The mums of celebs who look more like their sisters – and their secrets to looking so amazing at 50 and 60+
They say beauty runs in the genes, and celebrity mums are proving the point effortlessly.
In fact, many of these famous mothers could easily be mistaken for their children’s sisters rather than their parents.
But before you assume their youthful looks are solely down to invasive procedures, think again – many swear by a few clever ‘natural’ beauty hacks.
Nina Prisk, skin and aesthetics expert and founder of Update Aesthetics Clinics, believes this is a growing trend.
“It’s fantastic to see more and more celebrity mums, such as Kate Moss, celebrating healthy, radiant, and naturally glowing skin,” she explains.
“We are fortunate to live in an age where there are more ways than ever to help achieve this.”
Here, YASMIN HARISHA speaks to celebrity beauty experts to uncover the secrets behind their age-defying looks.
Kate Moss and Lila Grace Moss
In true supermodel style, Kate Moss naturally has a step ahead in the beauty world.
And just as she seems to be giving her daughter a leg up in the fashion industry, her youthful looks make her appear more like a big sister than a mother.
Skin and Aesthetics Expert, Nina Prisk, Founder of Update Aesthetics Clinics says: “It’s likely that Kate Moss has taken a 360 approach to nurture the health of her skin in order to achieve such naturally-glowing results.
“She will likely have used in-clinic radiofrequency treatments, which are a minimally-invasive and effective way to address the impacts of ageing such as wrinkles and sagging skin.
“These, used in conjunction with Polynucleotides, which are bio-stimulator injectable treatments that rejuvenate and renew skin cells, can help to nurture and nourish skin.”
Maya Jama and Sadie
Although Maya Jama presents Love Island All Stars, it’s her mum who is the true bombshell.
Sadie celebrated her 50th birthday this month, but as she cuddled up to Maya, 30, many mistook her for her sister.
Nina says: “Maya Jama and her mum both have radiant, glowing, hydrated-looking skin. This is something that can be achieved with Profhilo.
“Profhilo is an in-clinic treatment favoured by many celebrities as it rejuvenates and hydrates the skin.
“It’s essentially an injectable moisturiser made from highly concentrated, purified hyaluronic acid. It can be used on the face, neck, and décolletage for overall rejuvenation.”
Filler
Dr Alma Kamenica, a dermatologist and venereologist at Kamenica.at, also noted that Sadie’s minimal wrinkles may be the result of regular Botox treatments.
She explains: “The minimal wrinkles and radiant complexion suggest she may have regular Botox treatments to maintain a smooth forehead and prevent deep lines from forming.
“She could also have subtle dermal filler in her cheeks and nasolabial folds to restore volume while keeping a natural look.
“Her firm and lifted skin hints at Morpheus8 Burst treatments, which help tighten and refresh the skin for a sculpted appearance.”
Maisie Smith and Julia Smith
This fiery redhead’s mum is turning heads, looking more like her twin sister than her parents.
And experts believe she’s achieved the look without splashing out on expensive lotions and potions – and they reckon Maisie, 23, is doing the same.
Nina says: “In order to achieve such healthy, smooth skin there is no doubt that Julia and Maisie will both be incorporating a high factor broad spectrum SPF into their daily skincare routine.
“This will help to protect against sun damage which can cause premature ageing such as wrinkles and sun spots.”
Abbey Clancy and Karen Sullivan
It’s no surprise Abbey hit the genetic jackpot, as her mum looks like she could strut the catwalk herself.
At 39 and 64 respectively, Abbey and her mum blur the lines between mother and daughter – they look more like sisters than generations apart.
Nina says: “Although injectable treatments such as dermal fillers and muscle relaxants can help to smooth skin and add volume, they do little to improve skin health or promote cell regeneration.
“This is why combining them with other factors – including cosmetics, treatments, nutrition, and lifestyle choices – is essential.

Dr Dalel Trabelsi
“Judging by the incredible skin Abbey Clancy and her mum share, it’s clear they follow this holistic approach.
“This synergy ensures their skin is in optimum health, making injectables more effective and delivering longer-lasting results.
“This glamorous mother and daughter undoubtedly maintain a healthy, balanced diet, rich in essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
“This helps to keep their skin healthy, supports its barrier function, protects it from damage, and promotes healthy collagen and elastin production.”
Teeth
A few tweaks to her smile may also have happened.
Expert comments by Dr Dalel Trabelsi, a dentist and clinical lead at Tooth Club says: “Karen Sullivan is a great advocate for the power of subtle enhancements.
“Karen shows how a fresh smile can complement those cheek fillers. A youthful grin is the best accessory! (just don’t forget to floss).”
Sam & Billie Fairs and Suzie Wells
It appears that the Only Way is looking as young as your daughters for Suzi Wells.
At the age of 55, the mum looks like the third sister to Sam, 34, and Billie, 35.
Expert comments by Dr Dalel Trabelsi, a dentist and clinical lead at Tooth Club, says: “Suzie Wells looks as youthful as her daughters, likely due to a combination of tweakments done subtly and well.
“Regular Botox could help smooth expression lines while still allowing for natural movement.
“She might have also had soft filler in the midface to restore lost volume while keeping her look natural and balanced.
“Her bright, even smile suggests she may have also had some cosmetic dental enhancements, such as teeth whitening or veneers, to achieve a polished, youthful appearance.
“Her bright smile is a testament to how cosmetic dentistry can rejuvenate confidence, proof that teeth are the ultimate anti-ageing tool.”
Zoë Kravitz and Lisa Bonet
Good looks clearly run in the genes in this family, as fans often praise the pair for looking so alike.
Despite a 21-year age gap between the duo, Zoë, 36, and Lisa, 57, don’t appear worlds apart in age.
Dr Alma Kamenica, a dermatologist and venereologist at Kamenica.at, says: “Lisa Bonet has maintained sculpted cheekbones and smooth, even-toned skin, which may suggest the use of dermal fillers to restore lost volume and Botox to soften fine lines.
“She may also incorporate chemical peels to enhance skin clarity and texture.
“Regular Forma treatments could help stimulate collagen production, keeping her skin firm and youthful.”
Biggest skincare trends for 2025
Face The Future’s Head of Clinic, Kimberley Medd, shared the five skincare trends predicted to take off in 2025.
1. Exosomes
Exosomes are the buzzword for 2025, taking advanced skin regeneration to new heights. These micro-messengers signal skin cells to repair damage, boost collagen, and accelerate recovery, and they’re a gamechanger for targeting ageing.
2. Streamlined Skincare
The age of 12-step routines is fading as consumers shift to more intentional, multi-functional products. Streamlining skincare not only saves time but also reduces the risk of overloading your skin. In 2025, we’ll see a rise in hybrid products that combine active ingredients for simplified, effective results.
3. Vegan Collagen
Plant-based collagen will dominate the skincare world this year, providing a sustainable, ethical alternative to traditional animal-derived collagen. Expect vegan collagen in everything from moisturisers to serums.
4. The Rise Of AI
AI is revolutionising the beauty landscape, making it possible for consumers to get truly personalised skincare solutions. In 2025, we predict a dramatic shift towards AI-powered tools that help people understand their skin on a deeper level.
5. Hair Loss Solutions –
Hair loss is an issue that affects more men than we often realise, and it’s no longer just something we’re talking about behind closed doors. This year, expect to see a continued rise in demand for treatments that not only tackle hair loss but also nurture overall scalp health.
