Once upon a time it was her older sister claiming the spotlight after establishing herself as the doyenne of the fashion world, but with Nicole Richie settled motherhood her place on the front row appears to have been claimed by younger sister Sofia.
The 16-year-old daughter of Motown legend Lionel Richie is winning plaudits for her distinctive style, and it was well in evidence over recent days at New York Fashion Week.
Stepping out on Monday, Sofia was on-trend in a quilted gilet and matching skirt ahead of the Tommy Hilfiger Fall 2015 Women’s Collection.
