Oh Mother, where art thou?

Right here… These celebrity offspring love accessorising with Mum

Model mums

1. At her old mate Fran Cutler’s birthday in 2013, Kate Moss sneaks a speedy fag while her mother, Linda, is distracted by the camera.

2. In a dark, slow-burning attempt to treble the size of her wardrobe, the tall, svelte supermodel Yolanda Hadid has successfully raised the tall, svelte supermodels Gigi (left) and Bella Hadid.

3. Supermodel Natalia Vodianova, pictured with her mother Larisa in 2014, is enjoying the novelty of being allowed to smile in front of a camera.

Mummy’s boys

4. Leonardo Dicaprio’s mother Irmelin Indenbirken named him after da Vinci, having felt his first kick while standing in front of one of the Old Master’s paintings. Here they are at the Oscars in 2014 – and don’t they look a picture?

5. ‘Donna Gosling’ sounds like an ad for a goose-feather garment. But she’s also actor Ryan’s mother, and here they are at a film premiere in January 2013.

6. Think you’ve got motherin-law problems? Pity Irina Shayk, the girlfriend of Bradley Cooper. Here he is in 2015 with his mother, Gloria Campano, who has shared a house with him for years.

Mini-me dressing

7. Keira Knightley applies the art of method acting to an upcoming role as a teen dropout in New York. Her mother, Sharman Macdonald, lends a hand.

8. And here is a rare image of an adult disco ball taking her baby to school. So! Mother’s Day is tomorrow, and – huh? You didn’t know? Oh boy. Oh boy, oh boy. You are in a pickle. You have 24 hours in which to brainstorm Things Your Mum Likes, and I myself have only managed to steal a march on you because I was asked to write this column two weeks ago. Scour the cupboards for unopened chocolates. Pray that the petrol station forecourts aren’t flush out of bouquets. Scatter a lifetime of Happy Birthdays in your wake as you ferret through card aisles for a Happy Mother’s Day. As for me: the flowers are in the post, Mum. —Tom Ough
