Sister Act: The Famous Younger Siblings Taking Over

  • 22 March 2014

It’s often hard being a younger sibling, but it’s got to be worse if you’re living in the shadows of a famous sister. For some, this is a reality and actually it’s not too bad at all. You see the little sisters are striking back and there’s a few that might just about ready to step out of their big sis’s shadows.

Kendall Jenner

Far from being satisfied as a supporting player on big sister Kim’s reality show, Kendall Jenner is carving out her own path to fame as a model. So far it's working out pretty well for the 18 year old aspiring runway star, as the high fashion world seems to have welcomed her with open arms. Indeed during February's crazy fashion month she walked in Marc Jacob’s New York Fashion week show, Giles’s London show and made at appearance at Channel’s fashion supermarket at Paris fashion week.

If that wasn't enough she’s been spotted hanging with Anna Wintour, Phillip Green and Kate Moss, plus rumours of a Harry Styles romance probably wont hurt her star standing. Kim’s younger sister seems to be positioning herself as very different to her elder siblings, who's been struggling for a while to find high fashion acceptance. This is one little sis you really need to watch out for, there could be a new Kardashian queen very soon and by the way she’s a Jenner.

Lottie Moss

Kate Moss’s half sister Lottie is only 16 but that hasn't stopped her following her big sister's footsteps into the modelling world. Her cover girl potential was first spotted when she was bridesmaid at Kate’s wedding and the then 13 year old was snapped up by Storm modelling agency soon after. Sure she’s only 5’5 but Kate’s already broken down height boundaries for models, so really, who cares? Lottie was introduced to the fashion world earlier this month by way of a Teen Vogue shoot and by the looks of it modelling certainly does run in the Moss family.

Elle Fanning

Little sister of Dakota, Elle started to break out of her big sis’s shadow when she starred in 2011's 'Super 8' which earned her a Saturn Award and a Young Artist Award nomination. Now the 15 year old will be starring alongside Angelina Jolie in the much anticipated Disney epic '_Maleficen_t' where she will play a young Sleeping Beauty. Up next for Elle though might be her biggest project yet as she's set to take on the lead role in ‘Olive’s Ocean’ the big screen adaptation of Kevin Henkes's novel which is coincidently her favourite book. Now that sister Dakota’s hit her twenties there's room for a new teen queen actress on the screen and younger sister Elle might just fit the role perfectly.

Elizabeth Olsen

This rising star has not just one but two famous big sisters to contend with, famous twins Mary Kate and Ashley. Far from following in her sisters kid orientated movie footsteps, Elizabeth perfected her acting skills in more serious pieces. It's certainly paid off, she ‘was nominated for a BAFTA Rising Star Award for her role in 'Oldboy' as well as recieving critical acclaim for her performance in 'Martha Marcy May Marlene' in 2011. This summer thing are set to get even bigger and better for the newest Olsen as she’ll be taking on 'Godzilla' in the upcoming reboot. Plus there's more action to come as next year you can see her in 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' as the Scarlet Witch.
