For better or worse, you can't pick your family. However, since it's National Sibling Day, let's spend the next few minutes fantasizing what a life with these celebrity brothers and sisters might be like. The listed duos (and trios) are raddest of rad, rocking out at the top of their respective fields and inspiring our every outfit, playlist, and movie night. Come to think of it...where can we apply to be related for real?

Mary-Kate, Ashley, and Elizabeth Olsen

I've often wondered why this cruel and unfair life smote me by not letting me be born the third Olsen. But the bitter truth of my un-Olsen existence is soothed by the relentless coolness of 25-year-old Lizzie. She's a flat-out indie bombshell, and since the twins have spurned Hollywood to pursue lives in fashion/ marrying into French diplomacy, she's most likely the only Olsen to be gracing the big screen anytime soon. Look for her in this "Godzilla" this May, or in the constant stream of on-set pics from the "Avengers" sequel she's currently filming.

Poppy and Cara Delevingne

The only thing the fashion loves more than one Delevingne is two. While Cara is the better known name/ face/ eyebrows stateside, her older sister Poppy has quite the career as well, having modeled for the likes of Alberta Ferreti, Burberry and Louis Vuitton. It's a blessed, and highly-Instagrammable life these svelte sisters lead. Le fashionable sigh.

Beyonce and Solange Knowles

She's got empowering tunes, feminist stances, and the smile of an angel. Let's face it, Beyonce is basically the soul sister to all womankind. But her real life kin Solange ain't too shabby either. With a music career, style icon status, and aesthetic identity all her own, Solange just convinces us further that the Knowles family is actually royalty. #BowDown

Maggie and Jake Gyllenhaal

Fun fact: The Gyllenhaals are desendants of Swedish nobility. Somehow this doesn't come as a surprise as they are among Hollywood's classiest players. Not even a T. Swift smear campaign could ruffle the feathers of Maggie and Jake. Nor could it put a dent in our love for them. Swifty may have lyrically alleged that Jake was a shitty boyfriend, but you can't deny he's an adorable brother.

Emily and Zooey Deschanel

While the internet firmly believes there is a conpiracy theory somehow relating Zooey and Katy Perry (Illuminati!), nothing has been proven. The actress/ singer/ manic pixie dream girl does have and older sister though, and they have a lot more in common than just those baby blues. They both have highly crush-worthy costars, and a knack for being the most adorkable, yet sexiest woman in the room. Life isn't fair, but at least with the Deschanels around, it will remain fabulous.

James and Dave Franco

James Franco is a highly divisive figure. Some say he's Mensa. Some say he's mentally unstable. For those who tire of his inexplicable ways, I direct you to his little brother Dave. He's got all the acting talent and chiseled good looks without the puzzling behavior. He hasn't had quite the career his brother has yet, but with three or four films coming out in the next two years, the future's looking good.

Chris and Liam Hemsworth

PHWOAR. GENETICS. Aksjkjfhksjdfhkjdmvnmc;dskjk... #icant.

That's all I really have to say on this matter. But if you're looking for a little more sadistically-beautiful eye candy, it's my duty to inform you there's a third Hemsworth brother. And, as expected, he's downright gorgeous. What do they put in that Australian water?

Dakota and Elle Fanning

It's easy to believe these two are sisters. What's tricky, however, is believing they come from this world. With their ethereal beauty, and fairy-like fashion choices, the Fannings are the closest we may ever come to real-life Disney princesses. Does it help a little to know their real names are Hannah and Mary, respectively? Maybe. But stage names or not, these wunderkinds set the standard for chic amoung young Hollywood.

Kate and Rooney Mara

The only thing more refined than their feminine features is their taste in roles. The Mara sisters, largely unknown before 2011, have made their family name in the industry. While Rooney was finding success in fims like "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" and "Her," Kate perfected the act of the delectably wicked provocoteur with roles on "American Horror Story" and "House Of Cards." With the elder Mara sister switching it up soon to play superhero Sue Storm in the Fantastic Four reboot, it begs the question, is there anything these ladies can't do?

Lily and Alfie Allen

It comes as a shock to some that these two are related. They don't look alike and operate in entirely different industries. Whilst Lily is busy tearing up stereotypes with her cheeky brand of pop music, Alfie is donning medieval garb for his role as Theon Greyjoy on "Game Of Thrones." They've never tried to keep their family relation a secret though, evidenced in the *loving* song Lily wrote about her brother in 2008.

Este, Danielle, and Alana Haim

The coolest sister act to come through music in decades, HAIM is dominating airwaves with their 90s-infused rock and roll. Their cultural takeover is understandable... I mean, who can resist the bass face? Buzzfeed even made it easy to imagine your life amoung Este, Danielle and Alana with a "Which Haim Sister Are You?" quiz. There's no bad answer either, since each gal brings a unqiue aesthetic into the mix. Haim is the most kickass group of three sisters since the "Powerpuff Girls"... and they dress better too.
