Having a supermodel as a mother comes with some serious upsides. These include, but are not limited to: a live-in catwalk coach, networking expert, and provider of an aspirational gene pool, all of which make closing shows and fronting campaigns as natural as stepping into mom’s statement-making shoes.
Sure, “nepo babies” are nothing new, but it makes sense that the world of modeling would lend itself particularly well to such a legacy, with the fashion world always abuzz when the torch is passed to a new generation. These aren’t just regular daughters, they’re super-daughters—and they’re out to prove that modeling is an inherited skill.
Here, a look at the young, up-and-coming models who get it from their mamas.

Welcome to the model-verse, Grace Burns. Daughter to Christy Turlington and filmmaker Edward Burns, she starred alongside her mother in a Carolina Herrera campaign this past spring, followed by a June runway debut at the British Vogue X LuisViaRoma’s show in Florence. The 19-year-old donned a white custom Victoria Beckham dress, black laced limbs, a slicked-back knot, and a coordinated red lip and mani moment—a ’90s chic combination that harked back to Turlington’s era of world domination.
