PHOTOSHOOT FAB: Selah Marley Steps Into the Modeling World

Jul 09 | by YBF

Fame and talent run rampent throught the Marley clan. The pretty 12-year-old Selah Marley has already been featured in Teen Vogue, and more modeling pics of Lauryn Hill's oldest daughter have surfaced. We have the pics after the jump...

Selah Marley is slowly launching a name for herself in the modeling world. The straight A student (who is a spitting image of her megastar mom) says:

“I was in a hotel with my dad, and I was just joking around and said, ‘Oh yeah, Daddy, I want to model,’” she recently told Teen Vogue of how she took an interest in modeling. “I don’t know—the camera is just fun.”

Very pretty.

In addition to modeling, Selah plays piano, violin, guitar, basketball, gymnastics and does ballet.

I see another star in the making....

Very pretty little girl but I am worried at some of the adult look of the photos. The way Hollyweird sexualizes children is so scary. And yet, no one does anything to prevent. Elle Fanning, who is 13, did a Lolita like photo shoot in her underwear?!?! Why?!?!

Everyone has a right to an

Everyone has a right to an opinion but some of the comments on this piece are just plain stupid and mean spirited. So what if she's a little short or you don't see 'star potential'? It's Teen Vogue, by definition its audience is teens so no-one expects them to look like fully grown 5ft 10inch models. And please, when it comes to modelling what do most people know about star potential? It's more than just looking pretty, it's also being photogenic. So, maybe she isn't the next Tyra, but right now she's having fun and doesn't seem to be hurting anyone. If more people were pursuing their own bliss maybe they wouldn't feel the need to try and pull down a child trying to do her thing.

Pretty girl, but not model pretty, maybe a few catalog spreads and her parents name might get her a Rocawear or Apple Bottom deal. But as long as she has fun and also explores her other talents she'll be fine.

Let's hope she grows into the modeling cause it's the same pose in all 3 shots. She's beautiful and smart but I think her talent will have to grow some more for me to say she is talented. She's doesn't have good vocal skills as yet & that's honesty not hating. She might be an A-student but she's average ... compare her to other unknown talented kids then come back with an HONEST feedback. Good luck to her.

Straight 'A' students are not

Straight 'A' students are not considered average - they are ABOVE average. Who said anything about her vocals??? This is a twelve year old child who plays multiple instruments, which means she is musically inclined. She participates in athletics, which means she has athletic abilities, AND she performs ballet, which means she's trained (and probably currently training) in the area of performing arts....in an era of Facebook, Myspace, sex, drugs, and Lil' Wayne! But I guess that doesn't suffice. Maybe she should find a cure for cancer first before she can meet YOUR definition of talented.

Very beautiful girl, but these clothes are a little alarming for a 12 year old to be modelling. It's a tough industry, and it robs innocence. Hope she has the guidance she needs.

Beautiful, gifted, talented

Beautiful, gifted, talented young lady destined for greatness. Straight 'A' student FOREMOST, plays musical instruments, is involved in athletics and the performing arts (ballet). Clearly she brings much more to the table than a "cute" or "pretty" face. There are not many parents who can say that about their kids!

I am shocked also. Lauryn

I am shocked also. Lauryn said she would never return to such a hateful industry who chewed her up and spit her out but clearly Lauryn sold her soul already and is in desperate need of money. She house 5 mouths to feed bc this Marley character does not provide financially and also she has another on the way. Hopefully they do not chew up her daughter too. Her daughter should stick to modeling bc she is cute but can not sing. Also, those clothes are way to grown for her. The heels, one armed dress and tube top dress are for adults and should remain for them. These parents don't care about pedophiles I see.
