Spot the difference

As the saying goes, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree - especially if you not only look like the spitting image of your mother, but follow her career path into the world of showbiz. And the resemblance is even more remarkable when you see them at the same age.

It's almost impossible to pick the difference between Reese Witherspoon and her mini-me, daughter Ava Phillippe at the age of 16, and there's no denying that Gwyneth Paltrow's signature smile came straight from her mama, Blythe Danner.

You even have to do a double take at Goldie Hawn and Kate Hudson now, let alone when they were both 37. Same goes for Rashida Jones and her mum, Peggy Lipton, who looks so similar, you can almost pick every single one of Peggy's facial features from Rashida's face. 

Style seems to run in their blood too. You just have to look at these stylish A-list mums and daughters to get some of the best fashion inspiration of your life. 

But perhaps the most impressive look-a-like duo is Meryl Streep and daughter, Mamie Gummer, who look so similar, we can't rule out the theory that they're actually the same person and simply time travel to trick us all! 

Meet the celebrities who are giving the phrase, 'I got it from my mama' a whole new meaning...
