They've been papped since they were newborns, grown up amid the trappings of fame and fortune and racked up more frequent flyer points in their childhood than most of us amass in a lifetime. The celebrity offspring of model, actor or muso parents inevitably have a head start in life with their gorgeous looks. But these kids also ooze their own unique brand of confidence and cool, and are rapidly making a name for themselves.
They're strutting the catwalk, gracing magazine covers, fronting perfume and cosmetic brands, scoring acting roles and building big Instagram followings. They act as both nostalgia triggers for their parents' generation and trendsetters for their own. We have the rundown on today's ultra-hot celeb daughters.
LILY-ROSE DEPP
3 million Instagram followers
Lily-Rose's parents are French singer, model and actress Vanessa Paradis and actor Johnny Depp, so it's hardly surprising the 18-year-old is a winner in the beauty stakes. Brought up in Paris and Los Angeles with her brother Jack, it wasn't long before the bright lights of the catwalk beckoned. She first met Karl Lagerfeld in the Chanel studio with her mother when she was just eight, and has been a postmillennial muse for him.
She debuted for the brand in a 2015 couture show, has appeared in three of its major advertising campaigns, and is the face of its No. 5 L'Eau fragrance. Also a budding actor, Lily-Rose has played small roles in two American films but her break came with the 2016 French movie Planetarium, which also starred Natalie Portman.
Her personal style has that effortlessly cool French quality – she's also fluent in the language – and she's not afraid to push boundaries, too. At a recent promotional event, she wore nothing underneath a Chanel-embellished tweed cropped jacket teamed with leather trousers. Throw in a perfect pout and she's nonpareil in the style stakes.
HAILEY BALDWIN

The most well-known offspring of the four Baldwin brothers – so far, anyway – is Hailey, daughter of actor Stephen. The fresh-faced 20-year-old is part of the glam squad of new-wave models that includes Kendall Jenner and the Hadid sisters.
She has appeared in the pages of Vogue and LOVE magazines, walked for heavyweight fashion houses including Tommy Hilfiger, Moschino and Dolce & Gabbana, and her wholesome allAmerican looks won her advertising campaigns for Ralph Lauren and Guess. Quite the entrepreneur, Hailey has also been involved in several collaborations, including a make-up line with the Australian brand ModelCo.
Home schooled and raised a Christian evangelist, she posts the occasional Bible quote on her Instagram account, which has an astounding 10 million-plus fans following her designer ensembles. Hailey favours up-to-the-minute runway looks. Her casual style is polished for an off-duty model, as she prefers heels over sneakers, with perfect make-up and her blonde hair expertly styled. No doubt this helped her land the prestigious gig of global ambassador for L'Oréal Professionnel.
DAKOTA JOHNSON

A career in Hollywood beckoned from the start for Dakota Johnson. Her parents, Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson, are both acting heavyweights and her grandmother Tippi Hedren was a screen idol. Dakota's first role was alongside her mother in 1999's Crazy in Alabama and she has since made a name for herself with accomplished roles in The Social Network, Black Mass and, most famously, the raunchy Fifty Shades franchise.
Her style trajectory took off with her acting career, fashion commentators applauding both her red-carpet choices and her credible street style. Dakota has a confident take on casual chic, favouring tailored jackets with jeans and Converse trainers or pretty summer dresses with boaters. She's also not afraid to take sartorial risks, such as emulating the Oscar statuette at the 2017 Academy Awards in a luminous gold Gucci dress. The 27-year-old's other favourite designers include Saint Laurent and Dior, and there is always a touch of old Hollywood glamour about her on the red carpet, perhaps inherited from her stylish grandmother.
LILY COLLINS

Lily Collins – model, actor and author – is the 28-year-old daughter of English singer Phil Collins and his second wife, Jill Tavelman. Since her first acting role at the age of just two for the BBC show Growing Pains, she's starred in a handful of Hollywood films including The Blind Side and Mirror Mirror, and last year received a Golden Globe nomination for Rules Don't Apply .
She's also no slouch at writing, having penned articles for the likes of Seventeen and Teen Vogue, and has recently released a book of autobiographical essays called Unfiltered. Lily also studied broadcast journalism at the University of Southern California. But despite her impressive credentials, she receives the most persistent attention for what she wears, regularly appearing on best-dressed lists.
She takes a feminine approach to fashion, opting for lady-like silhouettes and high-glamour gowns by the likes of Elie Saab and Marchesa for the red carpet. Day to day, she often picks denim, styling her jeans with boots, chic coats and the obligatory pair of oversized sunnies.
AMBER LE BON

Amber had a double genetic advantage with rock-star father Simon, of Duran Duran, and supermodel mother Yasmin. After inheriting her mother's caramel skin, bold brows and striking bone structure, it's no surprise the 27-year-old chose to follow the same career path.
The two have even modelled together – the age-defying Yasmin recently appearing on a cover of Harpers Bazaar Taiwan and in a campaign for beauty brand Sisley with her daughter. Amber has also walked the runway for Chanel, graced the pages of Tatler, Italian and Spanish Vogue, and her luscious locks have seen her appear in advertising campaigns for Pantene and Redken.
Her father's musical genes have come into play in the shape of her DJ sets at parties for the jet set in places such as Ibiza and Barcelona. Refreshingly avant garde in her fashion and beauty choices, Amber's long hair was various shades of pink for most of 2016. Her brave fashion choices are a riot of flamboyant colour and bold designs from designers such as Roksanda and Moschino … No prizes for guessing who she gets that from!
GEORGIA MAY JAGGER

One of four children from the marriage of rock'n'roll icon Mick Jagger and model Jerry Hall, Georgia May – with her father's notorious pout and mother's mane of golden locks – is every bit the English It Girl. Following her mother's famous leggy lead, the stunning 25-year-old has used her edgy style DNA in modelling for the likes of Chanel, H&M;, Miu Miu, Versace and Vivienne Westwood.
She is also the face of beauty brand Rimmel London as well as being a regular on the London party circuit, often attending events with one of her famous parents. What else explains her fame despite her pedigree? Perhaps it's because she looks as if her sense of style has been transplanted from another era, bringing to mind Jane Birkin.
Or perhaps it's just her range of sartorial choices. She mixes styles – punk, glamour and English rose – with ease and appears not to follow trends. Whether she's vamping in a black strapless minidress and heels at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party or rocking op-shop chic running errands in London, Georgia Maye always lives up to her glamour-puss status.
IRIS LAW

Most teenagers who work in the school holidays don't manage to squeeze in modelling stints for Teen Vogue, a Miu Miu lookbook and a major Burberry campaign. But then most teenagers aren't Iris Law, the 16-year-old daughter of Jude Law and Sadie Frost.
With Kate Moss as her godmother – Iris was bridesmaid at Moss's wedding to Jamie Hince in 2011 – the fashionable life has always been close to her. But she has the looks to make it on her own terms – her perfect alabaster skin, striking blue eyes and cupid's bow lips won her a Burberry contract last year as the global face of the brand, in her biggest triumph yet.
Her style is that of a fashion-forward teen, mixing bomber jackets and tracksuits with high end accessories from Louis Vuitton and Gucci. How lucky Gen X are that the standard teen uniform of hoodies, jeans and sneakers is considered high fashion these days (although we are talking a Vetements hoodie and Supreme hightops in her case). With her interests extending to photography and painting, Iris Law is certainly one to watch.
KAIA GERBER

As Cindy Crawford's daughter, 15-year-old Kaia Gerber enters the world of professional modelling with giant stilettos to fill. But the younger child of supermodel Cindy and her businessman husband Randy Gerber is off to a flier with campaigns for Miu Miu and Alexander Wang and covers for Teen and French Vogue already under her belt – not to mention an impressive contract as the face of Marc Jacobs Beauty.
With her artfully tousled mane and megawatt smile, she's the mirror image of a young Cindy and the two are often photographed "twinning" at events and fashion shows. Kaia's teen-centric style, teaming denim and simple black tees with a side of Californian beach babe (the family live in Malibu), is becoming more adventurous.
Take New York Fashion Week, where she wore black leather leggings and combat boots with a fluffy faux fur pink coat and newsboy cap. As her style evolves, the stunning teen will have no problems fulfilling the role of fashion plate, with a long line of designers vying to dress her and her mother's vintage gems at her disposal.
