Even sporting a simple gym look, she manages to show why she has been recruited as the face of a leading fashion brand.

Sofia Richie, who has just been named an ambassador for Madonna's Material Girl range, was spotted out and about in Los Angeles on Wednesday dressed in a fashionable sports ensemble.

The 16-year-old model, who is the daughter of music icon Lionel Richie, was pictured heading to the gym.

Sofia wore striped leggings and a black top layered over a white vest, which matched her white trainers.

She paired the look with trendy sunglasses and her favourite Chanel fluffy rucksack, which she has been seen wearing on a number of occasions of late. 

The fashion-forward bag featured the iconic Chanel logo with a quilted flap and a sheep skin body.

Sofia was named as the latest Material Girl model in July and is clearly thrilled at the signing.

Following in the fashionable footsteps of her older sister Nicole, who has cemented her status as a top designer with her boho fashion line, House of Harlow 1960, Sofia has hit the big time as the face of the brand, which the hitmaker created alongside her daughter Lourdes 'Lola' Leon, 18. 

After news of the partnership surfaced, Sofia posted on Instagram: 'It's such an honour for me to announce that I'm the new face of Madonna and Lola's Material Girl! Can't wait to show you the awesome ads we created in NYC.'

Madonna also spoke out about her new choice of spokesmodel, after picking Sofia personally, saying: '[She] perfectly embodies the style and spirit of Material Girl and is the ideal new face for the line.'

Her daughter Lourdes added: 'Coming from an artistic family, self-expression is in our blood. I love Sofia’s style and energy, and look forward to collaborating with her.'

Material Girl has been known to feature bold, young women with a unique sense of style in its campaigns, having previously enlisted the faces of Kelly Osbourne, Rita Ora and Zendaya.
