Sophia, born and raised in Los Angeles, joined top modelling agency, Select Model Management, adding to the impressive rosta of Agyness Deyn, Irina Shayk, Jessica Hart and Pixie Geldof

Sofia, who says she was a "serious tomboy" when she was younger, also takes fashion advice from her stylish older sister.

"Fifty per cent of my interest in fashion is Nicole," she said. "She's taught me to be myself with my style."

And by the sounds of it, Nicole has inspired her with her career too!

"Eventually I want to be a designer," Sofia says. "My collection would be high-end, no cheap materials, but good quality that's worth buying and having in your closet".

She also reveals her obsession with one particular supermodel: "I have an obsession with Gisele. It's really bad, I want to be her. Her Instagram is too good…That whole life! It's too good".
