SUMMER SCIONS

10 Celebrity Kids Who Are Having a Better Summer Than You

From Paris Jackson to Anwar Hadid, here’s who to follow this summer if you want to feel FOMO.


Every Friday is a summer Friday if you’ve got a famous last name. Unless you’re Malia Obama, that is, who got a summer internship (sort of) like the rest of us. But if you’re, say, Talita Von Furstenberg, the granddaughter of fashion designer Diane Von Furstenberg, or Ava Dash, the daughter of Rachel Roy and Damon Dash—both of whom recently graduated from high school and are quickly on their way to having modeling careers—then you’re permanently OOO, but, of course, never off the grid.

Modeling is, perhaps, their most frequent occupation, but that doesn’t take up every waking moment. Pamela Anderson’s son Brandon Thomas Lee, for example, walked in the most recent Dolce & Gabbana men’s show in Milan alongside Hillary Clinton’s nephew, Tylor Clinton, but that doesn’t mean he’s fully booked for the whole summer. In fact, shortly after the show he flew on a private plane to Las Vegas to celebrate his 21st birthday with his model girlfriend, Pyper America Smith—who also happens to be Lucky Blue Smith’s sister.

Anwar Hadid, Lily-Rose Depp, and Paris Jackson are all also doing odd jobs this summer, and with paychecks of their own, they’ve got even more reason to hit the beach instead of starting a lemonade stand. Frances Bean Cobain, however, is busy making and selling art, but she’s never been one to conform.
