Gigi Hadid & Bella Hadid — Gigi, 19, has already landed her fair share of magazine covers, starred in editorials for everyone from “Vogue” to “Sports Illustrated,” walked too many fashion shows to count, and scored a major cosmetics contract (Maybelline). Baby sister Bella, just one year her junior, has just started out, but she’s already posed for “Teen Vogue,” “CR Fashion Book,” and “Elle” UK. And the two pulled a sister act in LA earlier this year, when both walked Tom Ford’s fall/winter 2015 fashion show.

Kendall & Kylie Jenner — Kendall Jenner, 19, is arguably the world’s most in demand model at this particular moment. From reality co-star to fashion week week fixture, she’s the face of brands from Esteé Lauder to Fendi—but Kylie’s catching up. The 17-year-old was hand-picked by brother-in-law Kanye West to walk (or march?) in his Adidas show at New York Fashion Week this past February and she landed a spot in “CR Fashion Book,” just before she landed the cover of “Teen Vogue.”

Cara & Poppy Delevingne — For being so close, Cara and Poppy Delevingne couldn’t be more different: Cara’s known for her tomboy guise and strong eyebrows, Poppy for her feminine features. But fashion loves them both, and even at six years apart, the two are each other’s biggest cheerleader. When Cara, 22, won Model of the Year and the 2014 British Fashion Awards, Poppy took to the stage to say: “'With those eyebrows, long limbs and feline eyes, you have captured the heart of this industry. But to me, you are much more than that. To the brightest star in my galaxy and the Model of the Year, Cara Delevingne.”

Kate & Lottie Moss — To follow in the footsteps of the legendary Kate Moss is no easy feat, but 17-year-old Lottie (formally known as Charlotte) is well on her way. Like her 40-year-old half-sister, Lottie posed for Dazed magazine (which was founded by older sis Kate’s baby daddy) and for Calvin Klein, the brand that launched Kate’s career at 18.

Suki & Immy Waterhouse — Now that Suki Waterhouse is a household name in fashion, it’s time to pay attention Immy. The 20-year-old fresh face signed with her big sister’s agency, Next Model Management, in November of last year. She told Vogue that Suki’s been a major inspiration: “Suki has shown me that hard work pays off and rejection is a big part of it. Like Suki, I'm not typical height-wise for a model so she advised me to just forget about those stereotypes.”

Missy & Frankie Rayder — Despite fronting high-fashion campaigns and walking in many fashion week shows, the all-American ‘90s models are best remembered for their Gap holiday ad of the early 2000s, in which they appeared alongside each other clad in stripes. “The New York Times” referred to the two as “The Rayder Sisters,” solidifying their collective identity.

Lily & Ruby Aldridge — Everyone knows Lily Aldridge from the Victoria’s Secret runway, but she’s shared her secrets with younger sister, Ruby, who’s fronted campaigns for DKNY and Coach, opened Marc Jacobs, and closed Lanvin.

Langley Fox & Dree Hemingway — As if being the great-granddaughters of Ernest Hemingway wasn’t cool enough, Langley Fox and Dree Hemingway are fashion forces to be reckoned with. Langley, 26, has fronted a Marc Jacobs fragrance campaign and been commissioned to illustrate for brands like Alice+Olivia and Louis Vuitton. Dree, 28, debuted on Givenchy’s 2009 runway. Now she’s a “Vogue” regular and budding actress; she stars in this month’s “While We’re Young” alongside Naomi Watts and Ben Stiller.

Edie & Olympia Campbell — “If it was the only thing that both of us did then maybe there'd be a bit of rivalry, but since our interests and talents are so different outside of fashion it doesn't really faze me,” Olympia, who’s mother was once a fashion editor at Vogue, told The Independent in 2013. “It's actually very nice because it makes it all much friendlier and less business-y. It also means if I ever need to ask anyone how anything works, I can just ring Edie up and she'll tell me.”

Lizzy & Georgia May Jagger — Of course Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall spawned two of the world’s most beautiful people. Lizzy and Georgia May Jagger (31 and 23) are fashion favorites. Georgia May scored a Chanel campaign and a British Vogue cover before turning 20-years-old. Lizzy made her big-break when she walked for Thierry Mugler in 1998. In 2002, she signed as the face of Lancome, and has also appeared in a Tommy Hilfiger campaign.

Alexandra and Dessi Pavlova — The Bulgarian twin models often appear side-by-side in campaigns and on magazine covers.

Adwoa & Kesewa Aboah — One might argue that being born to parents who own modeling/photography/editorial agencies could help catapult their modeling careers, but there’s so much more to Adwoa and Kesewa Aboah. The Ghanaian/English sisters have appeared in campaigns for major brands like H&M and Loewe. They’ve also been photographed by Steven Meisel and starred in British Vogue, Italian Vogue, and Love magazine.

If you’ve made it as a model, you’ve won the genetic lottery. Which means if anyone else out there shares your genes, they probably hold a similar ticket. And that’s just one reason fashion loves a pair of model sisters.

The industry waited with bated breath for Kate Moss’s younger sister, Lottie, to break out. Now both have posed for Calvin Klein—22 years apart. Missy and Frankie Rayder were the ones to watch in the ‘90s, fronting a shortlist of campaigns for Chanel, Versace, and Prada. Then there’s Lily and Ruby Aldridge. One’s a VS Angel and the other’s more downtown punk, but the two were photographed together for Vogue. Cara and Poppy Delevingne might be the most famous high fashion model pair right now, the sophisticated British version of Kylie and Kendall Jenner. But there are plenty more! Here’s a list of fashion’s favorite model sisters.
