40 Celebrity Mothers and Daughters at the Same Age
From Reese Witherspoon’s partner in crime Ava Phillippe to Cindy Crawford’s mini-me Kaia Gerber, it’s easy to see the resemblance between these celebrity mother-daughter pairs now—but it’s even more striking when they were the same age. From their identical looks to what point in their careers they were, we’re giving you the full rundown.
At 22 years old, Madonna about to make it big as a singer. The Queen of Pop’s daughter with Carlos Leon, has rubbed shoulders with Hollywood’s biggest A-listers her whole life, went to the University of Michigan for four years, and is now emerging as a fashion “it girl,” recently scoring her first major campaign for Miu Miu.
Kyra Sedgwick had already been married to Kevin Bacon for several years and established herself as an actress in Hollywood by the time she was 26. As for her daughter, her recent role in 13 Reasons Why put her on the map to follow in her mother (and father’s) footsteps.
When Courtney Love was 17 years old, she was just getting her start in music and chasing fame. As for Frances Bean Cobain, Courtney’s daughter with the late Kurt Cobain, she’s been in the spotlight since birth.
At 19, Vanessa Paradis was well known as a French musician, actress, and fashion model—in fact, she got her big break at 14 with the song “Joe le taxi.” Lily-Rose, Vanessa’s daughter with Johnny Depp, also got a young start at 15 in the movie Tusk. Now, the 20-year-old is a well-known model.
Candace Cameron Bure had been working in television for 11 years by the time she was 18. The child star’s oldest daughter, Natasha, got her first acting credit at 13 years old, but music is her main passion. She appeared on The Voice when she was 18, the same age she is in this photo.
After finding success as a model, at 23 years old Kim Basinger started pursuing a career in acting (she eventually starred in L.A. Confidential and Batman). Her daughter, Ireland, with ex-husband Alec Baldwin is a highly sought-after model.
When Blythe Danner was 46 years old (the age Gwyneth Paltrow is now!), she had been a working actress for 21 years. By the same age, Gwyneth has been working for 30 years. But it’s fair to say Gwyneth had a leg up on her mom, given the careers of her parents (her father is the late producer and director Bruce Paltrow).
At 22 years old, Kennya Baldwin was still two years away from marrying her husband, Stephen Baldwin. Today, 22-year-old Hailey Bieber is one of the most famous faces in the world due to her modeling career and marriage to Justin Bieber last year.
At 35 years old, Kris already had four kids at home. As the same age, Kim had two—but has since had two more.
Kim Kardashian was part of a family that rubbed elbows with the rich and famous when she was 5 years old (her late father’s best friend was O.J. Simpson), but her childhood was still likely more normal than her daughter’s. By 5, North West has already graced the pages of Vogue—twice.
Debbie Reynolds had been an actress for 24 years by the time she turned 40, with leading roles in classic movies like Singin’ in the Rain and The Unsinkable Molly Brown. But Carrie had reached a star status in her own right by 40, having scored the role of Princess Leia in the Star Wars franchise.
At 26, Carrie Fisher had already starred in two Star Wars movies as Princess Leia. As for Billie Lourd, Carrie’s daughter with Bryan Lourd, she’s starred in the TV series Scream Queens and appeared in multiple Star Wars installments as Lieutenant Connix.
Lisa Bonet’s role as Denise Huxtable in The Cosby Show skyrocketed her to fame, and her relationship with Lenny Kravitz got her loads of attention too. Her daughter with Lenny, Zoë, worked hard to be viewed as a serious actress in her own right, most recently starring in the hit HBO series Big Little Lies.
Melanie Griffith started modeling at just nine months old and debuted on screen as Delly Grastner in Night Moves at 19. Her daughter with Don Johnson is also an actress. Dakota became a household name for her role as Anastasia Steele in the Fifty Shades of Greyfranchise.
At 27 years old, Demi Moore had already had a few notable roles in cinema, including as Debbie in About Last Night… and as Jules in St. Elmo’s Fire. Rumer, her oldest daughter with Bruce Willis, has followed in both of her parents footsteps and by 27 had 31 acting credits to her name.
In her mid-30s, Phylicia landed the role of Clair Huxtable on The Cosby Show and her life was forever changed. Her daughter with Ahmad Rashād is also an actress, but she’s better known for her theater work, primarily her portrayal of Lynn Nottage in the 0ff-Broadway play Ruined, which won a Pulitzer Prize.
Jerry Hall was already a world renown model by 24 and had made her transition into acting with the ’80s film Urban Cowboy. As for Georgia, Jerry’s daughter with Mick Jagger, her modeling career began at 16 and she’s recently moved on to fashion design.
Reese Witherspoon was already a working actor at 18, but had yet to star in most of the movies she’s known for today. As for Ava, turning 18 meant graduating from high school and pursuing modeling. One of her biggest breaks to date has been starring in Rodarte’s Fall 2018 collection lookbook.

At 28 years old, singer-songwriter Minnie Riperton was in the prime of her career thanks to her 1975 single “Lovin’ You.” The age of 28 was similarly significant for Maya, who was cast in Saturday Night Live this year.
By the time Goldie Hawn and Kate Hudson were both 37 years old, they’d led similar careers. Both were known for their charming lead roles in romantic comedies.
At 30 years old, Meryl Streep wasn’t the Meryl Street we know today. She had just made her big screen debut two years prior. Her daughters Mamie (left at 32) and Grace (center at 29) are also actors, while Louisa (right at 24) is pursuing a modeling career.
