  • Nepo babies are all the rage at the moment as netizens are picking up on some of the biggest stars born into fame – like Kate Moss’ daughter Lila Grace Moss, who already works with Versace and Miu Miu
  • Justin Bieber’s wife and Stephen Baldwin’s daughter Hailey Bieber has worked with Calvin Klein and Saint Laurent, while Leni Klum’s mum Heidi has been cheering on her campaigns with D&G and Dior

Gen Z’s viral discovery of Hollywood’s biggest “nepotism babies” set the internet alight last year. It’s still a trending topic as netizens are realising the entertainment industry’s lack of meritocracy in recent years when it comes to spotlighting some up-and-coming stars – who happen to be the children of already super-famous celebs.

Nepotism babies, aka “nepo babies”, refer to the actors, musicians, producers, models, business owners and showbiz insiders (the list goes on) who may have got a leg-up in their professions thanks to convenient family connections. While some famous faces have addressed their privilege and associated controversies, others have, much to the exasperation of their critics, argued that they earned their accomplishments alone.

One of the biggest industries for nepo babies, it seems, is fashion. The field’s new generation of “It” girls seem to have sprouted from the fame of their big-name parents.

Here are 12 of the biggest nepo babies who became successful fashion models …

1. Lila Grace Moss
