THEY dominated the charts in the Nineties and some are bidding to do it again.
But the Kings and Queens of Britpop better watch out – their offspring are the new kids on the block.
These A-list nepo babies are making their mark in showbiz, ruling the worlds of music, fashion and art.
From the Spice baby turned artist to the fitness fanatic who now towers above his boyband star dad, take Emma Pietras’ quiz to match each starlet to their famous parents.

HE looks exactly like his rocker father did when he hit the big time in the Nineties.
But earlier this week, he unveiled his wild transformation as he joined his EastEnders star mum at a London Fashion Week show sporting bleached blond hair.
In April, the 25-year-old recalled how he got into the industry, saying: “At 16, I was walking down the streets of Brick Lane [East London] wearing an army jacket and was stopped by a scouter from an agency.
“When I got home, I told my mum and she gave me some contacts. Before long, I signed a contract with Models 1.”

HER mum is a Nineties It Girl turned entrepreneur who is best friends with Kate Moss, while her dad is one half of one of the world’s biggest bands.
So it perhaps comes as no surprise that this 24-year-old’s career was set to go Supersonic.
The rising star – who went public with her boyfriend, It’s A Sin actor Callum Scott Howells, earlier this year – works as a model and influencer.
She boasts 259,000 Instagram followers and often posts sweet snaps of her and her dad – who even roped her in to film him and the High Flying Birds while they recorded at the studio.

ONE of her dad’s biggest hits was a cover of country song When You Say Nothing At All.
But this 23-year-old has made a living out of her voice – just like him.
The Dublin-born brunette is an actress and has competed on Ireland’s Dancing With The Stars, the Irish version of Strictly.
She even secretly auditioned for a spot on The Voice in 2019, thinking her former Irish boy band member dad would disapprove.
However, she failed to make it past the audition round.
Let’s hope her famous father taught her that Life Is A Rollercoaster.

HIS parents are Nineties legends, so it is little surprise this 23-year-old has followed in their footsteps and forged a career as a DJ.
He says he “doesn’t care” if people call him a nepo-baby, insisting: “My music speaks for itself and I do not have to prove it to anyone.”
The up-and-coming star also appears on Celebrity Gogglebox with his former Nineties ladette turned Radio 2 presenter mum.
And he has claimed that his parents’ wild, all-night parties gave him hearing condition tinnitus at the age of 12.

HAVING turned her hand to modelling and DJ-ing, she is now a professional artist, so it is fair to say this 25-year-old is no wannabe.
We revealed that she is set to star in a Channel 4 documentary, which follows her and other new artists as they bid to break into the industry.
She also bears a Scary resemblance to her famous Mama – which happens to be the name of a 1996 hit for her mother’s group.
And as a baby, she even appeared in the music video for another of her mum’s Top 20 singles.

HE may only be 17, but this lad is no longer a Baby – much like his Spice Girl mum.
His pop star parent, who also shares 13-year-old Tate with her ex-boy band member husband, tends to keep her kids off social media.
But she made an exception when she shared a snap with her eldest to celebrate his 16th birthday last year.
At the time, the teenager also posted his own picture revealing he has a girlfriend and, like him, she has famous parents.
His sweetheart, Grace Freeman, is the daughter of actors Martin Freeman and Amanda Abbington.

HER rock star dad’s band sang Don’t Look Back In Anger, but this 26-year-old seems to be in an Oasis of calm.
Conceived following her father’s affair with her singer mum, she revealed that she is “not bitter” about his 20-year absence from her life.
In 2019, she said: “I don’t have any anger. I’m actually thankful for how I was brought up with my mum and how my life’s been.
“I wouldn’t be who I am now if… it’s all happened the way it was meant to happen. I’m happy to have him now.”
The brunette beauty is a model who kicked off her career at Select Models.

WITH his cheeky grin, this lad is the double of his dad when he first rose to fame with one of Britain’s best-loved boy bands.
But the 24-year-old isn’t such a mini-me as, at around 6ft 2in, he dwarfs his 5ft 7in father.
The pair enjoy working out together, and the younger man has won plenty of admirers with his buff body.

HER dad is a Britpop star whose band were Oasis’s nemesis – and this frontman’s 24-year-old daughter is a chip off the old block.
She was spotted in a rare public appearance with her old man at London Fashion Week.
And last year they both looked stylish at the same event in co-ordinated patterned outfits as they attended the Burberry Spring Summer 2024 show.
This starlet often posts artsy shots with ironic captions on her Instagram account, which has 53,000 followers.
In 2021, it was revealed she was running a London homeware store called West Town with her dad.

MUSIC is in this youngster’s blood as his parents featured in two of the most successful groups of the 1990s.
Given his Genes, it is perhaps unsurprising the 23-year-old now fronts an indie rock outfit himself – and is set to support his famous father’s band on tour.
He has already been his dad’s warm-up act when the singer hit the road as a solo artist – but reportedly had to audition to land the gig.
The lad was said to have been named by his All Saints mum after the frontman of US rockers Kiss.
However his dad claims the moniker is actually a nod to the “King of Swing”.

AS a member of one of the UK’s biggest-selling girl groups, her famous mum made combat trousers and a cropped vest top an iconic look in the late Nineties and early Noughties.
But this starlet, 25, loves to change her image regularly and has been seen with red, blonde and pink hair.
The budding singer, whose dad is Jamiroquai’s ex-bass player, even studied music at London’s Sylvia Young Theatre School like her chart-topping mum – who performed a Hyde Park gig while pregnant with her daughter.
In 2022, the rising star released music under the name Myrrhmaid.

HER former pop star dad has nothing to feel Blue about because his daughter is a talented performer.
The 19-year-old began following in her father’s showbiz footsteps from a young age and landed a place at the Royal Ballet School aged 11.
He said at the time: “I couldn’t be more proud. Over 2,000 girls auditioned and there were only 12 places and she got one.”
She is now working as a professional dancer, and has appeared in The Nutcracker at the Royal Opera House.
No doubt her famous father will be hollering “All Rise” at the end of her shows.

WITH his long hair and casual sense of style, this 24-year-old bears a striking resemblance to his singer-songwriter dad in his Nineties heyday.
The youngster is also a musician and, much like his father, tries to keep a low profile when not making music.
But the guitarist did join his two-time Ivor Novello-winner parent on stage at the Royal Albert Hall for a performance of his former band’s 1997 hit, Bitter Sweet Symphony, three years ago.
His mum is also in showbiz, having played keyboard for an English rock band formed in 1990.
14
HER dad is true rock royalty, but perhaps this 29-year-old just said I Want To Break Free as she has followed her mum into modelling.
The blonde bombshell shared a dorm with supermodel Cara Delevingne at boarding school in Hampshire, worked A Kind Of Magic to get into modelling aged 17, and starred in a sexy lingerie campaign by London brand Bluebella in 2016.
She said at the time: “I am not a super-skinny, 6ft 10in giraffe model, but I am completely comfortable with my body as it is.”
She has revealed she was teased at school for listening to her dad’s band.
