Anwar Hadid and Presley Gerber both made their runway debuts this month for Moschino, the teens strutting their stuff in designer Jeremy Scott's signature standout suits.

But they're hardly the only celebrity sons—Anwar being the handsome offspring of Yolanda Foster and Mohamed Hadid and Presley the scion of supermodel Cindy Crawford and hubby Randy Gerber—who've been taking the fashion world by storm.

Actually, they're pretty late to this party. It isn't just celeb mini-me daughters following their famous moms into modeling anymore, and Presley, Anwar and the boys who blazed the trail ahead of them have been busy changing the business of male modeling for some time now.

Stars & Their Mini-Me Kids

Brooklyn & Romeo Beckham

With the world's Sexiest Man Alive for a dad and a pop star turned style icon for a mom, David and Victoria Beckham's kids have had a front-row seat to Fashion Week since they were in diapers. So it's no wonder that the eldest Beckham  boys were on the modeling track since before it was the thing to do, the brothers getting their start with Burberry at a young age.

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver's power genetics joined forces and made Patrick, who you've seen in Interview Magazine and modeling for Hudson Jeans and Tom Ford's Fall 2014 campaign.

 

Dylan Brosnan

Pierce Brosnan & Keely Shaye Smith's son was discovered by Saint Laurent's creative director, no famous-dad-strings attached, and the 19-year-old became the face of YSL Men's Permanent.

You knew that raffish squint looked familiar! Jude Law's son has appeared in British Vogue and walked the runway for DKNY.

Parents Daniel Day-Lewis and Isabelle Adjani parted ways years ago, but their son (a multihyphenate at birth!)—signed by IMG Models and a favorite among Karl Lagerfeld's go-to pretty faces—has both parents with him always in those intense eyes and bow-shaped mouth.

 

Jaden Smith

Sometimes Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith's son takes a break from waxing philosophic to be the gender-defying face of Louis Vuitton, deftly modeling womenswear for the iconic brand.

 

Tuki Brando

Marlon Brando's grandson (Tuki's mom was Tahitian model Cheyenne Brando) is the stunning face of Versace Menswear.

Stephanie Seymour's son followed mom into the family business, partnering with MAC and posing for the likes of Interview and Harper's Bazaar (and his brother Harry is no slouch either).

 

Jack Kilmer

Val Kilmer and ex-wife Joanne Whalley's son has a face for runway and print, having used his nice mug to multitask for Saint Laurent.

 

Dylan Lee

Saint Laurent picked Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee's younger son as the design house's new muse in 2016.

Supermodels: Then and Now

Max Irons

In addition to acting, the son of Jeremy Irons and Sinéad Cusack has smoldered for Macy's private label I.N.C., Mango and Burberry--and he's learning as he goes. In 2015 he made G.Q.'s list of 50 best-dressed Brits.

 

Louis Simonon

London calling—and ringing off the hook! The son of The Clash bassist Paul Simonon is a real looker who's modeled for AllSaints, Phillip Lim, Zadig et Voltair, Benetton, Prada, Diesel, H&M and more.

 

Quincy Brown

Sean "Diddy" Combs and Kim Port's son may have had a Super Sweet 16 and got his modeling start as a face of Dad's line Sean John, but he's been earning his own dough as a face of the streetwear line Popular Demand, and he walked in Naomi Campbell's Fashion for Relief fundraiser last year.

So many genetically blessed sons in the modeling mix—and you can bet there will be more to come!

And in the meantime, we've got sporting events, premieres, fashion shows, fundraisers and all other family-friendly red carpet events to scour for more likely candidates.
