15 Celeb Moms Who Are Hotter Than Their Daughters

Whoever said that youthfulness equals beauty has not yet seen these hot as heck celebrity mamas. No matter their age or stage in life, these beyond beautiful stars and celebs have been exquisite, and as the years pass, they just don't miss a beat.

All of these lovely women below are not only talented and successful in their respective fields, but they are proud mothers of daughters as well. But when the mother is so hot, as these ladies are, it can be hard for her daughter to compare. Not to say these daughters aren't pretty in their own right, but when seen side-by-side with their gorgeous mom, there is simply no comparison. The popular term “MILF” was created for a reason, and these 15 hot women remind us why.

Of course, as we all know, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and surely a handful of folks out there will argue that the daughters are hotter or are at least as gorgeous as their famous mamas. But for the most part, most will agree that mom takes the cake in the looks department when it comes to these mother-daughter duos below. Then again, maybe when the daughters reach their mothers' age, they will be the knockouts of the family. We'll just have to wait and see if time lends a hand in their level of hotness.

Until then, enjoy perusing through these 15 beautiful women and their attractive daughters… just not quite as attractive as the moms are!

15 Demi Moore and Rumer Willis

Demi Moore has been in the public eye for decades. She is considered to be one of the most beautiful actresses in Hollywood, and over the years, she seems to have aged like a fine wine, getting better with each passing year. She looks far more youthful than her actual age and her body is super-fit and fabulous. When she married (her now ex) Ashton Kutcher - a man far younger - it didn't look like a mismatch since Demi was (and still is) such a hottie. Demi has three daughters with her first ex, Bruce Willis, one of which is named Rumer. While some argue that Rumer is an “odd beauty,” most would agree that her mom is the real looker in the family. The three daughters seem to take after their dad -who is handsome - but somehow his characteristics don't work as well on the female face. Still, Demi and Rumer make an attractive mom-daughter pair, but Demi takes home the prize in the hotness category hands down.

14 Christie Brinkley and Alexa Ray Joel

When your mom is the ultra-supermodel, Christie Brinkley, it has got to be a struggle to look in the mirror and try to find a way to even come close to her otherworldly beauty. And when your pop is Billy Joel, you're not exactly getting the good-looking gene boost to aid your cause. Sure, Billy is a true talent, but it isn't his model-like looks that fans swoon over. So when Christie and Billy made a baby - Alexa Ray - it seems like she was overloaded with dad's DNA. Not to say Alexa Ray isn't a beautiful gal, but her mom is an utter knockout, and by the way she has aged thus far, it seems like she always will be. Alexa Ray has definitely blossomed out of her past awkward phase and has come into her own, but mom Christie is the true hottie in this famous family.

13 Iman and Zulekha Haywood

Supermodel Iman is one of the most uniquely beautiful women to ever walk the face of the Earth. The miniscule chance that there could ever be another person who could behold such beauty would be a one-in-a-million shot. That is why her daughter, Zulekha Haywood, while quite attractive in her own right, could never come close to the gem that she calls mom. Iman is a living icon and has been a successful model ever since she was first spotted, and her undeniable beauty never diminishes, despite her advancing age and the work of “Father Time.” Zulekha must marvel at her mom's breathtaking beauty right along with the rest of us, but then again, she never knew any differently. Until she saw the other soccer moms at school, that is!

12 Beverly Johnson and Anansa Sims

Another timeless beauty, model Beverly Johnson is always fabulously fresh-faced and full of her bright smile, and has been ever since we first saw her beautiful face on the pages of fashion magazines. She simply glows from within and her ethereal essence captivates anyone she meets. She has a daughter named Anansa Sims who is a plus-size model, and while she is definitely gorgeous too, her mom Beverly just can't be beat. Anansa did inherit a lot of her mom's blessed genes and DNA, and has carved out a lucrative modeling gig just like her mama, but to have to compare to the great Beverly Johnson can't be easy as her daughter. Mom may have taught her the ropes, but she will never relinquish her title as the family hottie!

11 Jada Pinkett Smith and Willow Smith

Jada Pinkett Smith is the wife of actor Will Smith and a popular actress in her own right. She's petite, perky, and super-pretty, and she has been a leading lady not only in Will's life, but in many of the films she has been in. She has two kids with Will, a girl and a boy, and both are getting into the biz themselves in the arts and music. Her daughter Willow has developed her own unique style and is making waves in the celeb world. She's certainly growing up to be an attractive young woman, but her mom Jada is the jewel of the family. Willow is definitely a blend of her parents, but Jada simply oozes fabulousness from every pore. Let's see if Willow blossoms into a rare beauty like her mother over the years. If not, she's still a cutie.

10 Whitney Houston and Bobbi Kristina Brown

Let's start by hoping this mother-daughter duo is resting in peace, as they are sorely missed by their friends, family, and fans. But getting back to the topic at hand, it would be hard to find a soul who doesn't agree that Whitney Houston was a gorgeous woman. Her only daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, was cute, but she looked far more like her pop, Bobby Brown, which isn't exactly a one-way ticket to the cat walk. Surely Bobbi Kristina knew how above average in looks her mom was, so why even bother to compare? Whitney was as gorgeous as any model or actress and she was one of the most talented singers of the modern day. She doted on her daughter and although they weren't look-alikes, they had a special bond.

9 Madonna and Lourdes Leon

Madonna has a whole carpool-full of kids now, but her very first was Lourdes Leon. While many have picked apart Madonna's looks over the years, especially as she ages, many would agree that although her daughter is pretty, “Madge” is the looker of the two. Perhaps we are just used to seeing Madonna all made-up, or in airbrushed pics, and we mainly see Lourdes snapped in unflattering paparazzi shots as she exits restaurants or is walking down the street in casual attire. But you've gotta give it to the enduring Madonna, as she is no spring chicken and she still looks great. She is fit and toned and still rocks packed stadiums full of fans from all over the globe. Lordes is no ugly duckling by far, but to shadow a mom like Madonna is a lifelong sentence.

8 Candy Spelling and Tori Spelling

Candy Spelling and her daughter, actress and TV personality, Tori are always in the press when it comes to family issues, money, reality TV, and the like. Candy was always known as a classy beauty, and she married the ridiculously Aaron Spelling and together they had Tori. If you've ever seen the late Aaron Spelling, you know that while he was talented and successful, he wasn't the most handsome fella on set. And Tori definitely looks a lot like her poppa. Not to say Tori isn't cute and she can pull it together when called for, but her marvelous mom is more of a beauty in the classic sense. Not that Tori has anytime to worry about any of this nonsense, as she has a houseful of kids to raise.

7 Diana Ross and Tracee Ellis Ross

Diana Ross is a living music legend with catchy songs that have been popular for decades and a presence that is truly captivating. She is a rare beauty through and through, and even as she has gotten older, her attractiveness hasn't faded an ounce. She has a daughter, Tracee Ellis Ross, who is successful as a comedic actress and is more popular than ever thanks to her current hit television show. Sure, we can all see that Tracee is certainly an attractive woman, but she's simply no Diana. Then again, who could be? Diana is a rare gem that sparkles like a night sky full of stars on stage and screen. Tracee is certainly dynamic, but her mom takes the cake when it comes to having that coveted “wow factor.”

6 Naomi Judd and Wynonna Judd

The Judds are a famous country singing mom-daughter duo and their popularity has been steady and strong over the years. Mom Naomi Judd is a true beauty with looks that are like those of a model. Her daughter, Wynonna is certainly attractive, but by no means can compare to her spectacular mother. Some say the two look like they could be twins, but that is only because Naomi looks so young that it is hard to believe she is the mother to Wynonna. Both ladies have ravishing red hair and beautiful bright smiles, but Naomi can't be topped when it comes to looking like a million bucks. Talent surely runs in this family, as do good looks, but it seems like Naomi didn't pass along all of her gorgeous genes to the next generation.

5 Priscilla Presley and Lisa Marie Presley

The pretty Priscilla Presley is the widow of the incredible late Elvis Presley and together they had a daughter named Lisa Marie. Priscilla was always considered to be a beautiful woman and her looks have been above-average over the years. Lisa Marie is certainly attractive, but somehow the blend of her mom and her handsome dad Elvis didn't create a stunner as hot as mom Priscilla. Lisa Marie seems pretty cool with that, as not everyone needs to be a cookie cutter replica of their parents. Elvis could have had any woman he wanted, so it is no surprise that he got hitched to such a remarkable lady such as Priscilla. As long as she lays off the fillers and Botox, she will retain her beauty for many years to come.

4 Jayne Mansfield and Mariska Hargitay

Jayne Mansfield was a blonde bombshell considered one of the most beautiful women of her day. She was once a Playboy Playmate and was in a number of films, including the risqué (for the time) Too Hot to Handle, where she was cast in the “sexy woman” role. While she only lived to be 34-years-old, her life as a sex symbol was exciting and successful. She had a daughter who is now the successful actress, Mariska Hargitay, best known for her work on the long-running hit TV series Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. Mariska is definitely a beautiful woman too, but there is no way she could ever compare to her late mom Jayne. She probably wouldn't even want to if she could. The two look quite different, and perhaps Mariska likes it that way.

3 Vanessa Williams and Jillian Hervey

The lovely Vanessa Williams has been in the public eye for years, as a model, a Miss America winner, an actress, and a singer. Fans have enjoyed watching Vanessa on the big screen in films such as Shaft, Soul Food, Dance with Me, Another You, and more, and her voice has made her a chart-topper. She is also a mom and one of her daughters is named Jillian Hervey who is a 28-year-old singer and dancer. Both ladies are great looking, but Vanessa is a step above most ladies, including her own offspring. Hey, it's not her fault… she was simply blessed with great genes. Vanessa's creamy complexion, captivating eyes, bright white smile, and overall presence makes her a true Hollywood gem, and while Jillian has a unique look, she can't match her mom's hot-factor.

2 Judy Garland and Liza Minnelli

The incomparable Judy Garland was a successful screen legend most popular for her role in the classic film, The Wizard of Oz. She was a singer and actress with a raw talent that was unmatched. She had a daughter named Liza Minnelli who also grew up to be a performer, best known for her iconic role in Cabaret. Comparing the two, when it comes to the looks department, mom Judy takes home the prize. While she only lived to be 47-years-old, she made a lasting impression on the world and fans still watch her films to this day. Liza is still in the public eye at 71, and is still going strong. Surely Liza is as impressed as the rest of the world was by her beautiful and talented late mother and would agree that her mom was a knockout.

1 Nicole Kidman and Bella Cruise

Aussie actress Nicole Kidman is a ravishing beauty with looks that are classic and timeless. Her delicate features, lovely hair, and statuesque physique are made for the cameras and Nicole has been showing off her perfection for decades. She has a couple of kids with her current country singer hubby, but when she was married to actor Tom Cruise, the pair adopted two children, one girl and one boy. The girl, now grown, is named Bella. As an adoptee, there was no chance she'd grow up to look like her mom, but the tabloids have no issue pointing out that Bella wasn't graced with the same beauty anyhow. Even if she were biologically related to her mom Nicole, there's still no guarantee she'd blossom into her mini-me. One can say that looks fade in the long run anyway, but take one look at Nicole and you'll change your tune in a heartbeat.
