      1 hour ago

      From an uncanny resemblance to an undeniable touch of familiarity, the offsprings of these celebrities are a spitting image of their parents.
      So much so, some of them could even be twins. Hence, we take a look at celebrities who have inherited their looks from their mother’s including similar mannerisms.
      Emirates Woman has rounded up a list of A-listers and their lookalike kids, some of which you’ll have to do a double-take.
      Chrissy Teigen and Luna

      Luna, daughter of Chrissy Teigen and John Legend, is regularly seen with her A-list mum. Luna is regularly seen on her mother’s Instagram, from pool selfies to celebrating occasions, they look absolutely chic, every time they pose for the camera. The duo definitely stand out in the world of celebrities.
      Catherine Zeta-Jones and Carys Douglas

      When the actress shared a breathtaking snapshot of her daughter by the beach, fans were stunned to see the resplendent features of her little one.
      Reese Witherspoon and Ava Phillippe

      With a photo shared on the actresses’ Instagram page, her fans found it hard to believe the age difference and mother-daughter relationship. With this holiday-themed image breaking the internet, the duo almost look like twin sisters.
      Gwyneth Paltrow and Apple Martin

      The founder of Goop and her daughter have been seen on social media numerous times, with her little one also promoting the beauty brand’s new eCommerce line while she also embarks on a career of her own. From bonding during at-home workouts to lounging under the sun, the two get along really well while we can’t get over how alike they look.
      Elizabeth Hurley and Damian Hurley

      By inheriting his mother Elizabeth Hurley’s striking looks, Damien has followed in his mother’s footsteps starting a career in modelling and acting.  By taking after his mum, as shown in different campaigns, this model is also known for his long tresses and soft features.
      Cindy Crawford and Kaia Gerber

      While taking after her supermodel mother, Kaia Gerber and Cindy Crawford could easily be mistaken for sisters. Just like her mother, Gerber has gone on to make a name for herself in the fashion industry working with big brands including Versace, Marc Jacobs and Chanel.
      Zoë Kravitz and Lisa Bonet

      While turning heads as they walked the red carpet together to sweet snapshots shared on social media, Lisa Bonet and Zoë Kravitz share a striking resemblance, taking twinning to a whole other level.
      Yolanda and Bella Hadid

      With Yolanda passing down her Dutch genes to her famous daughters of the moment, there’s no doubt that Bella Hadid has received her mother’s strong features and grit when it comes to pursuing her dreams in the modelling industry.
      Kate Moss and Lila Grace

      With near-identical model looks inherited from her mother, Lila Grace quickly entered the industry by already becoming the face of Marc Jacobs Beauty at a very young age as she embraces her mother’s flawless features.

      11 seconds ago

      How the Founder of Forma Pilates, Liana Levi has carved a niche in the world of Pilates.
      What inspired you to launch Forma?
      I started Forma because I wanted people to experience Pilates the way I did; the elegance in the precision and the deep understanding of the mind-body connection.
      What are the key benefits of The Forma Method?
      The Forma Method focused on allowing the body to lengthen and strengthen plus gives our clients a deeper understanding of the body, building enduranceand a stronger core.
      Each session is tailored to meet clients’ needs – was this the plan from the outset?
      Yes, every person’s body and needs is different so it has always been important for me to tailor to meet each individual’s unique needs rather than assuming what works for one person works for everyone.

      What does wellness mean to you?
      Wellness means quality of life, investing in your well-being.
      Forma Pilates provides reformer and mat-based pilates classes online – how did the concept come about?
      Many of our clients were travelling and wanting to continue training. The demand got so high that instead of sending people individual workouts to do on-the-go, I decided to launch Forma online! Today we have thousands of Forma online subscribers doing our workouts around the globe, and it is amazing to see how much it has grown.
      As a next-generation Pilates instructor, what are the basic skills you want to instill in your students?
      The most important skill is being able to create and strengthen your mind-body connection.
      Launching a business is a huge undertaking – what have been the challenges and did you find balance at times?
      There were both so many challenges, and also so much growth. Truthfully there was no balance, but I felt so supported and my community inspired me and motivated me to continue growing.
      Besides consistence – what are the main principles to be followed in Pilates?
      Flow and connection. Pilates requires concentration, connection, and understanding of the body and breath.
      How have you approached scaling while retaining the same level of quality?
      Everything has happened so organically and naturally within its own time. To most it’s “scaling”, to me it’s growing our community and building relationships – as we focus on this, the rest will come.

      This is The Visionary Issue – what is your vision for the future?
      To continue to grow, not only as a business but as a woman, trainer, entrepreneur and leader in this industry. I want to continue to listen, learn, create and innovate in the health and wellness world but also inspire many woman to follow their passion and dreams.

      Virgos are known for their practicality, attention to detail, and love for organisation.
      When choosing a gift for a Virgo, consider something that aligns with their interests and personality traits.
      What are Virgo traits?
      A Virgo is a person born between August 23 to September 22, 2024. Virgos are known for being practical, sensible, and loyal. They make excellent friends and partners. Virgos are known for being perfectionists, and can be meticulous and single-minded in their pursuit of improvement. They have extremely high standards, none more so than for themselves, and they obsess over everything. They are fantastic detail-people, love organising stuff, and can be relied on to make everything go smoothly.
      Planners
      Virgos love staying organized. A high-quality planner or journal, especially one that’s personalized, can be a thoughtful and practical gift.
      Books
      If they enjoy reading, consider a book that aligns with their interests. Virgos often appreciate self-improvement, health, or non-fiction books.
      Stationery Set
      A beautifully designed stationery set with pens, notebooks, and other accessories can appeal to a Virgo’s love for order and writing.
      DIY Kits
      Virgos enjoy hands-on projects. A DIY kit, such as for crafting, gardening, or cooking, could be an enjoyable and fulfilling gift.
      Self-care products
      High-quality, natural skincare products or a spa day can appeal to a Virgo’s love for health and self-care.
      Organisational Tools
      Items like storage containers, drawer organizers, or a stylish yet functional desk organizer can help them keep their space tidy and organized.
      Quality Clothing or Accessories
      Virgos tend to appreciate classic, well-made clothing or accessories. A stylish scarf, leather wallet, or minimalist jewelry can be perfect.
      Houseplants
      If they enjoy plants, a low-maintenance houseplant, such as a succulent or peace lily, can bring a touch of nature into their home.
      Health and Wellness Items
      A fitness tracker, yoga mat, or subscription to a wellness app can resonate with their interest in health
      So to help you ease from the scrolling, Emirates Woman has curated a guide of all the gifts to purchase for the Virgo in your life.
