She's

Hailey Baldwin, 18, has been snapped
up as the face of Topshop's SS15 denim range - and proves her worth as a
fledgling supermodel in the shoot. So where did it all begin and is she
going to usurp Kendall Jenner?
Hailey didn't just spring out of nowhere, she hails from one of the most famous families in Tinseltown.
As
the daughter of the youngest Baldwin brother, Stephen, known for his
starring roles in an array of Hollywood blockbuster hits such as Barney
Rubble in The Flinstones, and niece of Alec, Hailey was always set for a
glittering career.
Speaking
about her famous family, Hailey, who was homeschooled, told Love
magazine: 'The thing that was annoying about having an uncle that’s in
30 Rock is that kids [my age] didn’t understand it. They’re like,
"What?" Then they’re like, "You have to go away to LA with your dad,
what?" And they didn’t get that. And that’s what I’ve struggled with my
whole life in school, too.'
Luckily
for her, a life in fashion followed. She walked in the Topshop's SS15
show, a catwalk known for snapping up the coolest young stars, such as
Jourdan Dunn, Rosie Tapner, Malaika Firth and Cara Delevingne.

fledgling clothes horse, who is represented by Ford Models.
Her
famous friendship haven't hurt either. Hailey can count several public
figures as her nearesr and dearest, including model-of-the-moment,
Kendall Jenner.

pair have been friends for years, having both grown up in Los Angeles,
and Hailey has often featured as an unknown friend of Kendall and Kylie
