Inherited Beauty – Susan Tabak’s Mother-Daughter Chic List

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 New York-Paris 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 Hermès Birkin bag was named after her after the designer apparently saw her in photos carrying several Hermès 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.
