Nicole Richie’s Little Sister Sofia Signs Modelling Contract

These days if you want to be a model, it helps to be a SAD (son and daughter). Just ask Kendall Jenner. On the catwalk you'll spot Jude Law's son, Vivienne Westwood's granddaughter, Clint Eastwood's son, Stephen Baldwin's daughter, Pierce Brosnan's son... we could go on.

We can now add Nicole Richie's little sister to the list - 16-year-old Sofia has according to reports just bagged a contract with Select Model Management. Lionel Richie's daughter or not, Sofia has all of the credentials to be the next Kendall. Including being friends with Kendall. Obviously.

Firstly she's got the model look with her icelandic hair, Angelina lips and catwalk height. But almost as essential as her ability to take a good picture, she has 480,000 followers on Instagram.

Sofia is graced to be more than just another celebrity 'model'. She has already appeared in the pages of Teen Vogue (when she was 14) and Nylon and has had a campaign with swimwear brand Mary Grace Swim. She's appeared on Nicole's reality show Candidly Nicole, has had a cameo in Samantha Ronson's music video and has spent time in the studio.

Oh and just like her sister she'll make you want to dress just like her. Head to herInstagram page for the evidence.
