Some of the finest nepo kids around are ready to spread their wings after earning their diploma.
On the heels of Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin’s daughter Apple Martin graduating from Vanderbilt University and landing a Chloe campaign, Christy Turlington shared her nepo kid is on a similar path.
On Thursday the 57-year-old Calvin Klein model revealed her mini-me daughter Grace Burns, 22, has graduated from New York University.
Now Grace can model full time after launching her part-time catwalk career three years ago.
The Turlington offspring has already posed for Alberta Ferretti and British Vogue, and is expected to do much more in the coming months as she has secured a top booking agent.

Christy is wed to She’s The One director Edward Burns. They also have a 20-year-old son named Finn Burns.
On Thursday, Turlington – a top 1990s model who worked for Versace and Fendi – posted images from her college graduation.
The child wore a purple gown as she held onto flowers.
Mom wore an ivory blouse with beige skirt as she held a black purse. Dad Burns modeled a gray suit with a purple tie as he flashed a thumbs up.
‘What a week – and what a milestone,’ Turlington wrote. ‘As a mother and as a parent, this moment feels profound. So many hopes and dreams for my firstborn are unfolding far sooner than I ever imagined.’
‘There’s a saying: educate a girl and you educate a nation,’ she continued.
‘That’s a powerful responsibility – but if anyone is ready to carry it, it’s my daughter, alongside her friends and classmates who are already becoming the change they want to see in the world.’
