Little Anja Ambrosio wasted no time following in her supermodel mother's footsteps posing for the latest London Fog campaign last month.

And now, mom Victoria's Secret Angel Alessandra Ambrosio, has said wouldn't mind if the four-year-old decided she wanted to make a professional career out of it, either.

The 31-year-old told ABC News she would have no problem if Anja wanted to model for Victoria's Secret, but added: 'I don't know if it's for her, but right now we're just having fun.'

On set of the London Fog campaign, the mini-me blew kisses to the camera and posed for pictures like a pro, leaving no doubt that the tiny tot has modelling in her genes.

 

When she was asked what it took to be a model, the youngster said: 'You have to pose something more pretty than your mom does.'

Is that possible? 'No,' she replied, without hesitation.

Laughing, Ms Ambrosio said: 'She always sees me changing clothes, doing make-up and hair. So for for her it's really exciting to, you know, play with make-up.

'There's a lot of things to be concerned about,' she added, in regards to her daughters burgeoning modelling career. 'But I think the most important thing is to have the right people surround you, to have the right support.'

The London Fog campaign marked the first time that the duo have appeared together in a campaign in the U.S., which will debut in December issues of fashion and lifestyle magazines as well as online, outdoor and in-store.

'I was wearing the classic trench and she had the same color trench coat (on) and she said "Oh! It looks like yours, Mom!" She just loved it. We both have fun when we dress alike.'

'[But] she definitely has her own taste,' the model mother said. 'In the morning she likes to pick out her own clothes. She’ll definitely be a little fashionista. She has a very strong personality already.'

This poor girl will have major issues. Stay away from modeling- study medicine or something.

I want to be a model since I was a child, because my mum was a tailor, she made and designed many beautiful dresses, I wanted to show them to the world. But you know what,she told me I was too ugly to be a model. - The one, Uk, 15/11/2012 22:24 Reading this broke my heart. I'm a mummy to a 6 yr old girl and just couldn't imagine telling her anything other than how beautiful I think she is as well as smart, kind and funny. I'm so sorry your mum said this to you, emotional damage lasts a lifetime and perhaps she was told this by her parents too. I'm sure you're not ugly and are lovely inside and out. Your mum might have had some unresolved issues herself which you must try to forgive her for. Beautiful isn't just about looks, it's about who you are and the fact you wanted to show off her lovely dresses to the world tells me how proud you were of your mum. Thats beautiful right there. Sending a virtual hug x

I think it's sweet she's doing the shoot with her mum and looks like she's having fun, rather than the pressures of being a child model and doing it alone or with other kids, there's something far more natural about this, I can understand how she'd end up in the modelling industry due to what her mum does, it's what they know, it's the parents that put their children forward for this kind of thing not already being in this industry I don't understand, I could never ever imagine having my children work!! My youngest daughter was asked to do a portfolio for a modelling agency some years ago and there was no chance I'd have allowed it, she was only 4 and it's not an industry we know, kids should be kids and enjoy their childhoods, they'll be working enough the rest of their lives!!

The one, UK, I can't believe your mother told you that! My daughter is 34 and I still constantly tell her that she's beautiful. To a mother, your children should always be beautiful. I just want to take you and give you a hug and tell you that you're beautiful. I'm sure Alessandra tells her daughter how beautiful she is. The love they have for each other is evident in these shots.
