Fashionista Sofia Richie had TikTok in a chokehold with her stylish quiet luxury aesthetic. For the uninitiated, she's also the daughter of iconic singer Lionel Richie.

Speaking of the Richie family, The Simple Life star Nicole also boasts Lionel Richie as her Dad. Lionel and his ex wife Brenda adopted her when she was nine...aww.

She might be married to one of the most famous Nepo babies Brooklyn Beckham, but did you know that actor Nicola Peltz's famous family connections started long before she met her now husband? Her dad Nelson Peltz is a billionaire businessman and her mum Claudia Heffner is a model.

You probably love Kate for iconic lines such as 'and all the girls dreamed that they'd be Ben's partner...' (bonus points if you can name that '00s film!), but I wonder how many of you know that her Mum is actress Goldie Hawn and her Dad is singer Bill Hudson?

11. Dakota Johnson

She's best known for her roles in Fifty Shades of Grey and How to be single, but Dakota's parents Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson also have the acting bug, having both worked in on-screen roles. Don is arguably most famous for his part in Miami Vice.

12. Lily Collins

13. Phoebe Dynevor

If model Rafferty Law's surname wasn't enough of a hint at his famous Dad, we reckon he's also the spitting image of his father, Jude Law. Pictured with his famous Mum actor Sadie Frost, Rafferty (AKA Raff) has starred in Running Man and Twist.

16. Emma Roberts

Emma Roberts has starred in many a thriller including Scream Queens and Christmas movie Holidate. Her father is American actor Eric Roberts who has appeared in Suits among other things, and her aunt is none other than Julia Roberts. Yes, THE Julia Roberts.

17. Lily Allen

Singer Lily has an impressive CV but is probably best known for her hits "Smile" and "The Fear" (BRB, just playing them on repeat), but did you know she's also the daughter of actor Keith Allen and niece to director Kevin Allen?

18. Benedict Cumberbatch

Sherlock star Benedict's acting capabilities might just have come from his actor Dad, Timothy Carlton. Timothy has starred in various theatre and TV roles throughout his life including Keeping up appearances.
