40 Celebrity Kids That Look Exactly Like Their Parents
The Hollywood gene pool is strong.
We all know someone who looks exactly like their mom or dad—after all, biology works like that. And while it's certainly not an unusual coincidence, it's a much bigger deal when our favorite celebrities have their own mini-me's. Click through to see our favorite celebrity kids who are the spitting image of their parents. The resemblances are seriously uncanny.
Chrissy Teigen and Luna Stephens
When John Legend and Chrissy Teigen welcomed their first child into the world, everyone noticed the resemblance between Luna and Chrissy. Chrissy often shares sweet videos of Luna on social media, and it looks like the toddler is taking after her mom with her sassy little personality.
Robin Wright and Dylan Penn
Another dream gene pool. Dylan Penn, whose parents are Robin Wright and Sean Penn, takes after her stunning mother Robin Wright. Dylan has taken up modeling, and most recently starred in a Rag & Bone campaign.
Christie Brinkley and Sailor Brinkley-Cook
Really, if you stood far away, you probably couldn't point out who was Christie and who was Sailor because they look like replicas of each other. The two have posed for a Sports Illustrated cover with Brinkley's other daughter, Alexa.
Gwyneth Paltrow and Apple Martin
Gwyneth Paltrow shared a photo of her daughter, Apple, on Instagram, celebrating her 13th birthday. The mother and daughter look insanely alike, and know how to pose the same way too. I mean, just look at that smize.
Heidi Klum and Helene (Leni) Samuel
Klum's daughter, Leni, is looking more and more like her every day. People have long thought the 15-year-old has had similar features to those of her mother, but in this photo of them—both with hair in buns—the resemblance is crazy.
Blythe Danner and Gwyneth Paltrow
While watching Columbo, an eagle-eyed Instagram user took a screenshot of Gwyneth Paltrow Blythe Danner. Gwynnie herself couldn't tell the difference, captioning her regram, "#isthatmeormymom."
Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise
Katie Holmes shared an Instagram of her daughter hanging in L.A. with a couple family members last year. Holmes also posted a photo of her 17-year-old self, and side by side, the two look like they could have been separated at birth.
Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise
Yep, they looked alike as toddlers, too. According to her Instagram caption, three-year-old Katie Holmes loved dressing up—just like Suri. Though she probably didn't do it with a $150,000 shoe collection.
Carol Minaj and Nicki Minaj
"She got it from her mama" never rang more true. Nicki Minaj hit the red carpet with her mother Carol at the BET Awards with their raven-black hair, honey skin, and pillowy lips.
Demi Moore and Rumer Willis
The 28-year-old Dancing with the Stars winner has no complaints when it comes to looking like her 54-year-old mom. "That moment when you realize you actually are becoming your mother #twinning #imnotmad," she wrote on Instagram. (For the record, we wouldn't be mad either.)
Kim Kardashian West and North West
It's all in those Kardashian genes. Kim posted this side-by-side image of her baby picture (on the left) and North West (on the right).
Dorothy Nyong'o and Lupita Nyong'o
The star showed off her resemblance to her beautiful mom on her Instagram. "Like mother (1983), like daughter (2015)," she captioned the pic.
Beyoncé and Blue Ivy
Not only is Blue Ivy the spitting image of her mom, but the mother-daughter pair bears a striking resemblance to Bey and her grandmother, as seen in this side-by-side Mother's Day Instagram post.
