The models taking after their celebrity parents, from Kobe Bryant’s daughter to Kamala Harris’ Miu Miu-wearing stepdaughter
- Heidi Klum’s 16-year-old daughter made her grand debut on the December 2020 cover of German Vogue, where she called the German supermodel her bestie
- Joseph Baena, son of Arnold Schwarzenegger, has more than 280,000 followers on his Instagram page, where he draws comparisons to his bodybuilding dad
Last week, Natalia Bryant, the 18-year-old daughter of the late basketball player Kobe Bryant, announced that she had signed with top talent agency IMG Models.
“I have always been interested in fashion since a very young age. I have a love for the industry and ever since I can remember I wanted to model. There is a lot to learn but I feel this is a great opportunity for me to learn and express myself creatively,” she wrote on Instagram.
Bryant is not the first celebrity daughter or son to enter modelling.
Blame it on nepotism or ascribe it to simple good genes – we’re not here to judge – the trend of celebrity kids chasing the limelight is still going strong.
Here’s a look at the latest wave of children of the rich and famous who are following in the footsteps of their parents.
Leni Klum
Sixteen-year-old Klum, the daughter of German supermodel Heidi Klum, made her grand debut on the December 2020 cover of German Vogue, in which she exchanged a tender moment with her mother.
“I feel like we’re besties and I tell her everything,” she told the magazine. Her father is Italian businessman Flavio Briatore.
Ella Emhoff
Like Bryant, she also signed a contract with IMG Models. On Thursday she made her catwalk debut at New York Fashion Week
Iris Law
The daughter of British actors Jude Law and Sadie Frost, 20-year old Law started modelling five years ago with a campaign for London brand Illustrated People. Since then, she has worked with top luxury labels such as Fendi and Loewe.
Her godmother is none other than top model Kate Moss.
Damian Hurley
His father is the late American businessman Steven Bing.
Joseph Baena
22-year-old Baena is the son of actor and former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and his former housekeeper, Mildred Baena.
While Baena is not a fledgling model, he certainly looks the part, and has become a bona fide influencer thanks to his Instagram posts of his workout routine and ripped physique, drawing comparisons to his bodybuilding dad.
Lori Harvey
Harvey is the daughter of television host Steve Harvey and fashion maven Marjorie Harvey. The 24-year-old has been in the news recently for her relationship with heartthrob Michael B Jordan, but Harvey is not new to the limelight.
She has walked the runway for Dolce & Gabbana alongside her mother, and has just dropped a size-inclusive loungewear collaboration with Naked Wardrobe.
