, it's almost freaky!
We all know the Goop director is a beauty and she loves to partake in healthy living, which certainly keeps her looking young. Naturally, her kids are going to be pretty good-looking, too. But how much Apple resembles her mom is something for the record books.
Emme Maribel Muñiz
JLo's daughter, Emme, looks so much like her talented mom. But she takes after her, too! The 11-year-old surprised everyone when she appeared on stage with JLo for the superbowl this year to perform. Her singing skills were absolutely killer and she stole the show.
For many viewers, it was the first time they'd seen Emme but it surely won't be the last. She definitely has a career in show business ahead of her. Of course, JLo has got to be the proudest mama. We're likely to see a lot more mother-daughter duets in the future!
JLo frequently shares family photos on Instagram, and why wouldn't she? She has one of the most adorable families in the world. After the superbowl, JLo shared a video of the behind-the-scenes moments leading up to Emme's halftime debut and fans loved seeing their super special bond.
It was clearly really moving for the singer to have that experience with her daughter. They have a very special relationship and singing together likely brings them even closer. Who wouldn't want JLo for a coach, after all?
Rumer Willis
Rumer Willis is the gorgeous daughter of Demi Moore and Bruce Willis. She takes after both of her talented parents in that she caught the acting bug. She's appeared in films like House Bunny and Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. She also caught the attention of ABC viewers when she performed on Dancing With The Stars back in 2015. She took home the coveted Mirror Ball trophy!
She's definitely a talented woman who is paving her own way. But it's hard not to fixate on how much she looks like her beautiful celebrity mom, Demi!
At 57 years old, Demi Moore is as beautiful now as she ever was. Still, when she posts throwback photos from her early acting days, the younger Demi is a spitting image of her beautiful and multi-talented daughter.
Demi seems to have been using her time at home lately to sort through old photos because she's been posting a bunch of pictures of her younger self lately. We certainly don't mind! It's fun to see the throwbacks and to see just how much she resembles her daughter, too. They could totally be twins!
Ava Phillippe
You can tell who Ava Phillippe's mother is just by looking at her. It's Reese Witherspoon, of course. Ava is the daughter of Reese, and her ex-husband, Ryan Phillippe. The couple divorced back in 2007.
As Phillippe has grown up, she's only looked more and more like her beautiful and talented mom. These days, it's pretty hard to tell them apart. Fans on Reese's Instagram page are always quick to point out how similar they look. Lately, Reese has been sharing more pictures of the two together, too, so we get to see the changes over the years. It seems like they are a very close duo. Reese is always making time for her look-a-like daughther, whether it's a lunch or a day on the slopes.
Reese's daughter has been very supportive of her mom's career, too. She shares loving posts on her own social media, shouting out to different projects her mom is working on. It's very sweet to see her publically supporting her mother like that. She's not embarassed by her at all! Well, at least not as far as we can tell.
That support definitely goes both ways. Reese recently shared about how tough it was to watch her girl get ready to go to school. On top of that, Ava picked the same college to attend that Reese once went to — Stanford!
Violet Affleck
The daughter of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner is already a beautiful young woman. At 14-years-old, Violet Affleck, the oldest of the two's kids, looks more and more like her hilarious and gorgeous mom. Sure, there's some Ben in there somewhere but it's hard not to see Jen all over her face, especially when she has on her cute glasses. Her mom has a pair just like them!
Jen avoids posting photos of Violet on social media. She also has said that she doesn't want Violet on Instagram just yet. It's probably a good move. Though technically, 13 is the age when kids are allowed to join social media, and many do it before that, Jen just doesn't see why it's necessary at this point.
Jen has such a great spirit and she really doesn't seem to age as a result, so that might be one reason why she looks so much like her young daughter. She's just so full of joy! Watching her Instagram is basically like watchin the film 13 Going On 30 on repeat because she's just like a big kid, which is a pretty great way to be, especially when you're a mom. Her youthful attitude probably helps her relate to her kids even more, especially her oldest child, Violet, with whom she is extremely close to. Their relationship is a really beautiful thing to see.
Kaia Jordan Gerber
It's gotta be nice to have a model for a mom, especially when that model is Cindy Crawford. That's the case for Kaia Jordon Gerber, the 18-year-old daughter of one of the most famous models on earth.
She doesn't just look like her famous mom, though. She takes after her, too, as she herself is also a model, as well as an established actress. Still we can't gloss over the fact that she looks almost exactly like Cindy –especially Cindy circa 1985. Their bone structure is identical!
Cindy has been a really big inspiration for her daughter, too, as far as her career goes. She helped guide her when she started modeling at the age of 16, which was the same age Cindy started her modeling career. It seems like Kaia was happy to take her moms advice when getting into a very tough industry and it's definitely helped give her a career a boost. Those cheekbones don't hurt either.
Since then, Kaia has modeled for Chanel, Saint Laurent, and Prada. The mother and daughter also got to walk together during the Spring 2018 Versace show, which was a really exciting experience for the both of them.
