The daughter of Hollywood superstar Will Smith, 47, and actress Jada Pinkett Smith, 44, Willow has already appeared on the cover of i-D magazine and in the recent Icons issue of Harper's Bazaar as the Hindu goddess Kali.

Earlier this year the teen singer - who hit the charts with Whip Your Hair - was also announced as the newest face in a major campaign by fashion designer Marc Jacobs.

Willow is just the latest teen from a famous family to join the modelling ranks.

She follows in the footsteps of Lily-Rose Depp who is the daughter of Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis; Kaia Gerber, the daughter of supermodel Cindy Crawford and Anwar Hadid, the 16-year-old younger brother of model sisters Gigi and Bella.

Willow also has kept her music career moving forward.

She shed tears in her new video Why Don't You Cry released earlier this month.

The teen talent came up with the concept and visuals for the new song, according to the video's caption on YouTube.

The video was made in collaboration with i-D magazine, which also featured Willow on its cover.

Willow also has an older brother Jaden, 17, who was featured on her last single titled 5.
