Legendary boxer Muhammed Ali once famously described himself as "pretty", and it seems his grandson Biaggio Ali Walsh has now inherited that title.

17-year-old Biaggio took to Twitter last week to announce his excitement at being signed to one of the world’s top modelling agencies Wilhelmina – the same agency who represent former Disney stars Nick Jonas and Demi Lovato.

The high school student wrote to his 13,000 followers: "So excited that I signed with Wilhelmina Models! Thank you and I’m excited to work with you guys!"

And Biaggio – who is the son of Ali’s daughter Rasheda – seems to have inherited more than his good looks from his recently deceased grandfather as he is also a talented athlete.

According to TMZ the teen is one of the best school-level footballers in the States and has already received dozens of scholarship offers from colleges.

 

Happy 74th Birthday Poppy! Blessed I was able to spend time with you on your birthday weekend. I love you

With so much going for him, we're sure this won't be the last we hear of Biaggio.

It's been two years since Jeremy Meeks' mugshot sent the internet into meltdown and now the man affectionately known as "Hot Mugshot Guy" has released his first professional headshot.

The Californian felon – who has been locked up in a Nevada prison for felon weapon charges since 2014 – became an internet sensation when his mugshot received over 100,000 likes after being posted to Stockton Police Department's Facebook page.

The attention won the father-of-three a $30,000 modelling contract with White Cross Management before he was even released.

The new picture was posted to Meeks' official Instagram account yesterday and shows the former gang member wearing a Golden State Warriors peaked cap while staring straight into the camera.

Before his March release, Meeks' agent Jim Jordan told the Mail Online that the 32-year-old had been inundated with work-related requests.

He said: "We have major, major fashion brands, designers on the table. We have movies on the table, we have book deals on the table, we have reality non-scripted television on the table, we have pilots on the table, we have club openings in Dubai, Vegas and all over the world."

"We have royalty wanting Jeremy as a special guest in their palaces – we have major, major requests from Japan to Australia, Russia to Dubai, to all the ends of the earth."

But before you get as excited as Meeks' agent, it might be worth noting that the "man who launched a thousand memes" seems to still be under house arrest.

Last night he shared another image on his account which was captioned: "Count down #housearrest #bayarea."

So, it might be a while before we see Meeks and his pale blue eyes shooting in any glamorous locations.

Between photoshoots and campaigns, editorials and runways, models can be put in all sorts of situations.

But model of the moment, Kendall Jenner has revealed the weirdest thing she's done for fashion.

Speaking to Grazia, Kendall said the the strangest thing she's done was in her first ever runway for Marc Jacobs.

“Bleaching my eyebrows the first time for the Marc Jacobs show. I barely recognised myself.”

And we barely recognised her either. It was only after the show finished then everyone copped on it was Ms Jenner debuting her runway-self.

We don't know if we'd go so far for fashion though.

The year was a rollercoaster for the Kardashian/Jenners, but it seems like they all need to slow down a little bit now.

In the same day it was reported that Rob Kardashian was hospitalised for diabetes, his sister Kendall has revealed that she too was taken into hospital.

The model was explaining her New Year's resolutions on her website yesterday, and in the blog post, Kendall said that her work schedule made her extremely exhausted this year.

"I actually had to go to the hospital because I was so exhausted—it was definitely a wake-up call that I need to take better care of myself," she said.

We're not sure when exactly Kendall was taken into hospital, but it was over the past year, as she packed so much into her schedule.

"Honestly, I worked so much this year that it freaked me out a little," she wrote. "So, I guess my resolution would be to chill out more and have the ability to be a little more spontaneous."

Perhaps we should not be surprised that Dylan Brosnan picked up his famous father's debonair good looks. 

Pierce Brosnan's handsome son is starting to make a name for himself as a model as he fronts the latest Burberry campaign for their SS 2016 collection.

The ridiculously tall 18-year-old looks gorgeous in a trademark Burberry trench coat and well… very little else. 

The young model was shot by infamous fashion photographer Mario Testino and shows off his lovely Irish freckles in the shots. 

While this may be Dylan's first role as the face of a campaign, he has already been making waves in fashion circles as he appeared with it-girl Karlie Kloss in American Vogue and walked the run way for Saint Laurent at fashion week. 

The son of the former James Bond actor and wife Kelly Shaye Smith resides in Malibu, Los Angeles where he is kick-starting his fashion career. 

And it seems Burberry are big fans of snapping up the good-looking offspring of famous stars. 

The 13-year-old Romeo Beckham also made his modelling debut with the iconic fashion house and we think he also has a very promising career in looking good for a living. 

He could sell us on ANYTHING.

We love a homegrown hero and up and coming modelling sensation Stella Maxwell is no exception.

Looking phenomenal as a Victoria's Secret Angel, she has officially become our latest girl crush. But who is she, where did she come from and most importantly how can we have her life?! 

1. She has Irish in her blood
Though Stella grew up in many different parts of the globe, she was born to Northern Irish parents. Her parents are both Belfast natives which means we are officially claiming her as Irish. 

 

2. She has lived all over the world 
The leggy blonde spent her early years in Belgium before moving to New Zealand with her Dad being a successful diplomat. She now casually manages to split her time between LA and NYC. Jealous does not even begin to cover it!

 

3. She dated Miley
Even with her modelling credentials, Stella came to everyone's attention when it was reported she was dating none other than Miley Cyrus earlier this year.

Having met through mutual friends, the pair were caught passionately kissing and even though it looks like the fling may have ended, it caused a pretty big sensation. Let’s just say we cannot wait to see who Stella dates next.

 

4. She is a Victoria's Secret Angel
Stella walked the 2014 Victoria's Secret show and officially became an Angel in 2015. She wore her wings for the first time on this week's show, which took place on Tuesday, and she looked amazing. 

 

5. She's a catwalk veteran
Though she was thrust into the limelight for being a Victoria's Secret model and her rendezvous with Miley, Stella is a seasoned model and has walked many catwalk shows in her short career.

Big names she has worked for include Marc Jacobs and Moschino. 

 

6. She has a seriously enviable squad
Apart from being effortlessly trendy, Stella Gigi Hadid amongst her BFFs, and lives in New York with her best pal and fellow model Barbara Palvin. She gives us a serious case of #squadgoals.

 

7. She takes androgynous to a new level
Beginning her career with a short, peroxide blonde pixie cut, Stella propelled herself into the fashion industry by being able to create a variety of versatile looks.

She's gorgeous, but we must admit she would make a pretty cute boy 

 

8. She’s a musician
Stella recently told V Magazine that she has finished up an album with friends in New York. Watch this space…

 

9. She dropped out of university
Before her modelling career took off, Stella studied in the University of Otago in New Zealand where she studied Psychology for one year. She left college in favour of her modelling career. Can you blame her?

We've all been there.

You post a selfie in which you look pretty damn good, if you do say so yourself. But one hour and zero likes later, you're thinking your next selfie should be taken from an airplane as you swiftly exit the country forever.

One thing we would NOT recommend doing, however, is taking to Instagram again to blast everyone who didn't click that little loveheart… as one woman learnt to her detriment this week.

Australian model Cassi Van Den Dungen's pre-holiday inspirational quote scored her "only 14 likes," something which she was none too happy about.

"After going away on an amazing holiday/road trip I come home to see my post on new adventures had only 14 likes," she wrote, posting a close up shot of the figure, circled in red.

"The lowest amount I've ever had on Instagram… I have to say I'm pretty shocked because this, to me, either means that people A) don't like me having new adventures, as if I'm not allowed fun, or B) it means people don't like new adventures.

"Either way, all I have to say to those people who didn't like my post and don't like having fun is ……YOU ALL SUCK!!!!!"

Awks. Needless to say, the backlash has been pretty intense:

Cassi, who recently starred in Australia's Next Top Model and has almost 10,000 Instagram followers, did make an effort to defend herself today.

"The people who know me or at least understand my type of humour are understanding what I said," she wrote on Facebook.

"It was a light hearted bit of fun. TOO many people are so serious these days."

If that was a joke, she had us all fooled.

We all know from Gigi’s Instagram account that she never shies away from a make-up free selfie. And surprisingly, it’s not expensive facials that have her skin looking so well.

In a recent interview with W Magazine, Gigi revealed that she has a simple beauty routine that DEFINITELY gets our lazy-girl seal of approval.

"I hate facials," she told W. "I just don't want someone touching my face — I get claustrophobic."

Her clear complexion is not down to the work of Hollywood’s best dermatologists, but rather something you would find in the chemist or supermarket.

"I put toothpaste on pimples to dry them out," she says, stressing that "it works."

Gigi admits she only gets the odd zit every now and then, but when she does, it’s toothpaste that saves the day.

Controversial. Would you try it out?

Allow us to introduce you to Sarah McDaniel. Sarah is a 20-year-old model with two different coloured eyes who is currently causing quite a stir online.

With over 42,000 followers on Instagram, her medical condition has led her to find internet fame.

 

A photo posted by Sarah McDaniel (@krotchy) on

The condition is called ‘Heterochromia iridium’. It is considered a genetic abnormality and it occurs in approximately six out of every 1000 births, according to Medicine.net.

A witty social media user, Sarah’s unique looks have certainly got people talking- and they definitely help her stand out from the thousands of other beautiful girls lining up at the doors of model agencies.

California- native Sarah is represented by LA Models, and despite her huge social media following, she is still on the receiving end of plenty of criticism.

The model has had to defend her looks as many social media users insist she must be wearing coloured contacts or changing her eye colour with nifty editing tricks.

She assures everyone the she’s not, and has never needed to thanks to her genetic condition.

Photographer Gregorio Campos worked with Sarah in the past, and told Arsenic:

"Anyone that looks unique, I don’t Photoshop and I think imperfections are beautiful. I like making imperfections look good, whether it’s the atmosphere or the model."

At the moment Sarah is billed as an 'unknown' model, but we have a feeling that it won't be much longer before she's taking over the modelling world entirely.

As celebrity children on the catwalk is making a major scene at the moment, it's only fitting that Hailey Baldwin's older sister Alaia has started to make her run in the industry. 

The model has signed on with State Management, a modelling agency that only launched at the start of New York Fashion Week in September.

According to ASOS Magazine, Alaia previously worked with Major Models, although she hasn't yet hit the same level of celeb-status like her sister.

With State Management trying to establish it's own credibility, we'd guess Ms Baldwin is trying to make her move up too.

The new agency was founded by the super-power that is IMG, and it's marketing itself around representing men and women with strong personalities and the potential to be role models – an obvious angle in the era of social media giving models the opportunity to pull back closed curtains and speak their mind. 

"We found Alaia to be extremely down to earth, and we believe she is a person that is relatable to all generations — a rare quality that is not always easy to find," said founder Wilhelmina vet Rene Gonzalez.

With short, shaggy hair and bangs, Alaia has a slightly edgier vibe than the Kendall's and Gigi's of the catwalk. And while we're not saying she's going to snap up a Dolce and Gabbana exclusive immediately, she's definitely going to be one to watch.

Kate Moss might not be too happy with BFF Liv Tyler.

In a new interview for Vogue, Liv tells how Kate tried to mentor her modelling, but she wasn't very good at the job. 

"She was doing all these poses for me and I was trying to mimic her."

"She doesn't give a f**k, she just moves in these free ways, and of course what I was doing didn't look anything like want she was doing. I felt like a total amateur."

Most people would disagree with Ms Tyler, of course, as Liv has been in the spotlight since she was a teenager – although in the November Vogue interview, Liv reveals her career path was apparently determined from a much younger age. 

"I remember taking a call from an interviewer when I was really young and they asked me, 'What do you want to be when you grow up?' and I said, 'Excuse me, can you hold on?' I put the phone down and asked my mum. 

"Baby, you're going to be an actress," said her mother. "And that's what I said."

"It was such a weird moment, and not like in a stage-mum way, it was like she could see my future with a crystal ball."

So, this month there is an 18-year old on the cover of Italian Vogue.

His name is Aidan Walsh and he’s from Barefield in Ennis, Co. Clare. He appears to be making a bit of a name for himself in the London fashion scene.

Since 2014 he’s been based in the city at the Bird College of Dance and Theatre Performance where he is continuing his dance training. According to the Clare Herald he was spotted at the age of 12 at a Ballet Ireland course and was thought to be something of a prodigy.

Aside from his studies, Aidan has been doing some modelling and doing it very well it would seem.

He’s represented by the Tomorrow is Another Day Model Agency in London.

Before moving to London Aidan had trained at various dance companies and schools in Ireland which included Youth Ballet West and the Corrib Dance Academy.

He is now the male face of Italian Vogue, which he announced on his social media accounts.

The cover was shot by famous fashion photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot.

Aidan now joins the likes of Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Isabella Rossellini, Gisele Bundchen and Kate Upton who have all featured on the famous magazine’s cover.

Oh, and if you were curious that is a love bite on his neck- because fashion.

He told Ryan Tubridy in an interview that it is a real hickey and how it came to be was quite amusing:

"I thought they were going to do it with make-up ’cause, you know, there’s a team of professional make-up artists there," but when it comes to Vogue Italia everything must be authentic:

"They decided that the only way to actually give me one was to physically give me one, so one of the make-up assistants had to give me one on my neck."

Tough day at the office then.
