When Hollywood calls and the fame game beckons, who better to have by your side than your loving mother.

GOLDIE HAWN AND KATE HUDSON

With their sun kissed blonde hair, genius knack for comedy and solid familial grounding, silver screen legend Goldie Hawn and daughter Kate Hudson is one of Hollywood’s most adored mother-daughter duos. Often being complimented on her resemblance to her mom, Kate says “I have zero problems when people say, ‘Wow, you look like your mother.’ I go, ‘Well, great! Thanks,’” Goldie and her eldest daughter are never far away from one another – from Los Angeles to Aspen, London to New York. As each another’s biggest fans and sources of inspiration, this mom and daughter duo obviously share more than just the red carpet.

TINA KNOWLES AND BEYONCÉ KNOWLES

“My mom is one of those people that you feel honoured to meet. And no matter who you are, you fall in love with her because she is spiritual, she’s inspiring, she’s strong, she’s funny, she’s creative, she’s talented…she’s everything that I want to be.” Beyoncé Knowles is one of the world’s most successful, talented and dynamic singers, yet, when talking about mother Tina, who heads up fashion line House of Deréon alongside her daughter, she reveals a tenderness that can only be brought on by your own mom. Being a new mother herself, Beyoncé’s family values, instilled by mom Tina, will no doubt continue to influence her life and her career.

GERDA THERON AND CHARLIZE THERON

“My mom has made it possible for me to be who I am. Our family is everything. Her greatest skill was encouraging me to find my own person and own independence,” says South Africa’s golden girl Charlize Theron of her loving mom Gerda. Always by her side pictured in the background, Gerda has been with Charlize every step of the way – in good times and bad. As a new grandmother to Charlize’s adopted son Jackson (“He’s my greatest gift,” Charlize recently told American Vogue), Gerda and her Oscar winning daughter are lovingly growing their close-knit family unit.
