Like mother, like daughter. With Mother's Day just around the corner and the thought of an influx of mother-daughter duos heading to the salon together for a day of pampering, we looked to the stars for some style inspiration for mature women in search of a trendy, age-appropriate look.


Madonna and daughter Lourdes
Lourdes may not be sporting the same wild texture and volume her mother did when she burst onto the scene in the 1980s, but she's still the spitting image of the material mom. Here, the two go sleek for the red carpet, with Lourdes sticking to her naturally near-black color and Madonna showing just the right amount of roots with her usual bright blonde.

Susan Surandon and daughter Eva Amurri
Who doesn't love a natural redhead? How about two natural redheads not only in the same color family but also in the same family family? Though Eva has experimented with deeper reds and some dark browns, Susan has always rocked her naturally auburn color. And that texture? Susan's curls continue to hold up well with age.


Goldie Hawn and daughter Kate Hudson
Those who dye together stay together? These Hollywood relatives have been connected at the hip since Kate began following in her mother's footsteps, which she has also managed to do in the stylist's chair. Kate's beautifully constructed, nearly-ombre at times blonde helps confirm her status as the modernized version of Goldie, who, of course, has stuck with her golden blonde style for decades.


Celebrity Mother-Daughter Styling

Ashlee Simpson and son Bronx
OK, so Bronx isn't a famous daughter, and Ashlee is still a young one, herself. But that hair of his is sure setting him up for rocker stardom. Ashlee's son with musician Pete Wentz inherited his refreshing blonde from his mom, who in recent years crossed back over to the lighter side after experimenting with dark browns and ruby shades.
