Age is marked by our children. These women I have selected remain undeniably chic. As their daughters grow up, they, too, have found their own personal style…
Anna Wintour and Bee Shaffer
Anna Wintour in Chanel Haute Couture is classic and elegant. Bee’s choice, Nina Ricci, is youthful and appropriate. The blue dress brings out her luminescent skin tone.
Gwyneth Paltrow and Blythe Danner
I think the photo speaks for itself.
Jackie Kennedy and Caroline Kennedy
Jackie Kennedy — forever a style icon. This photo was obviously taken many years ago. She just looks so beautiful here. Beyond many of her responsibilities, Jackie loved the American Ballet Theatre. Now Caroline has assumed her mother’s role in chairing the ABT’s Spring Gala. Caroline looks chic in Prada.
Princess Caroline of Monaco and Charlotte Casiraghi
I have mentioned Princess Caroline before in my CHIC LIST. I often see her daughter Charlotte in Paris, and — dressed up or down — Charlotte is among the new jet set and very cool.
Carolina Herrera and Carolina Herrera Jr.
Carolina Jr. works with her mother. I love the green satin against Carolina’s white skin. Carolina Herrera NY
Jane Birkin, Lou Doillon, and Charlotte Gainsbourg
Jane Birkin – Actress and model. The Hermes Birkin bag was named after her after the designer apparently saw her in photos carrying several Hermes bags while boarding a plane. She has two amazing looking daughters from two different husbands. Lou looks sexy and sultry and Charlotte is hip in Balenciaga.
Patti Hansen, Theodora Richards, and Alexandra Richards
Patti Hansen – former model and wife to Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones. Patti and her daughters posed here for the Guerlain advertising campaign. I particularly like Theodora’s blue opaque tights with her red dress.
Ingrid Bergman, Isabella Rossellini, and Elettra Rossellini-Weidemann
Three generations of great genes. Isabella, former face of Lancome, has now passed the role to her daughter Elettra in Yves Saint Laurent.
Catherine Deneuve and Chiara Mastroianni
Both looking chic at the Cannes Film Festival.
Diana and Tracee Ellis Ross
Diana Ross – still reigns Supreme. Her daughter, Tracee Ellis Ross, has a more serene look.
Tina and China Chow
Tina Chow – Beauty icon and wife of famous restauranteur, Michael Chow of MR CHOW, had a quiet elegance punctuated by her zen accessories. Her daughter China, an actress, keeps her look elegant and simple like her mom.
Bianca and Jade Jagger
Both looking exotic in Yves Saint Laurent.
Josephine Premice and Susan Fales-Hill
Susan Fales-Hill is not only an accomplished writer – her book “Always Wear Joy” is a beautiful tribute to her mother, Josephine Premice. Susan is highly photographed. I am always astonished how she can create a different look for each event she attends. In this photo, she is dressed for a disco party at the New York City Ballet.
Nina, Alba, and Chiara Clemente
Alba is an actress and the wife of Francesco Clemente. This chic-looking trio could pass for sisters.

Thank you for featuring some women of color. Although I truly believe we are all from the same tree, it is important to show the variations of leaves on the tree…in order to bring our world back together…One World….

The copies don’t match the orignals, when she was young Catherine Deneuve was so much more beautiful than her daughter.

Catherine Deneuve IS so much more beautiful than her daughter. She always looks like queen.

gorgeous Mums
April 8, 2009 at 7:08 am
all très chic ladies and juniors but cannot agree on Anna Wintour: plastic, autoreferential, always overdressed, très nouveuriche
May 11, 2009 at 1:07 pm
Toutes magnifiques, surtout les Casiraghi. Je trouve également Charlotte Gainsbourg très stylée.
