SISTERS OF THE SPOTLIGHT: The Jaw-Dropping Lookalikes of Hollywood's Elite

Hollywood's A-listers have always had a knack for making their mark on the big screen, but did you know that many of them have equally talented (and ridiculously gorgeous) siblings waiting in the wings? From Jennifer Garner's adorable childhood snaps with her sisters to Penelope Cruz's stunning younger twin, Monica – we're taking a behind-the-scenes look at the most fascinating sibling relationships in Tinseltown.

Jennifer Garner's Gang

We start with Jennifer Garner, the star of Alias and 13 Going on 30. The actress shared an adorable throwback photo with her sisters Susannah and Melissa on Instagram in 2021. The trio was rocking their signature bangs (or lack thereof) as they posed together in a quilted vest and white top combo. "Discussion points: 1. Garner girls + bangs = lifelong struggle," she quipped, referencing the family's infamous hairdo battle.

But it wasn't just Jennifer who got the spotlight – her sisters Susannah and Melissa are also models and have walked the runway for major designers. In fact, Susannah even starred in a Calvin Klein campaign back in 2010! Who knew that this talented trio was waiting to burst onto the scene?

Katie Holmes' Family Ties

Garner has praised her sisters on National Siblings Day

Meanwhile, Katie Holmes has been keeping busy with her family – including her three sisters, Tamera, Holly, and Nancy. The actress shared a rare photo of the four siblings attending one of her Broadway performances in 2024. "My sisters and me," she captioned the shot, complete with a heart emoji.

But what's even more fascinating is that Katie's siblings are all keeping a low profile – unlike their famous sister. In fact, only Tamera has made appearances on red carpet events alongside Katie. We wonder: will we see more of these talented sisters in the spotlight soon?

JLo's Lookalike Sisters

Jennifer Lopez may have had a string of high-profile romances (Ben Affleck, anyone?) but her sisters Lynda and Leslie are just as stunning – if not more so! The singer shared a flashback photo with both sisters to celebrate International Women's Day in 2022.

Lynda, it turns out, is a journalist and author based in New York City. Meanwhile, Leslie-Ann keeps a private Instagram account where she refers to herself as "Musician, LMT, mother to Brendon Scholl of Draw With Me." Sounds like there's more to this siren than meets the eye!

Penelope Cruz's Mini-Me

Now, let's talk about Penelope Cruz – one of Hollywood's most beloved actresses. But did you know that she has a younger sister who looks almost identical? Monica Cruz may not be as famous as her sibling (yet), but she's made waves in her own right.

In 2011, Monica worked as Penelope's body double on the set of Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. Talk about sibling solidarity! And if you thought that was impressive, just wait until you hear this – Penelope and Monica have collaborated on numerous fashion projects, including a jewelry and handbag line for Samantha Thavasa.

Cameron Diaz's Childhood Pal

In 2021 Holmes posted this picture of her and her sisters

Who would've thought that Cameron Diaz, the gorgeous star of There's Something About Mary and The Mask, has an older sister who looks almost identical? Meet Chimene Cain – the elder sibling who grew up with Cameron in Long Beach, California.

Chimene may not have become a Hollywood star herself (at least, not yet!), but she's got her own claim to fame: being Cameron's childhood confidante! "Sisters have an incredibly strong bond," Cameron once gushed to the New York Daily News. We couldn't agree more!

Mamie Gummer and Sisterly Love

Now we take a trip down memory lane with Meryl Streep's daughter, Mamie Gummer – who bears a striking resemblance to her mom (and sister, no less!). Meet Grace Gummer, the actress who's made waves on the small screen with her roles in The Good Wife and Extant.

The two sisters may not be as identical as some of their celebrity counterparts (ahem, Penelope Cruz and Monica!), but they're just as talented – and adorable. In fact, Mamie even shared a photo of the two hugging at an event, captioned: "When you've got sister love 🤗".

Dakota Fanning's Mini-Me

Katie has taken her family to her premieres including to her 2015 film Touched With Fire where she was photographed with mother Kathleen and sisters Tamera and Holly Ann

And lastly, we have Dakota Fanning – one half of the stunning sibling duo that includes Elle Fanning. The younger Fanning sister is best known for her role in Maleficent opposite Angelina Jolie (talk about sibling rivalry!), but what's even more fascinating is their adorable friendship.

In a 2017 interview with Marie Claire, Dakota revealed: "When I was younger, we didn't have much of a bond because of the age difference... But now we're much closer." And it shows – just take a look at their Instagram feed for proof!

Kate Mara and Rooney Mara: Two Sides to the Same Coin

Jennifer Lopez has two look-alike sisters but she hardly ever shares photos with them. Seen with her younger sister Lynda Lopez and older sister Leslie Lopez. From left, Leslie, Jennifer and Lynda

Last but certainly not least, let's talk about Kate Mara – who bears an uncanny resemblance to her sister, Rooney Mara (The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo anyone?). While Kate is known for her roles in House of Cards and Fantastic Four, Rooney has carved out her own niche with critically-acclaimed performances in Carol and Women Talking.

But did you know that the two sisters have led very different lives? "We have really different personalities," Kate once revealed to a reporter. "Rooney's always been more artistic... whereas I've always been more of an actress." Talk about sibling rivalry!

Michelle Pfeiffer's Sisterly Squad

Lopez performed on stage during her concert in Istanbul on August 5

And finally, let's wrap up with Michelle Pfeiffer – one of Hollywood's most beloved actresses. The Scarface star has two talented sisters: Dedee and Lori Ann.

Dedee, as it turns out, is a horror film actress in her own right! (Creepy, we know!) Meanwhile, Lori worked behind the camera as a production assistant on Into the Night – talk about sisterly solidarity!

But Michelle's most famous sibling collaboration has got to be with her daughter, Claudia Rose. The two even acted together in the 2001 film I Could Never Be Your Woman. We wonder: will we see more of these talented families in the spotlight soon?

Cindy Crawford's Family Affair

Last but certainly not least, let's talk about Cindy Crawford – one half of the stunning sibling duo that includes Chris and Danielle.

In a rare family photo shared on Instagram back in 2021, Cindy captioned: "So nice to be reunited with my mom and sisters. Love you guys ❤️." But did you know that one of her brothers, Jeffery, sadly passed away at just three years old due to childhood leukemia? Talk about sibling love!

Cruz has made rare comments in 2023 about her sister Monica who looks just like her. Seen in a Mango ad from 2008

As we wrap up our journey through the world of Hollywood's most fascinating siblings, it's clear: family ties are what make these stars shine even brighter. Stay tuned for more juicy gossip and behind-the-scenes peeks into the lives of Tinseltown's most beloved families!
