17 Celebrity Mother and Daughter Duos Who Could Easily Pass for Twins

Prepare to see double!

There is an old wives' tale that says babies always look more like their fathers so that they can be sure the baby is theirs. Of course, we know this is utter rubbish because many children resemble their mothers much more.

The truth is, a baby's appearance is all down to their genetic makeup. Although a baby is made up of DNA from both parents, some genes are dominant while others are more suppressed.

Celebrities are, of course, no exception to this rule. There are many celebrity children who look almost identical to one of their parents, and we love to see them!

We have 17 celebrity mother-daughter duos who are perfect examples of dominant genes. If you've ever seen Cindy Crawford's daughter, Kaia, you will know precisely what we mean.

Kaia could pass for a clone of Cindy! And what about Madonna and her daughter, Lourdes?

Lourdes looks exactly like her mother did back in the '80s! Genes are pretty incredible when you stop and think about it.

While there are also plenty of examples of father-son duos who look alike, we think these celebrity mothers and daughters deserve their own showcase. Scroll down, enjoy, and prepare to see double!
