Hollywood is stacked with leading ladies, from Carrie Fisher’s Princess Leia taking over the ’70s to Reese Witherspoon becoming a beloved ’90s movie star. 

After finding their own success in the industry, several big names have gone on to have their own children follow in their footsteps as actors, and we can’t believe the uncanny resemblance a few bear to their famous mothers. 

See the famous teen idols and their daughters who look exactly like them – including the mother-daughter duo who don’t personally see the alikeness.

Lisa Bonet

Lisa Bonet was just 16 years old when she landed the role of Denise on The Cosby Show in 1984. 

Along with her acting chops, the actress has become known for her carefree, bohemian style – and she has a daughter who has not only followed in her footsteps, but who is her carbon copy.

…and her daughter Zoe Kravitz

Zoë Kravitz, of Big Little Lies and The Batman fame, is the 37-year-old daughter of Lisa and her ex-husband, musician Lenny Kravitz. Side by side, the two look like they could be twins!

Along with seemingly taking style notes from her mum, Zoe starred in the 2020 series High Fidelity which was a reboot of the 2000 film of the same name which Lisa was in.

Carrie Fisher

The late Carrie Fisher became a household name when she took on the role of Princess Leia in Star Wars in the 70s. 

While the star sadly passed away in 2016, she was survived by a daughter who has made a name for herself in Hollywood. Find out who…

Carrie’s daughter is 33-year-old Scream Queens and American Horror Story star, Billie Lourd. 

The Star Wars actress welcomed her only daughter Billie in 1992 with American talent agent, Bryan Lourd. 

Billie has inherited her mum’s striking facial features and long locks. The young actress even stepped in as a body double for her late mother in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Billie’s face was digitally replaced with Carrie’s for a flashback scene of Princess Leia. 

“Billie was playing her mother,” Visual Effects Supervisor Patrick Tubach told Yahoo!. “It was a poignant thing, and something that nobody took lightly – that she was willing to stand in for her mom.”

Lea Thompson

Back to the Future made Lea Thompson just as much of a teen idol in the 80s as her on-screen son, played by Michael J. Fox. 

Now, her grown-up daughter with husband Howard Deutch has become a leading lady of the next Hollywood generation, acting alongside the likes of Robert De Niro and Gwyneth Paltrow. Any guesses who Lea’s lookalike daughter is?

…and her daughter Lily-Rose Depp

Vanessa’s lookalike daughter with actor Johnny Depp, Lily-Rose Depp, has taken up acting and modelling just like her famous mother. 

Lily bears an uncanny resemblance to her mother when she was younger, rocking the same beach blonde wavy hair and identical face shape. 

Just like Vanessa, Lily has aligned herself with Chanel, becoming a band ambassador when she was 16.

Reese Witherspoon

Name a more iconic blonde than Elle Woods herself. The Legally Blonde actress has been on the movie scene since the ’90s when she was a teen, and has become known for an impressive range of hits from Sweet Home Alabama to Big Little Lies. 

In 1999, she married her Cruel Intentions co-star, Ryan Phillippe and went on to have two children with him. Now that her daughter is all grown up and in her twenties, Reese often sparks comparisons to her…

Reese and Ryan’s 26-year-old daughter Ava Elizabeth Phillippe has also gone into acting, starring in Netflix’s Ransom Canyon and Doctor Odyssey

Along with sharing the same job as her parents, Ava looks a lot like her famous mum. However, the two apparently can’t see the resemblance. 

During a 2022 interview with Today, hosts Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager pointed out Reese and her daughter Ava looked like “twins”. 

“She and I don’t see [the resemblance] that much,” Reese replied.
