They could have had a meteoric career in the world of high fashion thanks to their famous moms. But they refused. Someone in favor of scientific discoveries, and someone for very subjective reasons!
Alexa Rae Joel and Sailor Brinkley-Cook (Christie Brinkley’s daughters)
Sailor – one of the daughters of the famous American top model, actress and fatal blonde Christie Brinkley (67) – once wrote on her Instagram (The social network was recognized as extremist and banned in the territory of the Russian Federation ):
“Stop comparing me to my mother and her other children. These conversations hurt me. I’m happy, healthy, kind to others, so why should I worry about not looking as good as someone else?! I am an independent person with my own beliefs, thoughts and face. Yes, I was lucky to be born of such a mother.
The letter stirred the hearts of many girls Sailor’s age, who, like her, had complexes because of their appearance. Sailor Brinkley-Cook was born on July 2, 1998. His father – the famous architect Peter Halsey Cook – and his daughter were for him the most beautiful princess in the world, although he dishonored all of America when he turned out to be an avid lover of porn sites and underage girls. Christie Brinkley dreamed that her daughter would continue her work and become a famous model. She even helped organize a photo shoot for TeenVogue, where 15-year-old Sailor made her modeling debut. But, growing up, she clearly ceased to correspond to the ideal parameters of the model: plump, with chubby cheeks, does not reach 175 cm. She graduated from high school and entered the famous New York College. Sometimes she takes part in fashion shoots, but she is always closer to a career as a designer.

“I try to live my life and dream that people understand that I have my own business,” Sailor admitted in an interview with a popular tabloid, and we’re very supportive of that!
Another daughter of Christie Brinkley, Alexa Ray Joel, daughter of pop star Billy Joel, did not even think of connecting her life with the modeling world, despite her spectacular appearance. As a child, she was interested in music, like her famous father, and today Alexa, 36, plays the piano perfectly, writes songs and sings in famous rock clubs in New York.
Carly Lowsen (Twiggy’s daughter)
Carly Lowsen (Twiggy’s daughter)
A true star of the 60s fashion world, legendary model, Reed Twiggy always idolized his beloved and only daughter Carly and tried to lure her into the fashion industry. But, alas, the girl, neither with her face, nor even with her figure, even despite the patronage of the famous mother, could not interest any modeling agency. Carly is now 40 and successfully working in Stella McCartney’s studio as a senior designer.
Alexandria “Lexi” Zahra Jones and Zuleika Haywood (Iman’s daughters)
Charismatic, incomprehensible and supernatural “Dream Woman” of the great Yves Saint Laurent, supermodel, actress and girlfriend of David Bowie loved his daughters very much, but never allowed them too much. She did not let herself go, much less did not encourage the desire of the youngest daughter of Alexandria to become a model. “Live your life, don’t dive into advertising,” Iman once told her and thus made it clear that the fashion conversation was over once and for all. The girl listened to her sensible mother, graduated from college and decided to become an artist. The model’s second daughter, to whom she gave birth to basketball player Spencer Haywood, suffered from excess weight since childhood, at the age of 28 she gained 150 kilograms. Mom sent her to the best clinic in New York, where she had gastric truncation. Now Zuleika is 42, she is on a diet, feels great and loves motherhood – she recently had a daughter.
Savannah Dickinson (daughter of Janice Dickinson)
The daughter of American model and TV presenter Janice Dickinson is already 26 years old. She didn’t rise to fame like Janice, apparently as a child she went through various horror stories on her mother’s reality show, Janice Witch Model School. The former supermodel is famous for her outrageous character and impudent behavior at secular parties. Most likely due to the fact that Savannah has been watching all of this since day one of her life, she is a stranger to popularity and endless camera flashes from reporters. His Instagram account (a social network recognized as extremist and banned in the territory of the Russian Federation) is closed, and in general there are too few friends. All she did for the public was to act in the unknown film “Beautiful, Bad, Evil” in a small role.
Gillian, Melanie Hervey (daughter of Vanessa Williams)
American model, singer and actress Vanessa Williams rose to fame for being the first African-American woman to receive the title of Miss America. But this is not her only merit – for her musical career she received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She married three times. From her first marriage, she gave birth to a son, Devin, and two daughters, Melanie Lynn and Jillian Christine Hervey. The eldest, Melanie, now 33, starred in an episode of Courage for Love, featuring her mother. Despite her charismatic appearance, Melanie did not want to become a model. She loves music and teaches yoga and barre fitness at her own school (fitness with elements of ballet. – approx. Ed.). The youngest daughter of the African-American “Miss America” - with beautiful and charming hair Gillian Christine Hervey – became a singer and dancer in the group Lion Babe.
Aurelien Enthovin and Carla Bruni
Son of the famous French and Italian model, singer and former First Lady of France Carla Bruni, Aurélien Enthovin is a modest and charming young man. He hates publicity and likes to study. Already as a child, he began to collect a collection of dinosaurs, and having kept his childhood dream of studying the past of our planet, he entered university at the faculty of paleontology. He also maintains his educational YouTube channel.
Arpad Busson and Elle MacPherson
Blonde beauty and supermodel Elle MacPherson admits that there have been many happy moments in her life: when she appeared on the covers of the most famous magazines, when she met the man of her dreams, the millionaire French Arpad Busson, and when she became the mother of two beautiful sons. She is very proud of them and constantly appears with them at social events so that everyone can appreciate their charm and beauty. However, despite the “fashionable” genes, the supermodel’s grown children do not aspire to the modeling profession: the eldest, Arpad Busson, successfully studies at university, and the youngest, Aurelius, lives with a famous mother, loves music and loves sports.
Janice Dickinson and Nathan Fields
The eldest son of supermodel Nathan Rae Michael Fields (34) has followed in the footsteps of his father, famed TV producer Simon Fields. Despite his attractive appearance and his supermodel mother’s long persuasion to pursue a career in modeling and become the male face of a global brand, he became an actor and television producer. And now she’s helping the legendary mother shoot her own reality show about the hard lives of models.
