It’s only been three weeks since Ireland Baldwin officially kicked off her modeling career, but the leggy 17-year-old has already landed her first high-profile swimsuit editorial, in the New York Post.
And while no one’s doubting Baldwin’s natural talents, we’re guessing her famous parents (that would be Alec Baldwin and ex Kim Basinger, who’s playing modeling coach for her daughter) may have helped catapult her into the spotlight so quickly.
That’s not to say the young model doesn’t pose like a pro in the photoshoot, wearing an assortment of skimpy swimsuits in N.Y.C.’s 40° weather without looking the least bit chilly. (We bet Kate Upton would be proud!)
