1. Bella Hadid. Age: 19. Claim to fame: Sister to Gigi, daughter to Yolanda 'The Real Housewifes of Beverly Hills’ Hadid, GF of The Weeknd’s Abel Tesfaye, Bella has starred in Balmain and Topshop campaigns and walked for the likes of Miu Miu, Givenchy and Chanel - all without cracking a smile.

01

Our prediction: 2016 is her year – expect to get sick of seeing her pretty feline features.

02

2. Lily-Rose Depp. Age: 16 (soon to be 17). Claim to fame: Enjoying the pick of parents’ - Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis - best physical assets, the up-and-coming gender fluid actress even has Karl under her spell, with the requisite Chanel sunglasses campaign to prove it.

03

Our prediction: A lengthy Hollywood CV and long-term Chanel relationship.

04

3. Eliot ‘Coco’ Sumner. Age: 25. Claim to fame: The recently ‘out’ daughter of Sting and Trudie Styler follows in dad’s footsteps as a guitarist and singer-songwriter. With a sound strangely reminiscent of Sting and an androgynous look, she’s cultivating an indie kid/LGBT fan base and regularly sits front row at shows like Louis Vuitton.

05

Our prediction: Her striking look is just waiting to be tapped for a luxury fashion campaign. Gucci or LV, anyone?

06

4. Hailey Baldwin Age: 19. Claim to fame: Her daddy is ‘90s star Stephen Baldwin, Justin Bieber used to be her BF and her besties are Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid. Enough said.

07

Our prediction: The Cali It-girl will tread the predictable slashie route to La-La Land (modelling, then feature films).

08

5. Kaia Gerber. Age: 14. Claim to fame: Doppelganger to original supermodel, mum Cindy Crawford, the stunning teen has barely hit high school but she’s already signed to IMG models and has a plum role in the latest Alexander Wang campaign.

09

Our prediction: With all-American looks like mum, a stellar modelling career is inevitable. We’re thinking major beauty campaigns… she just needs to grow up already.

10

6. Dylan Brosnan. Age: 19. Claim to fame: Son of Pierce ‘007’ Brosnan and Keely Shaye Smith, the aspiring musician has the Burberry S/S ’16 campaign under his belt, has been shot by Hedi Slimane and is best buds with other celeb offspring like Jack Kilmer (Val’s son).

11

Our prediction: If he's smart, he'll form a superband with another famous-surnamed kid.

12

7. Brooklyn Beckham. Age: 17. Claim to fame: The self-assured firstborn of Posh and Becks is so well-connected, he shot the Burberry S/S ’16 campaign on Snapchat and now has a very public relationship with US actress Chloë Grace Moretz.

13

Our prediction: With a pro soccer player father and fashion plate mother, the world is literally his oyster. Cutie pie brother Romeo, 13, is next...

14

8. Jaden Smith. Age: 17. Claim to fame: The second son of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith has dabbled in acting, music, modelling (for Louis Vuitton’s S/S ’16 womenswear campaign, no less) and has his own fashion line, MSFTSrep.

15

Our prediction: Music meets fashion? Hello, Kanye 2.0.

16

9. Willow Smith. Age: 15. Claim to fame: Will and Jada's uber-creative kid is a Chanel ambassador with a clever on-again-off-again social media presence. She also sings, acts and dances… did we mention she's only 15?

17

Our prediction: We reckon she's the next Beyoncé or RiRi.

18

10. Lourdes Leon. Age: 19. Claim to fame: In case you can’t tell, her mum is Madonna, which means she’s been famous since she was a foetus. Most recently, Lourdes scored a Stella McCartney fragrance campaign.

19

Our prediction: She’ll forgo a pop music career in favour of acting and philanthropy à la Angelina Jolie.

20

11. Patrick Schwarzenegger. Age: 22. Claim to fame: The college grad and red-carpet regular is son to Arnie (with a grin to match) and Maria Shriver, and is slowly carving out a modelling and acting career. Last seen in Ryan Murphy’s 'Scream Queens', he’s also modelled for Tom Ford Eyewear and famously dated Miley Cyrus in 2015.

21

Our prediction: An acting career… but with those pesky Kennedy genes, a late entry into politics could also be on the cards.

22

12. Dylan Penn. Age: 24. Claim to fame: A front row fixture at Chanel and Boss, Dylan has the best of mum Robin Wright's and dad Sean Penn’s Hollywood looks. The model and burgeoning actress has already gone the men’s mag route and is now opting for an on-screen career. She’s even had a taste of the tabloids with a brief, pre-FKA twigs dalliance with Robert Pattinson.

23

Our prediction: This girl has 'serious actor' blood pumping through her veins.

24

13. Ireland Basinger-Baldwin. Age: 20. Claim to fame: Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger's daughter not only inspired one helluva child custody battle, she shot to fame in 2007 (age 11) when her father labelled her “a rude, thoughtless little pig” via voicemail – and it went public. (Oops). Now, like cousin Hailey, the model-cum actress is a tabloid regular, thanks to a former relationship with female rapper Angel Haze.

25

Our prediction: Outspoken about her (now defunct) interracial gay relationship, could she have the makings of an indie star?

26

14. Dylan Lee. Age: 18. Claim to fame: Hedi Slimane must have a thing for Dylans, because the youngest son of so-’90s couple Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee was plucked from the waves of Malibu to be the former Saint Laurent creative’s newest LA-kid muse.

27

Our prediction: Already signed to Next models, he's just waiting for Hedi's next move (as are we). Beyond that, we can see him following in his dad's musical footsteps.

28

15. Rafferty Law. Age: 19.Claim to fame: A dead ringer for papa Jude Law and mama Sadie Frost, Raff made his catwalk debut at DKNY in 2014. Since then, the British teen has signed with Select models, rubbed shoulders with the Burberry front row crew and started a fledgling band, Dirty Harrys. Fun fact: he once did work experience for Blur’s reunion tour. Because nepotism gets you everywhere.

29

Our prediction: Ok, so the kid’s still a tad green (and baby-faced), but if he’s got even one iota of dad’s suave ‘90s sex appeal, watch out Hollywood.

30

The younger next-Gen to watch: Sailor Brinkley Cook (Christie Brinkley’s lookalike)

31

The younger next-Gen to watch: Ava Phillippe (Reese and Ryan's lovely daughter)

32

The younger next-Gen to watch: Maya Thurman-Hawke (Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman’s kid)

33

The younger next-Gen to watch: Liv Freundlich (Julianne Moore’s mini me)

34

The younger next-Gen to watch: Romeo Beckham (already a Burberry star)

35

The younger next-Gen to watch: Suri Cruise (needs no introduction)

36

The younger next-Gen to watch: Apple Martin (the spitting image of mum Gwyneth and dad Chris Martin)

37

The younger next-Gen to watch: Matilda Ledger (Michelle Williams and Heath Ledger's only child)

38

The younger next-Gen to watch: Shiloh Jolie-Pitt (not to single her out from the rest of the Brangelina pack, BUT... is she John or Shiloh? The world is transfixed.)

39

Life's a breeze if you're wading in these gene pools, says Buro 24/7's commercial editor Yeong Sassall

Forget being born to actual royalty - it's far better (and more career-savvy) to be the offspring of a famous rockstar, model or actor. With family connections, famous surnames and 'thanks-mum' genes, these Hollywood cool kids are the next-gen Georgia May Jagger, Lily Collins, Riley Keough and Zoë Kravitz. Don't believe us?
