Reese Witherspoon's daughter Ava Phillippe could be her clone. The pair looks so similar that when they appear together on the red carpet, we have to do a double-take. We're not the only ones who notice either. Reese is totally aware!

We’re happy to share this wonderful experience. I really have a rich, personal relationship with my daughter. I have a really great career, and it’s nice to be able to share it with my kids.”

Lourdes Leon doesn't just look like her momma, Madonna, she also has adopted her quirky, '80s style. Currently, Lourdes is rocking very fashion-forward, platinum-tinged gray hair. This is just a teeny step away from her mom's famous, bleach-blonde locks. Above, she's pictured with a more subtle head of brunette locks.

Madonna may be known for her eccentric style and, of course, being the Queen of Pop, but she's still a rather conservative mom. She initially wouldn't let Lourdes dye her hair at all. When Lourdes was 14-years-old she took to her blog to complain about how her mom wouldn't let her dye her hair blue!
