Growing up with a paparazzi-magnet of a mother or father can’t be easy, especially if the kids are the types to shun cameras and try to remain as anonymous as humanly possible (good luck with that).
We feel their pain, but, truthfully, we’re more partial to celebs’ seeds who welcome the glitz and glamour—when they’re of the female persuasion and undeniably sexy, of course. Today, we just wanted to compliment some beautiful young’ns who’ve followed in their notable parents’ footsteps.
Get ready to thank some actors, singers, and other fame-holders for giving us the 50 Hottest Celebrity Daughters.

50. Gwyneth Paltrow
Famous Parent(s): Bruce Paltrow, actor; Blythe Danner, actress
Birthdate: 9/27/1972
Occupation: Actress/singer
Gwyneth Paltrow is the daughter of Blythe Danner, a respected actress probably best known today for playing Robert DeNiro's wife in the Meet The Parents movies, and Bruce Paltrow, the late film and television director/producer who created late '70s high school basketball series The White Shadow (major props for that).
As a parent, Gwyneth may be raising famous offspring herself; someday we may see Apple and Moses in the movies. No, not the fruit or the Biblical character, those are her kids' names.
Gwyn made the news a couple of years ago for reciting some of the lyrics to "Gangsta, Gangsta" by N.W.A on a British talk show. It's always good to have a down-ass chick on your team and Paltrow, apparently, fits the bill (you can't spell Gwyneth without G, right?).
Before those crazy Ice Cube quotations, the wife of Coldplay's Chris Martin put it down with Cee-Lo and Huey Lewis. She even portrayed an alcoholic cowgirl crooner in the movie Country Strong. She definitely loves music, and we definitely love that about Gwyneth.
49. Riley Keough
Famous Parent(s): Lisa Marie Presley, singer/songwriter
Birthdate: 5/29/1989
Occupation: Model/Actress
With rock 'n' roll royalty flowing through her blood, pretty girl Riley Keough is on the verge of making a major splash on the big screen. Being the daughter of Lisa Marie Presley (and former stepdaughter of Michael Jackson and Nicolas Cage) means, of course, she's the grandchild of Elvis and Priscilla Presley. But the former teen model has no plans on pursuing a music career.
Instead, she set her sights on acting, and made her film debut as Marie Currie in The Runaways. Last year, she played the lesbian werewolf(ish) lover of Juno Temple (daughter of director Julien Temple) in Jack and Diane, but the most exciting thing on Riley's resume won't be here until 2014: Mad Max: Fury Road.
48. Brooke Hogan
Famous Parent(s): Hulk Hogan, professional wrestler
Birthdate: 5/5/1988
Occupation: Reality tv star/singer
Brooke Hogan's papa, The Hulkster, can crush your skull like a pumpkin with his bare hands. Heck, she looks like she could do the same with her thunderous thighs. Nevermind that, though. What wrestling position do you want to put her in? Don't act like you've never thought about that before.
47. Norah Jones
Famous Parent(s): Ravi Shankar, musician
Birthdate: 3/30/1979
Occupation: Singer/songwriter/musician
Any woman who performs duets with Willie Nelson and Andre 3000 is a special kind of woman. And, without a doubt, Norah Jones is that kind of woman. The child of Ravi Shankar, the late internationally-known Indian sitar player, and concert promoter lady Sue Jones, who raised Norah by herself, Norah is the nice, quiet type, despite the fact she sold over 30 million albums last decade. Her voice is sweet, as is her demeanor. NoJo she doesn't get overly sexy ike many other female musical artists. She's like a pretty, rare flower.
46. Katherine Schwarzenegger
Famous Parent(s): Arnold Schwarzenegger, actor; Maria Shriver, journalist
Birthdate: 12/13/1989
Occupation: Author
Her parents' publicized marital problems aside, the beautifully curvy member of the Kennedy clan has a lot going for her. An articulate public speaker, the positive-thinking USC college student authored a book about self-esteem titled, Rock What You've Got: Secrets To Loving Your Inner And Outer Beauty from Someone Who's Been There and Back, which hit book shelves last year.
45. Jemima Kirke
Famous Parent(s): Simon Kirke, musician
Birthdate: 4/26/1985
Occupation: Actress
This Girls girl is one of the hot ones in Lena Dunham's coven, playing the worldly Jessa Johansson. She has her troubles like the other characters, but that British accent makes you think she has her ish together, truly an attractive quality in the Girls context.
Jemima herself has her own ish together, and is actually a married mom of two.
44. Mira Sorvino
Famous Parent(s): Paul Sorvino, actor
Birthdate: 9/28/1967
Occupation: Actress
Not every "hot celebrity daughter" is an Academy Award winner, so, in that regard, Mira Sorvino is in a class all her own. Her father, Paul Sorvino (a.k.a. Paulie in Goodfellas) is a no-nonsense Italian-American gentleman whom we highly respect so there's need to go overboard with all the talk about Mira's incredible desirability. No, sir. None of that. So take a look and click on the next chick.
43. Zelda Williams
Famous Parent(s): Robin Williams, actor
Birthdate: 7/31/1989
Occupation: Actress
Initially, we wondered if Robin Williams named his kid after the beloved princess in the video game Legend of Zelda, but we wonder no more—she was! A tomboy growing up, Zelda is now a fetching young woman who is still quite athletic, citing rock climbing as one of her favorite hobbies.
The well-spoken and idealistic actress has done a string of independent films over the last few years, and even though she's been in one movie with her famous papa (2005's House Of D), they only had one scene together. Zelda is another up-and-comer trying to make it on her talents and not her surname, which we can always appreciate.
42. Jordan Ladd
Famous Parent(s): Cheryl Ladd, actress
Birthdate: 1/14/1975
Occupation: Actress
Jordan Ladd is the daughter of a Charlie's Angel, and not just any Angel. Her hot mom is Cheryl Ladd, who successfully replaced Farrah Fawcett (R.I.P.) at a time when Fawcett ruled the world. With that kind of family history, it's only natural that Jordan would enter the entertainment industry herself. Her resumé is highlighted by turns in solid horror flicks like Cabin Fever, Death Proof, and Grace, which was about a creepy dead baby who drank blood. But enough about dead infants.
This petite, 5-foot cutie pie had breast reduction surgery when she was 16 and still had plenty left over. Another fun fact: She looks amazing in a bikini just like her mom did back in the day.
41. Montana Fishburne
Famous Parent(s): Laurence Fishburne, actor
Birthdate: 8/17/1991
Occupation: Porn Star
Also known as Chippy D, the seed who broke Morpheus' heart is the controversial offspring of actor Laurence Fishburne, who has appeared in Apocalypse Now, Boyz N The Hood and The Matrix. Inspired by the Kim K. sex tape, the adult film starlet made her debut in Phattys, Rhymes & Dimes 14, performing with Lloyd Banks look-a-like Brian Pumper. While Mr. Fishburne is understandably upset, we are too...at B. Pump's "rap songs" he includes in his blue movies. Simply awful.
40. Briana Evigan
Famous Parent(s): Greg Evigan, actor
Birthdate: 10/23/1986
Occupation: Actress/dancer
The star of Step Up 2: The Streets, Briana Evigan is a double-threat, taking on both acting and dancing duties.The flexible brunette has shaked that thing in music videos for Flo Rida, T-Pain, and Linkin Park, but she has also made the transition to acting in feature films.
Briana's papa, Greg Evigan, was on the sitcom My Two Dads in the late '80s, but a decade before that, he was in the must-see series BJ and The Bear.
39. Lauren Harris
Famous Parent(s): Steve Harris, musician
Birthdate: 7/6/1984
Occupation: Singer
Iron Maiden remains one of the most influential heavy metal groups of all time, led by bassist Steve Harris, who founded the British band with the lovable zombie Eddie as their mascot. Through the years, Harris has brought his family on tour, including his oldest daughter Lauren, who took her first steps at nine-months-old backstage at a show in Japan way back in 1985.
Flash forward to the present day and Lauren has blossomed into a lovely lass who, like her dad, is a hard rocker. Singing since she was nine, the independent vocalist got her start playing nearly empty bars, opting not to bank on her father's fame. The hard work paid off as eventually she and her band were able to build a respectable fan-base. According to one fan site, her MySpace page received four million hits leading up to the release of her 2008 debut album, Calm Before The Storm.
Lauren, who looks splendid in skintight jeans, has since opened up for her father's group on many occasions, giving fans one more reason to love Maiden.
38. Cosma Shiva Hagen
Famous Parent(s): Nina Hagen, musician
Birthdate: 5/17/1981
Occupation: Actress
You might think Cosma Shiva has a strange name. Well, it's nowhere near as strange as the boundary-pushing, risk-taking musical antics of her wonderfully weird mom, the one-and-only Nina Hagen, an avant-garde New Wave punk artist who makes Lady Gaga look like Celine Dion.
Cosma, who speaks four languages, wasn't only christened with an out-of-this-world name, but with brilliant looks as well, her pouty lips being especially appealing. Her freakishly awesome mama named a song after Cosma shortly after she was born, and you can hear her baby-talk in parts of it.
Real talk: Cosma grew up to be quite a babe.
37. Kimberly Stewart
Famous Parent(s): Rod Stewart, musician
Birthdate: 8/21/1979
Occupation: Socialite
Kimberly, the daughter of Rod Stewart, the man who brought the world "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?," and his modeling 'n' acting ex-wife Alana Stewart, has dabbled in everything from acting to fashion design to charity work. In 2011, Kim gave birth to Delilah, Benicio del Toro's baby, although the two were not (and still aren't) a couple.
36. Allison and Francesca Eastwood
Famous Parent(s): Clint Eastwood, actress
Birthdate: Allison, 5/22/1972; Francesca, 8/7/1993
Occupation: Allison, actress; Francesca, actress/reality TV star
It's hard to think of having Clint Eastwood as a dad, isn't it? He seems to jump from loner badass (Outlaw Josey Wales, Dirty Harry) straight to angry grandpa (Gran Torino, Republican National Convention 2012). He doesn't lend himself to scenes of domestic bliss. We're not commenting on his real-life parenting abilities—we don't know about them—but it must have been tough asking him to borrow the car on a Friday night. Although maybe not as tough as telling him you're posing for Playboy (which Allison did in 2003).
These days, the Eastwood offspring in the spotlight are Francesca and Morgan (who is just 16, so she doesn't actually get to be on this list), who are on Mrs. Eastwood & Company.
35. Bijou Phillips
Famous Parent(s): John Phillips, musician
Birthdate: 4/1/1980
Occupation: Actress/model/singer/socialite
Born on April 1, Bijou Phillips is no fool. She is stupid fly, though. This girl never takes a bad photo; every angle is her good angle. She wasn't always "good," however. Bijou, whose papa was The Mamas & The Papas' folk-rock singer John Phillips and whose mom was model Genevieve Waite, went through a crazy phase where she was partying and getting into trouble more often than not.
Phillips has since settled down, though, as well as acted in a shitload of movies, some of them known (Almost Famous; Hostel: Part II) and some of them under-appreciated (Black and White; Bully). She even released an album called I'd Rather Eat Glass in 1999.
34. Sydney Tamiia Poitier
Famous Parent(s): Sidney Poitier, actor
Birthdate: 11/15/1973
Occupation: Actress
It's difficult not to know who Sydney Tamiia Poitier's father is, since they basically share the same name. Sidney's seed is Bahamian/Lithuanian-Canadian, a caramel-skinned cutie who followed in daddy's actor footsteps, seemingly unfazed that her dad is a celebrated show business trailblazer.
Sydney has landed some pretty interesting TV gigs, such as Joan Of Arcadia, Veronica Mars, and the Knight Rider remake (which sucked, yes). But she is no doubt best remembered for her lively role as the naughty troublemaker Jungle Julia in Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof.
33. Shayne Dahl Lamas
Famous Parent(s): Lorenzo Lamas, actor
Birthdate: 11/6/1985
Occupation: Reality TV star
Shayne Lamas isn't shy. The extroverted daughter of the Latin soap star/action hero Lorenzo Lamas, and granddaughter of old school actor/director Fernando Lamas (who inspired Billy Crystal to create the '80s SNL character who couldn't stop saying, "You look mahvelous"), has made it her mission to stay in front of the cameras. And that's not a bad thing, considering she's very easy on the eyes.
The platinum blonde was on (and actually won) the 12th season of The Bachelor, although that particular love rendezvous didn't work out and she ended up breaking things off with her castmate. Shayne returned to TV screens on the E! reality show Leave It To Lamas, which follows her and the fam as they keep it 100% Lamas, meaning Shayne stays looking "mahvelous" whenever the spotlight is on her.
On April 18 2010, Shayne met Nik Richie of TheDirty.com, and the two were married eight hours later. They have one child, and were last seen on the second season of the VH1 series Couples Therapy.
32. Kate Hudson
Famous Parent(s): Goldie Hawn, actress; Bill Hudson, musician
Birthdate: 4/19/1979
Occupation: Actress
It's a bit of a bummer that bad-ass Kurt Russell is not Kate Hudson's biological father, because, come on, who wouldn't want to have Snake Plissken as a dad? Goldie Hawn's child was actually conceived with musician Bill Hudson.
Hudson, as we all know, is as bubbly as Goldie when she was when she made all them movies with Chevy. In addition to her outgoing personality, she's also taken after her own Almost Famous character, shacking up with two rock 'n roll frontmen (Chris Robinson of the Black Crowes and Matthew Bellamy of Muse).
31. Emma Roberts
Famous Parent(s): Eric Roberts, actor
Birthdate: 2/10/1991
Occupation: Actress, singer
Emma Roberts has pretty people in her family. Dad Eric Roberts is a handsome man and all, but really, when your aunt is Julia Roberts, you hope you can grow up to look just a smidgen like her.
She is most famous for the Nickelodeon series Unfabulous and various kid-friendly movies, but that could change with a trio of big-girl movies on the horizon in 2013.
30. Dakota Johnson
Famous Parent(s): Melanie Griffith, actress; Don Johnson, actor
Birthdate: 10/4/1989
Occupation: Actress
The excitement of Dakota Johnson's cinematic breakthrough still lingers in the air. Brilliantly cast as the co-ed in the red Stanford panties whom Justin Timberlake wakes up next to in The Social Network, she made the most out of a small role (and small sized underwear). The daughter of actors Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith (and the granddaughter of actress Tippi Hedren), Dakota appeared last year in the big screen adaptation of 21 Jump Street, the TV cop show starring Johnny Depp that debuted two years before Dakota was born. In the fall, her sitcom career got underway on Ben and Kate (she played Kate). In January, Fox announced it was canning the series, which may not be such a bad thing, as there are many more institutions of higher learning jockeying to put her in their boyshorts. If they have any school pride at all.
29. Rae Dawn Chong
Famous Parent(s): Tommy Chong, comedian
Birthdate: 2/28/1961
Occupation: Actress
Rae Dawn Chong's papa just might be the chillest father on this list. We're referring to Tommy Chong, of course, the trailblazing comedy legend who once served nine months in prison for selling bongs on the Internet. But let's focus on his enticing multiracial daughter Rae, who had the '80s on lock; she was in Beat Street, yo!
Whether she was a sexy, animal-skin-wearing cave woman in Quest for Fire, getting her Spielberg on next to Oprah in The Color Purple, watching Arnold decapitate motherfuckers in Commando, or giving her future (ex) husband C. Thomas Howell the gasface for being in blackface in Soul Man, Rae Dawn Chong has it all.
28. Ivanka Trump
Famous Parent(s): Donald Trump, busieness magnate, television personality
Birthdate: 10/30/1981
Occupation: Model/heiress/businesswoman
No matter how annoying her dad, real estate tycoon/political-pain-in-the-ass/Hair Club president Donald Trump, gets, we will always enjoy looking at his daughter, Ivanka, the bright girl destined to go from the runway to the boardroom (she is Executive Vice President of Development & Acquisitions at The Trump Organization).
The part Czechoslovakian (from mother Ivana's side) blonde does share a lot of her father's views, so watch out when she gets to his age. But for now, she's got a lot of the male population fired up.
27. Amber Le Bon
Famous Parent(s): Simon Le Bon, singer; Yasmin, model
Birthdate: 8/25/1989
Occupation: Model
New Wave music sensation Duran Duran may have had their biggest hits in the '80s, but lead singer Simon Le Bon, along with his stunning (and socially conscious) model wife Yasmin, produced one of today's hottest numbers in daughter Amber.
The dime piece supermodel has gained international fame, but remains a bit wholesome in interviews, which makes her quite the charming lass. The leggy 5' 10" English Amber, with her striking green emerald eyes, has a touch of Iranian exoticness thanks to her mum, who continues working in front of the camera, so you know Amber comes from a blessed gene pool and will be looking good for years ahead.
26. Bryce Dallas Howard
Famous Parent(s): Ron Howard, actor/director
Birthdate: 3/2/1981
Occupation: Actress
Who knew Richie Cunningham's daughter would turn out to be hot? But then, who knew Opie Taylor would turn out to be an award-winning director? The point is, you can't judge a book by its cover or a starlet by her dad. Like Mira Sorvino and Liv Tyler, Bryce thwarted her father's genes and turned out far more attractive than anyone would have guessed.
She's also a solid actress, with career highlights that include two M. Night Shyamalan movies, 50/50, Spider Man 3, and The Help.
25. Hoku and Kea Ho
Famous Parent(s): Don Ho, singer
Birthdate: Hoku, 6/10/1981; Kea, unknown
Occupation: Singer
Hoku Christian Ho is the biggest Disney star to never blow up. At the start of the aughts, she was cranking out sugary pop tunes like "Another Dumb Blonde," "How Do I Feel," and from the Legally Blonde soundtrack, "Perfect Day." But just as things were warming up, she took a hiatus from the industry. Famous or not, this sprightly surfer girl from Hawaii has an enchanting presence and owes her unique look to a melting pot of multicultural Euro-Polynesian flavor; Hoku is the daughter of background singer Patti Swallie and the late, magical entertainment king Don Ho, the seventh of Ho's 10 children. Count your lucky stars that she comes back to the business in a major way.
Meanwhile, if you just can't bear to be without a hot Ho girl, there's good news: Hoku's younger half-sister, Kea Ho, is a smokin' hot model who designs swimsuits and models them herself. She's already been featured in Maxim and Playboy.
24. Lily Collins
Famous Parent(s): Phil Collins, musician
Birthdate: 3/18/1989
Occupation: Actress
You know that Phil Collins song "In the Air Tonight," about that guy who could have saved that other guy from drowning, but didn't? Well, that's not important right now. What is important at the moment is discussing Phil's surprisingly fine offspring: Lily Collins.
Collins appeared alongside Academy Award winner Sandra Bullock in The Blind Side, and her schedule has been busy ever since. After starring in 2012's Mirror, Mirror, in which she played Snow White opposite Julia Roberts as the Evil Queen, she's leading the next big teen franchise, The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones.
23. Dominik Garcia-Lorido
Famous Parent(s): Andy Garcia, actor
Birthdate: 8/16/1983
Occupation: Actress
Dominik Garcia-Lorido may not be as suave as her papi, Andy Garcia, but that's not an insult at all. Nobody, and we mean nobody, is as suave as Andy Garcia. However, Dominik is absolutely an attractive young lady, who, in interviews, doesn't seem the least bit show-bizzy, which is definitely a big plus.
The long-haired Cuban darling co-starred with her dad in the well-received independent film City Island, playing a stripper with some serious pole trick skills. She's currently appearing on Magic City, on the Starz! network, playing a housekeeper with dreams of being a stewardess. No, not a "flight attendant," a stewardess— the show is set in 1959 (and the airline is Pan Am).
22. Gia Mantegna
Famous Parent(s): Joe Mantegna, actor
Birthdate: 4/17/1990
Occupation: Actress
Fresh-faced Gia is one to keep an eye on. The 22-year-old, who looks much younger than her age, was on the TeenNick network's Gigantic, a scripted show about kids of famous movie star parents. And, this year alone, Gia has five films slated for release, including Empire State and The Frozen Ground.
Of course, in real life, Gia's old man is the distinguished character actor Joe Mantegna. Miss Mantegna is Italian and Czech, and soon everybody's going to be checking for the doe-eyed darling with dark, smoldering looks who you can tell will only get hotter with time. Stay tuned.
21. Katie Cassidy
Famous Parent(s): David Cassidy, actor/singer
Birthdate: 11/25/1986
Occupation: Actress
If we've learned anything in the last two million years, it's this: If you want to increase the chances of having an attractive child, impregnate a model. It certainly worked well for '70s teen idol David Cassidy, a.k.a. the Justin Bieber of his era (a.k.a. Keith Partridge on the popular 1970s sitcom The Partridge Family), when he and his model spouse Sherry Williams hatched what would become a rather fetching girl.
Katie, a former high school cheerleader, has kept hers and the viewing public's spirits up by staying busy both on television (the recent Melrose Place reboot and Gossip Girl) and on film (she starred the horror remakes When a Stranger Calls, Black Christmas, and A Nightmare on Elm Street).
The actress currently appears on the CW show Arrow, based on the Green Arrow comic book characer, as Dinah Laurel Lance. This is a promising development; in the comics, Dinah becomes Black Canary. Katie's character has yet to don the spandex and fishnets, but give her time. We haven't even finished season one.
20. Elettra Rossellini Wiedemann
Famous Parent(s): Isabella Rossellini, actress
Birthdate: 7/26/1983
Occupation: Model
Elettra Rossellini was destined to be beautiful. No, seriously. Having the classic Ingrid Bergman as a grandmother and the alluring Isabella Rossellini as a mother made it so. Such a lineage (adding some Swedish genes to a woman seems to drastically help in the beauty department) meant the odds were favorable that Elettra would become a model, and she did just that, beginning with an ad campaign with photographer Bruce Weber.
When not modeling or answering a gazillion questions about her famous family tree, Rossellini also does considerable charity work. In 2012, Elettra got hitched to James Marshall.
19. Brooklyn Sudano and Amanda Sudano
Famous Parent(s): Donna Summer, singer
Birthdate: Brooklyn, 1/5/1981; Amanda, 8/11/1982
Occupation: Brooklyn, actress/singer; Amanda, singer/model
The late Donna Summer, the "Queen of Disco," had a big hit in 1979 with "Hot Stuff (I Want You Back)," which happens to be somewhat descriptive of her smokin' daughter, Brooklyn, whom she had with songwriter/producer Bruce Sudano.
The breathtaking Brooklyn has a background in singing and dancing (and was even her high school's valedictorian), but is most known for her stint on TV's My Wife and Kids. She also has a gorgeous sister, Amanda, who's in a musical group with her lucky-ass husband. They call themselves JOHNNYSWIM, they've released two albums—Bonsoir and Good News (2010) and Home (2011)—and we guess they like for their name TO BE SHOUTED.
18. Eva Amurri
Famous Parent(s): Susan Sarandon, actress
Birthdate: 3/15/1985
Occupation: Actress
If it's indeed true that women eventually turn into their mothers, then Eva Amurri is going to stay fine for a long, long time. Although she's stated in the past that she doesn't think they look alike, there's no doubt this is Susan Saradon's daughter, as the two women do bear a resemblance, especially the defined eyes, nose and lips.
Following in her mom's chosen profession, the half-Italian and buxom Eva gave us all something to smile about when she portrayed an exotic dancer on the third season of the Showtime series Californication. We saw a lot of her—essentially all of her—in that nude-tastic role, but sightings have been rare since, with her highest-profile project being That's My Boy, which you didn't see. Or saw, and wished you hadn't.
17. Bria Murphy
Famous Parent(s): Eddie Murphy, actor
Birthdate: 11/18/1989
Occupation: Model
Eddie Murphy has been making people laugh for a long time. He's also been making a lot of babies—eight of them last time we checked. His eldest daughter Bria, with ex-wife Nicole, is a model like her mom and has been passed down her mama's tremendously-in-shape svelte figure. In 2010, B became the new global brand ambassador for Dark and Lovely products, definitely a good look for the aspiring actress who comes off seeming like she's quite chill.
16. Rosanna Davison
Famous Parent(s): Chris de Burgh, musician
Birthdate: 4/17/1984
Occupation: Model
Rosanna was the subject of an '80s song by her famous daddy—no, he wasn't in Toto (who did the "Rosanna"). He was Chris de Burgh, who released "For Rosanna" in 1986, the same year he scored his biggest hit with, "Lady in Red." His two-year-old daughter Rosanna would grow up to become Miss Ireland 2003 and then win Miss World 2003. Nine years later, she's lady in the nude, posing for German Playboy to promote vacationing in Mauritius.
15. Sonam Kapoor
Famous Parent(s): Anil Kapoor, actor
Birthdate: 6/9/1985
Occupation: Actress
This Bollywood babe originates from a fam with strong ties in India's film industry. In fact, you may recognize her dad, actor Anil Kapoor. He was the talk show host in Slumdog Millionaire who wrote wrong answers on the mirror. And he portrayed Kamistan President Omar Hassan in Season Eight of 24.
But enough about dad. The slender, raven-haired Sonam has seductive eyes and walks the line between Daddy's Little Princess and sexy temptress. She's also not afraid of flashing her claws. According to the gossip machine (also known as the Internet), Sonam got into some beef with Aishwarya Rai, one of India's biggest celebrities, over a slight at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival that saw Ash baller-block Sonam from doing a red carpet entrance. So, in response, Sonam sonned her by making some snarky comments about her rival's age. How do you say "Meeeooowww" in Hindi?
14. Theodora and Alexandra Richards
Famous Parent(s): Keith Richards, musician
Birthdate: 3/18/1985 (Theodora) and 7/28/1986 (Alexandra)
Occupation: Models/DJs
It seems like Sir Mick ain't the only bloke in the Rolling Stones who can procreate some hotties. Guitarist Keith Richards repped for us girl-watchers with his fun-loving daughters Alexandra and Theodora, both of whom he produced with acclaimed model Patti Hansen.
In 2010, slinky Alexandra posed for French Playboy, showing the world that craziness does indeed run in the family, as her pa was notorious for some wild behavior back in his glory days. Theodora was busted in 2011 writing grafitti on a convent wall; in her possession were found marijuana and "another controlled substance."
When they're not busy being highly-paid models, both the Richards girls can be found DJing various exclusive, fancy schmantzy parties full of the jet set crowd.
13. Daisy Lowe
Famous Parent(s): Gavin Rossdale, musician
Birthdate: 1/27/1989
Occupation: Model
While not quite the household name here in the U.S.A., British model Daisy Lowe is well-known in her native country. The daughter of fashion designer Pearl Lowe and Gavin Rossdale, the lead singer for that '90s band Bush, Daisy has pretty much been a model her entire life, her first gig being when she was just a baby.
She would pick it up again as a teen and never look back, eventually becoming a top model. When we say "model," we mean a real one who sashays on runways the world over and appears on the cover of Vogue. We're talking fashion, not T&A, people. That is, until 2011, when she showed her T in Esquire and her T&A in Playboy. Cute as a button and free in spirit, Lowe is still reaching career highs in the industry.
12. Liv Tyler
Famous Parent(s): Steven Tyler, singer
Birthdate: 7/1/1977
Occupation: Actress
There's a special place in the "Hot Celebrity Daughters Hall of Fame" for Liv Tyler just like there's a spot for her dad, Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, in the Rock 'N' Roll Hall of Fame.
It seems like only yesterday when a teenaged Liv Tyler (whose mom, Bebe Buell, was a singer and Playboy Playmate) appeared in the music video for Aerosmith's "Crazy" alongside Alicia Silverstone. Since she was jailbait back then, we, of course, waited until she turned 18 to really start noticing noticing her. And how could you not? Her porcelain skin, pouty lips and feline allure make her mesmerizing to watch.
In The Lords Of The Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, she made you want to make mad love to an elf princess, and she also made 2008's not-so-incredible The Incredible Hulk bearable. Now those are some superpowers.
11. Frances Bean Cobain
Famous Parent(s): Kurt Cobain, musician; Courtney Love, musician
Birthdate: 8/18/1992
Occupation: Model/artist
Francis Bean has done some modeling here and there but seems more intent on pursuing art as a career. Her first show is scheduled for this month with the L.A. popup gallery Dar Dark Science.
10. Allison Williams
Famous Parent(s): Brian Williams, news anchor
Birthdate: 1987 or 1988
Occupation: Actress
This just in, breaking news tonight out of the tri-state area: NBC Nighty News anchor Brian Williams' daughter is super hot. She can sing (have you heard her take on the Mad Men theme song?) and she's funny (see her FunnyorDie "Will and Kate: Before Happily Ever Affter" clips and HBO's Girls).
9. Kim Kardashian
Famous Parent(s): Robert Kardashian, Lawyer; Kris Jenner, television personality
Birthdate: 10/21/1980
Occupation: Socialite
You do know who Kim Kardashian is, don't you? She's a very attractive celebrity daughter (her late pops was a lawyer to the stars, and was on OJ Simpson's "dream team") who has a genius for making something out of almost nothing. From a sex tape with Ray J to (at last count) four million different reality series to Kanye's impending babymama-hood, how does she do it?
8. Vanessa and Angela Simmons
Famous Parent(s): Rev Run, rapper
Birthdate: Vanessa, 8/5/1983; Angela, 9/18/1987
Occupation: Reality TV stars/fashion entrepreneurs; Vanessa, actress
The daughters of Joseph "Reverend Run" Simmons, of Run-D.M.C. fame, are blessed with elegant looks that have come to the forefront as they've matured before our eyes. Vanessa and Angela charmed us as teens on MTV's Run's House, and then on the spin-off Daddy's Girls.
Together, the sisters run Pastry, a fashion brand that started with footwear and has expanded to clothes and accessories. Apart from reality TV, Vanessa is pursuing acting, while Angela looks to become a media magnate with her teen magazine, Angela's Rundown.
7. Paulina Gretzky
Famous Parent(s): Wayne Gretzky, pro hockey player; Janet Jones, actress
Birthdate: 12/19/1988
Occupation: Singer/model/Tweeter
Our "Hot Complex" star planned on a career in music, and managed to get a song onto Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County. All well and good, but that show's been off the air for six years. She's most notable today for tweeting racy party photos that get hockey fans all twitchy. Her pop, known as "The Great One" for his superhuman hockey abilities, is said to be less than pleased.
6. Miley Cyrus
Famous Parent(s): Billy Ray Cyrus, musician
Birthdate: 11/23/1992
Occupation: Singer/actress/pop icon
Not since the shamelessly perverted countdown to the Olsen Twins' 18th Birthday has a tween caused so much hullabaloo. Now street legal and engaged to actor Liam Hemsworth, Miley Cyrus has actually been spending the last few years shedding the kiddie image of Hannah Montana by causing endless controversy with licorice, bongs, and pole tricks. We're not mad.
The offspring of country music star Billy Ray Cyrus, a man who once sported the meanest mullet in the game, the girl her family once called "Smiley" grew up on a farm in Tennessee before becoming a Disney cash cow. Topping countless Forbes lists year after year, Miley is paid, but, really, all she wants to do is have fun.
The cute tween has given way to a 20-year-old who looks different every week —strange hairdos, fetish wear, and the ever-fun spot-the-new-tattoo game. Still finding her way, perhaps, but doing so sexily.
5. Rooney and Kate Mara
Famous Parent(s): Timothy Christopher Mara, the VP of player evaluation for the New York Giants
Birthdate: Kate, 2/27/1983; Rooney, 4/17/1985
Occupation: Actresses
These two princesses are among the youngest generation of a family of football royalty; their grandfathers are Art Rooney, Sr., the Pittsburgh Steelers founder, and Tim Mara, the New York Giants founder. Naturally, they decided to be movie stars. (They would have been crap football players anyway.)
Kate got the jump on little sis, and by the mid/late '00s was playing chunky roles in Hollywood films like We Are Marshall (2006), Transsiberian (2007) and Shooter (2008). But Rooney came on with a vengeance playing Lisbeth Salander in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (2011). Tattoos, piercings, gratuitous nudity—it was good for Oscar and Golden Globe nominations.
2013 is proving to be a successful year for the pair of them, as Rooney is in Steven Soderbergh's purported last film, Side Effects, and Kate is starring in David Fincher's Netflix series, House of Cards.
4. Jade, Elizabeth Scarlett, and Georgia May Jagger
Famous Parent(s): Mick Jagger, musician; Jerry Hall, model/actress; Bianca Jagger, human rights advocate
Birthdate: Jade Sheena Jezebel Jagger,10/21/1971; Elizabeth Scarlett Jagger 3/2/1984; Georgia May Jagger, 1/12/1992
Occupation: Model/Jewelry Designer and Brand Ambassador
It would appear that the one-and-only frontman for the Rolling Stones, Mick Jagger, is not only a hit-maker but a model maker. Two of his daughters with famous model/ex-wife Jerry Hall (the 28-year-old Elizabeth Scarlett Jagger and 21-year-old Georgia May Jagger), and his 41-year-old daughter, Jade Sheena Jezebel Jagger, with actress/human rights activist/ex-wife Bianca Jagger, have all graced fashion magazine layouts. It seems that, besides giving them kick-ass names, Sir Mick and his better halves have provided the necessary genetics for some attractive catwalkers.
So whether you prefer Lizzy, who favors her affable mom a whole lot, and has recently posed for Playboy, or her younger sister Georgia May with her hella sexy gap teeth and provocative jeans ads done at age 17, or their enticing, older, half-Nicaraguan half-sister Jade, who went from modeling to becoming a successful jewelry designer, you can't go wrong. They're all bound to start you up.
3. Zoe Kravitz
Famous Parent(s): Lenny Kravitz, musician; Lisa Bonet, actress
Birthdate: 12/1/1988
Occupation: Model/actress/singer
It was pretty much a no-brainer that Zoe Kravitz would grow up to be a cool chick. Her pops, Lenny Kravitz, is a rock 'n' roll renegade, while her mom is Lisa Bonet, a rebellious actress; together, Zoe's 'rents are some hip, stylish people (still). So when the man who wrote "Let Love Rule" and Denise Huxtable got hitched way back in the '80s, you just knew good things were bound to happen, and happen they did, with the birth of Zoe, now 22.
Inheriting her parents' good looks (Bonet was always the truth), as well as their sense of non-conformist style, the rising actress has managed to bypass the tabloid headlines she made for drinking a 40 oz. in public during her partying teen years. Since then, she's arrived on the scene as one down-to-earth woman who happens to have some amazing talents.
Her acting career is taking off: She had a quick, memorable stint on Showtime's Californication and played Angel Salvadore in X-Men: First Class. Plus, when she's not modeling, she's jamming with her band Elevator Fight. But even if she wasn't keepin' it grungy on stage, Zoe would still rock, seeing as how she totally passes the no make-up test and her septum-piercing looks natural, not trendy.
(Even more bonus points: her late grandma is actress Roxie Roker from The Jeffersons.)
2. Angelina Jolie
Famous Parent(s): Jon Voight, actor
Birthdate: 6/4/1975
Occupation: Actress
Please, someone tells us we're wrong: Has the love died down for Angelina? Is it because she married the Pittster? Come on, he's a great actor! Or is it because she went koo-koo for the United Colors of Benetton poster children and seems to adopt one every few months? Damn, let the seeds grow up luxuriously, haters.
OK, we admit that we'll always have a place in our collective hearts for Jolie's wild child days, when she was wildin' out doing random, crazy stuff like marrying Billy Bob Thornton, doing full-on nude scenes in movies like Gia, and cutting herself for pleasure. But the mature Angelina is not to be fronted on; she can still get the adrenaline pumping in action flicks like Salt, and her trademark lips are plump as ever. Plus, crazy chicks will never go out of style.
1. Rashida Jones
Famous Parent(s): Quincy Jones, producer; Peggy Lipton, actress/model
Birthdate: 2/25/1976
Occupation: Actress/writer
There are many beautiful women in this world, and Rashida Jones is certainly one of them. However, not all of them are as attractive beyond simple physical attributes as Miss Jones, a Harvard grad who not only acts in funny TV shows like The Office and Parks and Recreation, but she can also sing and write interesting create comic books.
If that weren't enough, we can't forget her legendary pops is Quincy Jones and her mom is the attractive model/actress Peggy Lipton from TV's The Mod Squad and Twin Peaks. She also has an attractive older sister, Kidada Jones, and rap producer half-brother, QDIII.
