Taking after her stylish sibling! Nicole Richie's little sister Sofia displays fashion prowess in chic dress and Chanel loafers

Her older sister Nicole Richie has developed her own sublime fashion sense. 

And Sofia Richie demonstrated she had taken after her famous sibling when she stepped out in Beverly Hills on Wednesday, stylishly dressed from head-to-toe.

The 17-year-old model looked every inch the rising fashionista in a chic white dress, black jacket, and pristine Chanel loafers.

Beyond the white dress and designer footwear, Sofia continued to cement her status as a fashionista with her metallic chain purse and circular sunglasses. 

Her hair was pulled back into a high pony tail and fell loose in waves, and she finished off her complexion with peach pink blush.

The rising model appeared to have her eyes trained on something as she padded outside the building.

The outing comes nearly a month after Sofia went into detail on her future aspirations, which extended beyond her current occupation as a model.

However, Sofia still has her eyes set on the fashion industry.

In an August interview with Fault Magazine, the model revealed that in a decade she would like to be working 'towards my own fashion line and doing collaborations with fashion line.'

Sofia also described how her interest in designing first developed.

'When I was younger my parents bought me this little sketch book with blank girls in it so you can draw clothes on them. 

'That's something I started out doing a long time ago, and it's how I think I became seriously interested in fashion by just being creative with it,' she said.
