Cindy Crawford is a living legend in the fashion industry. She made a name for herself doing commercial jobs like her iconic Diet Pepsi commercial, while also landing high fashion gigs like walking for Versace. Her work landed her in the elite mix of the '80s and '90s supermodels, known as "The Big Five," along with Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Claudia Schiffer, Christy Turlington, and later, Stephanie Seymour.

Crawford and her daughter, Kaia Gerber, could almost pass as twins. The rising model has inherited her mom's genes, and has worked with brands like Calvin Klein, Marc Jacobs, Saint Laurent, and Versace.

Kaia's brother, Presley Gerber, is also making a name for himself in print and on the runway. In January 2018, Presley joined Kaia as the face of Calvin Klein Jeans' global advertising campaign and then walked for Balmain at Men's Paris Fashion Week 2018.
