Black or White might be Kevin Costner's new movie, but at the Los Angeles premiere for the film on Tuesday, it was the star's wife and daughter who stole the show. In fact, upon first glance at photos from the evening, it's difficult to tell which gorgeous blonde is which.
Both Christine Baumgartner, Kevin's 40-year-old wife, Lily Costner (Kevin's 28-year-old daughter) stood beside him. As stunning as Baumgartner is, however, we couldn't help but be captivated by Lily.

Lily is the second-eldest in a very large, very modern family. Born in 1986 to Kevin and Cindy Costner, Lily has two full siblings (Annie, 30, and Joe, 26) as well as a whopping four much younger half-siblings (Liam, from Kevin's brief relationship with Bridget Rooney, as well as Cayden Wyatt, Hayes Logan, and Grace Avery, whom Kevin shares with Baumgartner).
Though Lily hasn't exactly followed in her father's footsteps to make acting a fulltime career, she has dabbled in Hollywood just the same. She made her silver screen debut when she was just 9 years old in the 1995 film based on the popular tween book series, The Babysitters Club. Two years later, she worked alongside dear old dad in his post-apocalyptic drama, The Postman. It appears that was enough of the movie industry for her however, as she never moved on from child star to grown-up roles (unless you count her serving as Miss Golden Globeback in 2004, which we don't).
Lily regularly spends time offstage with her famous father as well. Her appearance with Kevin at the premiere Tuesday night was hardly her first time on the red carpet. Last October, she stunned in a lace jumpsuit and cat-eye sunglasses at the Rome Film Festival, joining her dad for one of Black or White's first press conferences.
All things considered, though, Lily still flies relatively under the radar — but with those looks and that voice, this may not be the case for long.
