The hallowed runways of London Fashion Week were dominated by a new generation of style royalty this season, as the progeny of some of Britain's most iconic figures made their mark. Dubbed 'nepo babies' – children of the famous benefiting from nepotism – these scions turned the catwalk into a family affair.
A Front Row Legacy Steps Into the Spotlight
All eyes were on Lila Moss, the 20-year-old daughter of supermodel Kate Moss and magazine publisher Jefferson Hack. Demonstrating that style prowess is clearly hereditary, Lila commanded attention in a series of striking ensembles for the Miu Miu show. Her signature confidence echoed her mother's legendary runway presence, solidifying her status as fashion's newest 'it' girl.
Beckham Style: The Next Generation
Footballing and fashion royalty merged once again as Romeo Beckham, second son of David and Victoria Beckham, continued to build his own modelling portfolio. The 21-year-old, now a seasoned face in the fashion world, brought a fresh, athletic energy to the proceedings, proving the Beckham brand is stronger than ever.
The Law of Attraction
Completing the trifecta of famous offspring was Iris Law, the 23-year-old daughter of actor Jude Law and actress-sadie Frost. With her distinctive look and established fashion credentials, Iris seamlessly blended into the high-fashion atmosphere, further cementing her position within the industry's inner circle.
More Than Just Famous Names
While their surnames undoubtedly open doors, this new cohort is working to establish its own identity. They are navigating the intense scrutiny that comes with their inherited fame while simultaneously trying to carve out individual careers. Their presence at a major event like London Fashion Week sparks ongoing debates about privilege, opportunity, and merit within the competitive world of high fashion.
The phenomenon underscores a broader trend within creative industries, where legacy and name recognition continue to play a significant role in shaping the next wave of talent.
