Who wore “young” better? Celebrity moms and daughters side-by-side.

I think in about 85 percent of the photos, the mom is prettier.

I always think this when I watch movies from the 40s and the 50s. Women as young as 23-25 just look so so poised and polished and glamorous. I think it's the posture, speech, clothes hair and makeup all rolled into one!

I am PP - and for me this is so different from movies from the 40s and 50s! (Though my lord were women glamorous there, too.) Here it's more the 70s, 80s, and 90s. They have wild hair and big smiles, and just look like they are actually having fun. It's one of the things that looks so sad in photos of young people, today - they looks so uptight. Overly sexualized (but not actually having sex), overly made up, and then taking just constantly taking photos instead of enjoying their young lives. I'm sure they're having a better time than I realize. It was - of all people - the photo of Kris Jenner smiling, with the pic of Kim K at the same age, that really drove that home for me. Kris just looked free in a different way than Kim did.



But yeah the women in movies in the 40s and 50s are amazing looking.

Me again - and (because now I can't stop clicking) it's clearly not true across the board. A lot of the kids look fantastic, and look like normal people. It probably is just mostly me being an old and liking styles better from when I was young.

But still, like it's just striking to look at how natural Lisa Rinna (! - not known for looking natural!!) looks here compared to her kids

I would never have recognized Lisa Rinna in a million years.

Nor would I -- I thought the one on the left was Justine Bateman (and I am old enough to have seen Lisa Rinna on the soaps, so I knew her face before all the plastic surgery)

I think the main difference is that Kris Jenner was more naturally good looking than her daughters. That's why a candid of Kris Jenner looks better than Kim all made up. The counterpoint is Zooey Deutch and Lea Thompson - both very attractive women.

Oh gosh Lea Thompson - my youth comes back. Even she and her daughter, you still sort of see it - though her daughter doesn't look overly sexualized or miserable, at least. But she's still styled and coated with makeup in a way that looks like armor, while Lea looks like she could get up from this photo session and go out and do something fun.

Maybe what I'm just saying is that I miss being able to see people's actual skin instead of an air brushed, glazed, botoxed to death coat of armor.

PP here - I agree completely. It's sort of boring now that everyone is styled within an inch of their life.

What a great thread! Life really was better before social media, it seems.

"The Social Media Look" is so overdone and so obvious now. The bolded is so true - no one looks like a real human any more - they look like aliens - same lips, same fake orange skin, same expression, same translucent beyond white teeth. People looked so much better, prettier and healthier back then. The Look is even more embarrassing when moms take part - everything about it is fake, fake, fake.

Wow, Lisa Rinna really is unrecognizable - she was a beauty!

The daughters are all more coiffed, but the moms are all prettier.

I think Christie Brinkley was prettier than her daughter Sailor back in her day.

I also think Cindy Crawford is prettier than Kaia Gerber.

[Anonymous]

Oh and Heidi Klum vs Leni?!

Of all of the people they both look equally stunning.
The rest it’s pretty obvious the mothers look better and the daughters’ fames are due to nepotism if we’re being totally honest.

Absolutely on both.

Cindy Crawford truly was a stunner back in the day.

This is a cautionary tale about the dangers of botox and fillers. Blythe Danner looks *so* much better.

And perhaps sustaining one’s self on more than just a sip of broth here and there.
