Her mother Kim Basinger was a successful model before her turn as an Oscar-winning actress.
And it seems Ireland Baldwin is eager to emulate her famous parent's success.
The 17-year-old - whose father is Alec Baldwin - announced via Twitter this week that she has signed on to the prestigious IMG model and talent agency.

The 6ft 2in beauty excitedly broke the news to her followers, stating:
'Officially working for @TwoManagement and @IMGmodels! I’m blessed, happy, and ready to WEEEEERK.'
Ireland will be joining such model luminaries as Kate Moss and Christy Turlington at the prestigious IMG agency.

The blonde certainly has a leg-up in the genes department with gorgeous Kim as her mother.
The 59-year-old was a Ford model before finding fame as a Bond girl in the Eighties film Never Say Never Again.
Ireland first made headlines as a young girl when she found herself at the center of a nasty custody battle after Alec and Kim divorced in 2002.

Alec famously referred to Ireland as a 'rude, thoughtless little pig' in a leaked voicemail message back in 2007.
But the two are on better terms this days, and Ireland appears to have embraced her father's new wife Hilaria Thomas, claiming she calls her 'mom' as a joke.
But the aspiring model suggested on Friday that things may not be as rosy with her parents as they appear after tweeting that her 18-year-old boyfriend Slater Trout is who she feels closest to.
'I feel related to way more non-blood related people in my life,' she wrote.
'Slater is my family now. My ride er [sic] die,' she added.
