Side-By-Side Pics Of Nepo Babies And Their Look-A-Like Moms

It takes a lot to make it in the entertainment industry, but if you're lucky enough to be one of the nepo babies in Hollywood, you already have one foot in the door. Although some folks try to distance themselves from their families to get proper working cred, being tied to a famous name certainly has its perks, especially if you look just like your parents. For example, it's easy to see how Kaia Gerber, who has her own book club, became one of the most sought-after models. With Cindy Crawford's genes, the 5'10 stunner is easily cover-girl material.

While it may not always be easy living under their moms' shadows, many nepo babies have made a name for themselves, purely based on their talents. Still, it's hard not to compare these starlets to the ones who birthed them when the resemblance is so strong, with some even playing their mom's younger self on television. We just love a good full-circle moment.

If you were around during the late '80s, you were probably a total stan of Lisa Bonet and Lenny Kravitz's relationship. The grungy rocker and bohemian actor made the coolest pair ever, and made an even cooler daughter together. It's clear that Zoë Kravitz inherited both of her parents' good looks, but the "Big Little Lies" actor is definitely her mom's twin. From her striking bone structure to her demure vibes, the apple did not fall too far from the tree.

Cindy Crawford was the it-girl in modeling during the '80s and '90s, so it's no surprise that her daughter Kaia Gerber is making a name for herself now. The statuesque brunette began her career at just the age of 10 when she appeared in a Versace photoshoot, and hasn't stopped since. Looking at Gerber's face on glossy magazine covers is just like taking a time machine back 40 years, as she rocks the strong eyebrows her mom is known for. And, you can't deny her fierce fashion sense, either.

Maya Hawke has totally transformed since she burst into Hollywood, and looks more like her famous actor mom, Uma Thurman, every day. The two share striking, deep-set blue eyes, a prominent nose, and a captivating smile, with the "Stranger Things" star becoming one of Gen Z's biggest breakout stars. Having Thurman and Ethan Hawke as her parents is one thing this nepo baby doesn't take for granted, and Maya told People, "I'm very grateful for the fact that they made it so easy for me to do the thing that I love."

When presented with the chance to play your real-life mom's character from back in the day, you take it. "Young Sheldon" star Zoe Perry looks so much like mom Laurie Metcalf that it made sense she was cast as a younger Mary Cooper, who Metcalf played in "The Big Bang Theory." Although a nepo baby, Perry still auditioned for the part. "We have lots of similarities when it comes to our voices and mannerisms, and I'm lucky that I have that at my disposal," she told The Hollywood Reporter.

Some think Willow Smith looks like her father, but Jada Pinkett Smith shared a throwback pic of herself that had fans doing a double-take. "Who dat? All I know ... is that she's come a long, long wayyyy," the "Red Table Talk" host wrote. A fan replied, "Wow!! I had to take [a] second look I thought it was Willow." Indeed, the two share the same almond-shaped eyes and strong jawline, and we wouldn't be surprised if they shared clothes as well, as they both rock a cool-girl style.

Kate Hudson has had a striking transformation over the years, but there's no denying that she's a replica of Goldie Hawn from her earlier acting days. Aside from their toothy grins, the mom and daughter are known for their blond hair, which is often worn in the same loose, beachy waves. And, the similarities don't stop there, either. Hudson's bubbly personality totally mimics Hawn's, making her perfect for all the rom-coms she's starred in, just like her famous mama. There's no denying the DNA runs strong with this family.

Meryl Streep has one of the most recognizable faces in Hollywood, and her daughter, Mamie Gummer, is embracing the same features she's inherited. The resemblance is truly uncanny, from their distinct noses to identical smiles, which made it easy to cast them as different versions of the same person in the 2007 film, "Evening." Although she's a nepo baby, it was Gummer who got the part first, with her telling UPI, "She had this whole life and, luckily, we just resemble each other a lot. It was nice for the sake of continuity."
