The mother of Beyoncé and Solange spent years creating costumes for her famous progeny, which then later translated into the now-shuttered fashion label House of Deréon. Bringing a sense of drama and pageantry to ready-to-wear, Mama Knowles (who recently was wed in a chic, white-out of a ceremony) knows how to make anyone look good—especially herself.

She might have gone from being the world’s most famous flight attendant to in-laws with the royals, but Middleton’s style is the modern take on the Sloane Ranger set of the eighties. Instead of a tweed jacket, there’s a nubby cardigan. Skinny cords have been replaced with skinny jeans, but there's one constant: wedges (and oversize shades, of course—those pesky paps!).

Though she’s not quite a momager, Baria Alamuddin's glamorous, jet-setting, and entirely impressive international human rights attorney daughter brought the entire family into the limelight with her when she nabbed the longtime bachelor George Clooney—and **Amal’**s mom is hardly a wallflower. The journalist and broadcaster has appeared on the BBC and on CNN speaking about the Middle East, and she's interviewed countless world leaders including Bill Clinton, Tony Blair, and even Fidel Castro. The secret to her style? Classic chic. Would you expect anything less?
