But now it's her daughter's turn to take a spin in the spotlight, and Gigi Hadid is doing it in impressive style.
The 18-year-old shows off her stunning figure and natural beauty in a new Guess campaign where she poses in an array of colourful outfits in a picturesque beach setting.
Shot in Bora Bora, in French Polynesia, the campaign makes use of the paradise island's stunning sandy beaches and aquamarine waters.
Gigi sports an array of summery outfits including a paid of ultra short denim cut offs and a long sleeved patterned top which shows off her toned tummy and long legs to the maximum.
Another striking picture features her in a denim playsuit, partially covered in sand as she poses in the shallows of the ocean.
This isn't the first time the 5ft 10 ins Gigi has modelled for the brand - she also appeared in a set of photographs for a campaign last year.
Her modelling life has also featured on episodes of the Real Housewives, with mother Yolanda coming under criticism for urging her daughter to diet in an episode shown last November.
'You can have one night of being bad, right,' she told her. 'Then you got to get back on your diet you know, because in Paris and Milan they like the girls just a bit on the skinny side.
However, Yolanda later took to her blog to clarify her remarks.
'Even the comment about Gigi's diet seems so shallow but the truth is, she was booked on a job in Paris the week after and it required her to stay disciplined with her healthy diet,' she wrote.
'I know this can be very hard for a 17 year old but it’s still a small price to pay for the financial independence it gives her at this young of an age.
'And you should all know, after her photo shoot we went to Le Crepe and pigged out on three crepes each. Yummy!'
Gigi is one of three children from Yolanda's six year marriage to millionaire real estate developer Mohamed Hadid.
The model-turned reality star went on to marry music mogul David Foster in November 2011.
He is the chairman of Verve Music Group, has 16 Grammy awards and is responsible for finding talents such as Celine Dion, Michael Buble and Josh Groban.
Meanwhile, Yolanda joined her Real Housewives co-stars at the premiere of the fourth season of the reality TV show last week.
