Hollywood’s biggest celebrities are conquering fashion weeks in the form of their offspring.

At the recent shows, the children of famous stars sat front row – a few even walked the runways to wild applause last year.

Iris Law, daughter of actor Jude Law, has appeared in numerous adverts. She made her runway debut at Miu Miu’s Autumn/Winter 2020 fashion show, and has been a face for Burberry and Dior beauty campaigns.

In 2017, actor Johnny Depp’s daughter, Lily-Rose Depp, walked the Chanel runway in Paris. She was spotted sitting front row at the couture show just this week.

Lourdes Leon, the daughter of mega popstar Madonna, is recognised as a firm fashion week fixture. She is seen modelling for brands like Burberry and Mugler.

Leon’s appearance at the Paris menswear week last month caused quite a stir, as she was wearing a sheer outfit leaving nothing to the imagination.

Lila Moss, on the other hand, is following in her supermodel mother Kate Moss’ footsteps.

Lila has been in campaigns for Miu Miu, Fendi and Marc Jacobs. She has done high-fashion modelling for couture houses, as well.

Deva Cassel, daughter of actress Monica Bellucci, made her debut at the Dolce & Gabbana show in 2021 (where she is also the brand’s muse).

Cassel went on to appear on the cover of fashion magazines the likes of Vogue and Elle. She landed an ambassadorship role with Dior just last year.

Other big names in modelling like Kendall and Kylie Jenner have famous associations too. The two sisters share the aura of the the Kardashian-Jenner clan (everyone in the fashion world surely knows of Kim Kardashian).

Henry Gunther Ademola Dashtu Samuel, son of model Heidi Klum and musician Seal, made his modelling debut in Paris last week.

Beyonce’s nephew, Daniel Julez J Smith Jr, walked his first runway at New York Fashion Week last year.

It all shows that having a famous parent (or close relative) works to help give you a leg up in the style industry – though, having the looks still matter most at the end of the day.
