From Lila Moss Hack to Dylan Brosnan: The celebrity children making a name for themselves as models

There’s a new saying in the world of modelling: if you want to get ahead, simply have famous parents. Easy peasy.

As the offspring of celebrities from the worlds of film, music and fashion elbow aside their non-celebrity counterparts for spots on the runways of London, Paris, New York and Milan, certain names have already become world famous.

Cindy Crawford’s daughter Kaia Gerber, the Hadid siblings Gigi, Bella and Anwar, Paris Jackson, Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner have all become celebrated fashion darlings thanks to their famous surnames and millions of followers on Instagram.

But the world of celebrity offspring modelling (or "nepotism modelling", as it’s also snarkily known) is much bigger than you think.

Eighties Pretty in Pink actress Molly Ringwald's daughter, 16-year-old Mathilda Gianopoulos, started modelling aged 13 for US brand J Crew, while rapper Snoop Dogg's 23-year-old son, Cordell Broadus, has modelled for both Kenneth Cole and Dolce & Gabbana.

Elsewhere, Bond star Pierce Brosnan's son, Dylan, 23, was handpicked by Saint Laurent designer Hedi Slimane to be the face of his latest campaign.

Here, we reveal some of the star children who got a Louboutin-shod leg up the modelling career ladder thanks to mummy or daddy’s celebrated surname.

Strait of Hormuz

Fujairah is a crucial hub for fuel storage and is just outside the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping route linking Middle East oil producers to markets in Asia, Europe, North America and beyond.

The strait is 33 km wide at its narrowest point, but the shipping lane is just three km wide in either direction. Almost a fifth of oil consumed across the world passes through the strait.

Iran has repeatedly threatened to close the strait, a move that would risk inviting geopolitical and economic turmoil.

Last month, Iran issued a new warning that it would block the strait, if it was prevented from using the waterway following a US decision to end exemptions from sanctions for major Iranian oil importers.
