We thought it was just Gigi and Bella modelling in the Hadid family, but now it seems their younger 16-year-old brother, Anwar, is about to step into the limelight. 

Making his modelling debut in the October issue of Nylon magazine, Anwar looks just as good as his sisters while striking a pose. 

In the interview, he talks about his family and gives Gigi and Bella their due shoutout. 

"My sisters are awesome; they probably taught me everything I ever need to know about girls."

“My family is my foundation, my mom is very liberal, but also old-fashioned when it comes to manners. She taught me to always be kind and treat others with respect.”

But famous family and friends aside – Anwar is just your average 16-year-old guy. 

“I admire people who can laugh at themselves and I get excited about anything from girls, cars, and climbing mountains to really good food.” 

But even though the younger Hadid is happy to model for now, he plans to go to college soon and decide on a profession then, because right now it “is too hard to imagine.”

Immy Waterhouse is enjoying her last few months of being unknown.

Of course, the teen has had a few cameras in her face over the years, but it's mostly been in the vein of have-you-met-Suki's-sister?

As Hollywood is going crazy over star sister duos lately, (Dakota and Elle, Beyoncé and Solange, Cara and Poppy), it'll be no surprise that Immy could be the next big thing… and she's just landed a huge film role.

Speaking to Harper's Bazaar, Immy told them all about her big break, and how she's feeling about it all.

"I'm moving to Los Angeles soon, because I've gotten a small role in Tom Ford's next film, Nocturnal Animals," she explained.

"I've never met him, but I loved his last movie [A Single Man]. It was so beautiful and so well done.

"I auditioned through video tape so I've actually not met him yet. Should I be nervous?" 

But despite any possible nerves, the blonde beauty said she has only heard good things.

"My friend Georgia [May Jagger] worked with him on a fragrance campaign and she said he was super nice."

Immy will appear alongside Jake Gyllenhaal and Amy Adams in the new flick – but before she was confirmed for the gig, she had to show Mr Ford her best American accent. 

"Do you know how all British actors learn how to speak American?" she asks.

"From Friends."

"If you listen to any British actor, even the really big ones, when they're playing American people, they probably sound like Rachel or Monica. 

"Friends is so huge over here that we just watch it all the time."

She finished the interview on a rather strange, but charming, note.

"I love facts and I love sharks. Like, did you know there's a really cool shark named the Greenland Shark?

"It lives its whole life with a parasite in its eye, and eventually, the parasite turns the shark completely blind. There you go. That's something I bet no other actress can tell you."

Something tells us we're going to be seeing a lot more of Immy Waterhouse… and her shark obsession.

Hitting the age of 50 is a milestone and definitely worthy of a few things, but in Cindy Crawford's case, that translates into writing a book. 

The model is writing all about her glittering career in the fashion industry and reflecting on the wisdom she has picked up along the way ahead of her landmark birthday next February.

But in the book, it's not all glitz and glam as you thought it would be, she also tells some of the downside's to having a modelling career.

"Unfortunately I was never one of those girls who could eat whatever I wanted and not gain weight (damn you Kate Moss!)," the Super writes in the tome, entitled  Becoming, reports Style

"Of course as soon as I told myself that I wasn't going to eat any sugar, bread, or whatever, all I could think of was sugar, bread or whatever!"

"I have finally settled on the idea of being 80 per cent good 80 per cent of the time. For me, that's doable."

There's a strong sense in the book that Cindy wants to raise awareness for what she believes in. 

"To my mind, the most important message I can promote and exemplify is one that supports diversity and health."

Cindy's book, Becoming, will hit shelves in the this month.

Daniel Day Lewis might hide from the spotlight but that is certainly not stopping his son, Gabriel, from standing out in the crowd. 

The 20 year-old just landed a major modelling campaign for Parisian store, Galeries Lafayette

Gabriel, who is the son of two-time Oscar winner Daniel and French actress Isabelle Adjani, is signed up to the major American modelling agency, IMG Models

Commenting on his new campaign, Gabriel wrote on Twitter: "Literally so happy to be a part of this campaign. I used to shop at Galeries Lafayette when I was a kid.. Ironic haha."

The model is no stranger to high-profile fashion work though as he accompanied Julianne Moore down the Chanel Haute Couture runway earlier this year, while also shooting for Calvin Klein

As the years go on, Gabriel is looking more and more like his father.

Over the summer he stepped out the Vogue Paris Foundation Gala, with a look extremely similar to Daniel. 

It seems things are on the up for the budding supermodel!

Some of you might know Grace Dunham, Lena Dunham's 23 year-old sister, from Lena's indie film Tiny Furniture.

She looks COMPLETELY different now though (this was her in 2010) . 

For those of you that don't, she's a poet, activist and actress (yep, she's been confirmed to appear on the upcoming season of Girls). 

Last night, Grace made her modelling debut at New York Fashion Week, walking in one of the coolest catwalks in town, Eckhaus Latta

Eckhaus Latta was founded in 2011 and is known as an underground fashion favourite. 

The label are famous for using trans-gender models and are widely known for its sustainability and performance art-like presentations. 

"I'm friends with Mike (Eckhaus) and Zoe (Latta)," Dunham told Elle following the show.

"I know them from around, and they just reached out and asked me if I wanted to do it."

But it seems like Grace didn't have a very eventful trip down the catwalk!

"I didn't have my glasses on, so I couldn't see anything."

"I was trying to think about what Mike said. He was like, 'Chain from the top of your head to the ceiling, shoulders back, walking like you're like you're listening to music."

In the show, Grace took part in #freeingthenipple campaign, but it didn't stop her from killing it on the runway. 

"It was cool; I don't mind showing my boobs," she said.

Describing herself as a 'positive body activist' as well as a model, she is the size-26 beauty who has shaken up the fashion industry.

And now Tess Holliday – sometimes dubbed the world's first plus-sized supermodel – has decided to really push the boat out, posing up entirely nude.

In the gorgeous Instagram snap, which has notched up 42,000 likes since being posted, the 30-year-old includes an inspiring message for her fans.

"My relationship with my body is a journey, not a destination. I appreciate & honor what's it's done for me, & the life it brought into the world.

"I couldn't give a monkeys if you find me attractive or if my body offends you."

Ms Holliday recently criticised the likes of Victoria's Secret for not carrying larger sizes.

"Growing up in Mississippi, I definitely remember Victoria's Secret being a huge part of my teenage mall experience, but I couldn't really fit into any of the underwear," she told MTV News.

"I've never actually worn anything from there. I've never been able to." 

She added: "But I think to have the biggest lingerie retailer in the world carry plus-size lingerie would be a huge step in the right direction and an accomplishment, not just for the industry, but for women in general." 

Tess went on to state: "The bottom line is that there's this pervasive feeling that fat girls aren't supposed to feel sexy, and that needs to change.

"It's something plus-size women are constantly messaged – either overtly or subconsciously – and that shows in a lack of options for lingerie." 

At 1.65m tall, Ms Holliday weighs around 130kg. She first pursued her career at the age of 15, but didn't start modelling professionally until 2007. 

She has worked with Benefit cosmetics and H&M and has appeared in Nylon and Vogue Italia.

As it turns out, it might not be that hard to look like a Victoria's Secret Angel.

Well… kind of.

Yes, we might not all be blessed with supermodel good looks, but we can certainly copy their beauty routine. 

South African Angel, Candice Swanepol, shared her beauty secrets with the world in her latest Vogue interview. 

In it, she revealed her top tips for achieving fresh-looking, blemish-free skin – and it's not actually all that hard. 

Indeed, Candice said that she relies on natural products to ensure she's always catwalk-ready.

"Because I wear a lot of make-up for work it's really important to keep my skin clean after work so I use a great natural face wash, tea tree oil and green tea".

"I use organic coconut oil to take my make-up off, I also add it to my smoothies to keep my skin glowing.

"It's a great all round natural beauty product."

Great for us so, as Vita Coco has just released their all-new coconut oil. We're half way there with you now, Candice!

She also revealed that she NEVER sleeps with her make up on (well, duh) to ensure her face is flawless. 

Having being scouted by a model agency when she was just a teenager, Candice has since walked the runway for big names such as Donna Karan and Michael Kors. She also fronted major campaigns for the likes of Nike. 

So it is no wonder that along the way she has picked up a wealth of insider beauty knowledge. As Max Factor's latest celebrity ambassador, the supermodel will be working with the world-renowned make up artist, Pat McGrath. 

"Pat McGrath taught me all about contouring, which is really big right now," she said. 

And if you want to get a body like Candice too, she thanks yoga, boxing and Pilates. 

We think we might just start using our coconut oil and yoga mats out now… supermodel beauty, here we come!

She made waves when she was announced as one of the new Victoria's Secret models in April of this year and now Russian beauty Kate Grigorieva has wed her sweetheart Alexander in a romantic ceremony in St. Peterberg, Russia.

The bride wore a dress from Zac Posen's bridal line in David's Bridal shop, and it did not disappoint. The dress was a fitted lace trumpet style and featured a sheer neckline and full length sleeves. The bride teamed her dress with a cathedral length lace veil. 

Her honey blonde hair was styled into a romantic low bun with her fringe swept to the side… perfection.

We feel Kate's bridesmaids also have to get a mention too, as they all looked stunning in mixture of purple dresses. 

Before the model rose to fame with Victoria's Secret she was previously a contestant on Russia's Next Top Model – where she came second – and also took part in Miss Russia 2012.

We wish all the best for the happy couple!

We are so used to having flawless, thin models advertise the best fashion in the business.

But what happens when your every-day woman dips her hand into high-end modelling? 

Nathalie Croquet is a former fashion photo editor who recently took a turn being in front of the camera rather than behind it.

Her aim was to parody high-fashion campaigns to see what she would look like dressed and draped in some of the most expensive clothing in the world. She called the piece Spoof and ripped-off designers such as Givenchy and Isabel Marant.

Although the photos are supposed to be a bit of a laugh, her real reason behind the stint was to raise viewers awareness to think critically about the images of women we are so used to seeing in front of us.

Earlier this week the mother of an Irish school girl was heavily criticised for allowing her daughter to pursue her modelling career.

Darcy-Brittain-Dissont, from Co. Down is 13-years old and found herself in the middle of huge controversy when it emerged that she would be walking in the Belfast Fashion Week. She had been signed to the CMPR modelling agency.

Wow! Meet 13 year old Darcy – #cmprmodel's newest signing! This is from her recent test shoot with photographer Gavin…

Posted by Belfast Fashion Week on Wednesday, 5 August 2015

Her mother, Brenda McCleary spoke to Evoke.ie about how she had apparently angered many parents by allowing her daughter to model and how she was in full support of Darcy’s decision.

“I fully approve of Darcy’s desire to model for CMPR and would support her 100%.”

She also went on to say that modelling is something Darcy wants to do in her spare time and they will encourage the teenager who she described as “academically strong.”

The owner of the CMPR agency Cathy Martin has said that the story was blown out of proportion and noted that Darcy would not be placed in situations deemed unsuitable for a teenage girl.

Darcy’s modelling career sparked some controversy when it was compared to the choice of fashion house Dior to use a model who was only 14 to be the face of their label but Cathy feels it is not the same situation. “It is not like the Dior model who was in a sheer dress and walking with adult models," she said.

Sofia Mechetner’s appearance on the runway for the label was contested when she was dressed in a sheer gown which many found too revealing for a young girl.

Darcy’s mom and Cathy Martin have insisted that “No one is exploited. No one is sexualised.”

Speaking with the Belfast Telegraph Darcy admitted she thinks a lot of the controversy surrounding her appearance at Belfast Fashion Week concerns her age. She notes in an interview that Kate Moss started modelling young too so it is not uncommon in the industry.

Supermodel Naomi Campbell has been convicted of assaulting a paparazzo.

She scratched the photographer’s eye during the incident, which happened in Sicily six years ago.

The Londoner was handed down a six-month sentence by an Italian court on Friday – though it’s unlikely she’ll see the inside of a prison cell: the term has been suspended.

And according to The Telegraph, her lawyer has also vowed to appeal.

"We are appealing the ruling surrounding the 2009 incident," attorney Guido Carlo Alleva said in a brief statement.

Gaetano Di Giovanni was taking pictures of the model with her then-boyfriend, Russian billionaire Vladimir Doronin, in the Sicilian town of Lipari when Campbell hit him with her bag.

The outburst resulted in a scratch to Mr Di Giovanni's eye, causing him to seek medical treatment and take three days off work to recover from the injury.

Ms Campbell had been ordered to stand trial in Italy in 2013.

And while she reportedly reached a financial settlement with the photographer on condition that he withdraw the charges, the public prosecutor nevertheless proceeded with a conviction due to the severity of the incident.

Back in 1998, Naomi, who boasts a 30-year career in modelling, was ordered by a court to attend anger-management classes after striking her personal assistant with a mobile phone.

In 2008 she admitted attacking police at Heathrow in a row over lost luggage.

The world of modelling has just been exposed in the most hilarious way by model and Instagram queen, Tilda Lindstam. 

Tilda is a 22-year-old Swedish model who moved to New York to pursue her career as a high end fashion model, and wow is she getting places. 

But the thing we like most about her isn't her catwalk or cover shots, it's her Instagram account. 

Tilda has completely changed that conception that the world of models is a totally glamorous one with her snaps of constantly board sitting on airplanes, tiny changing areas backstage at fashion shows and looking unimpressed while people put make up on her. 

This gal really isn't your typical model..

"Thank you @Dior for having me walk naked in the show yesterday and thank you to these three unimpressed cameramen for keep me down to earth"

 

She know's her job isn't your average run-of-the-mill job..

"I got drunk backstage at the @Dior show and made a stranger take this photo of me and two sleeping angels. Thank you and I'm sorry"

 

And she likes to make fun of it..

"A stranger safety pinning my butt rn"
