Cindy Crawford is a living legend in the fashion industry. She made a name for herself doing commercial jobs like her iconic Diet Pepsi commercial, while also landing high fashion gigs like walking for Versace. Her work landed her in the elite mix of the '80s and '90s supermodels, known as "The Big Five," along with Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Claudia Schiffer, Christy Turlington, and later, Stephanie Seymour.

Crawford and her daughter, Kaia Gerber, could almost pass as twins. The model has inherited her mom's genes and has worked with brands like Calvin Klein, Marc Jacobs, Saint Laurent, and Versace.

In January 2018, Kaia's brother, Presley Gerber, joined her as the face of Calvin Klein Jeans' global advertising campaign, and then he walked for Balmain at Men's Paris Fashion Week 2018.

However, he found himself in some legal trouble the following year when he was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. He later pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor and was sentenced to three years of probation and ordered to complete a DUI program. In 2020, he also debuted a face tattoo that read "Misunderstood," although it appears to have been removed.

Before becoming the world's most famous "momager," Kris Jenner did a little modeling. Her daughter, Kendall Jenner, is now the highest-paid model in the world.

Despite modeling earlier in her life, Kris Jenner has said she didn't "know really anybody in the modeling industry" when Kendall expressed her interest in becoming a model, according to Harper's Bazaar.

However, after connecting with famed Victoria's Secret photographer Russell James, Kris was able to secure a meeting for Kendall that would drastically change her life.

Kendall Jenner went on to walk in Victoria's Secret Fashion Shows and, among her many Fashion Week appearances, she has walked for Chanel, Miu Miu, Vera Wang, Michael Kors, Marc Jacobs, Fendi, and Versace. In 2017, Jenner was named the world's highest-paid model by Forbes.

Male model and actor Tyson Beckford's son, Jordan, is now also a model.

Beckford is also heavily involved in the music industry and has even produced music for one of his father's cologne campaigns, according to Us Weekly.

"I'm really a proud dad because most 21-year-olds don't have their life together. He's got his together," Tyson Beckford told Us Weekly in 2020.
