The Most Fashion Forward Children of Black Celebs

These celeb children are giving their parents a run for their money when it comes to their style.

With New York Fashion Week in full force, it’s fair that we recognize the children of some of the high-profile celebrities who will be attending these runway shows. And why not? It seems they were born with a good sense of style in their own right.

While some of these picks may get help from their parents from time to time, they continue to show that they have a future in the fashion industry.

It’s no surprise that Blue Ivy is on this list, considering she damn near outshined her mother during the Renaissance Tour with her outfits and dance moves.

Zaya Wade has been making waves in the fashion space for some years now. Although she’s only 17 years old, she’s always stood out for her unique and elegant approach to getting dressed.

At only 5, Kaavia James Union Wade has already established herself as a fashionable young lady. But to be fair, she’s probably getting help from her parents, but we are sure she approves it.

The oldest daughter of Barack and Michelle Obama has grown into an independent young woman who’s found her comfort zone with her classic but sometimes boho and edgy style.

Jaden comes from a high-profile family, so he’s had to always pay attention to how he looks in public. But he’s been able to grow and evolve his style into something very unique to him.

Jaden’s younger sister, Willow, has become a true icon. Everything about her persona is unique to her, including her music and fashion sense.

We knew the star QB for the University of Colorado could have a career in fashion after he took center stage at Pharrell’s Louis Vuitton Show in January 2024.

Deion Sanders’ older son also showed out at this Louis Vuitton Show at the top of the year, revealing that he can do more than just tackle a guy with a ball.

North West has been putting on fits without the help of Kanye for some time now. But the cool part is that she’ll still pay homage to some of his most iconic and memorable outfits. Like this Pastelle jacket that her dad once wore in the mid-2000s.

Egypt is a very talented kid who has already shown potential in music and fashion.

Okay, this may be cheating because our girl is a fashionista in her own right, but her parents are big-time celebs, so we felt it was appropriate. Like Jaden and Willow, Zoe has been able to find a style that differs from her parents’.
