And she is most certainly setting out to prove that in her latest photoshoot for Nylon Magazine which sees the 26-year-old daughter of Patti Hansen and Keith Richards posing in an array of edgy outfits.
But judging by the New York based model's photographs, with her thick blonde hair, dewy skin and plump lips, it's her mother's stunning looks that she has inherited.

Alexandra is no stranger to the fast-paced world of fashion and is following in the footsteps of her 27-year-old sister Theodora who is a regular on the scene.
When Theo was just 17, she appeared in U.S. Vogue, warning other young women against wearing skimpy clothes.
And when the siblings were teenagers, they were asked to model for a Tommy Hilfiger campaign alongside Mick Jagger's daughter Elizabeth.

As a rock star's daughter, Alexandra Richards enjoys something of a privileged lifestyle.

In an interview with Destination Kors - the Michael Kors blog - she revealed that she spent Christmas and New Year's Eve in the tropical Turks and Caicos Islands, before jetting back to Paris where she is studying jewelry design at the prestigious Van Cleef & Arpels academy.
