Sofia Richie is an American model and designer. At fashion shows, the girl demonstrates collections of world famous brands, including Tommy Hilfiger, Michael Kors and Chanel. In addition, Richie acts in films, plays the piano and does charity work.
Early biography
Sofia Richie was born on August 24, 1998 in Los Angeles, California. The girl grew up in the family of housewife Diana Alexander and popular singer Lionel Richie. Her older sister is the famous American TV presenter Nicole Richie. It is known that Sophia's godfather was Michael Jackson. Later, the model repeatedly admitted that as a child she was madly in love with visiting his Neverland ranch.
From an early age, Richie had a keen interest in music, like her father. At the age of five she learned to sing, and at seven she already knew how to play the piano. Lionel often took the girl to his performances and even let her go on stage during performances. Behind the scenes, she met famous designers, collectors and musicians. Adults often promised Richie a great future in an acting career, because the girl amazed everyone with her artistry and natural musical talent.
Sofia attended Oaks Christian School. Peers called the girl "celebrity" and dreamed of being friends with her, but Richie herself avoided fans in every possible way and preferred to study alone. As a teenager, Richie started homeschooling. In her free time, the girl was fond of playing football and yoga, but later she received a severe hip injury, which forced her to interrupt sports.
Modeling career
Richie began acting as a model at the age of 14. She first appeared on the big stage during a show organized by VOGUE magazine. A year later, she was offered her first professional contract with the Mary Grace Swim swimwear company. The girl willingly signed all the necessary documents and became the main face of the brand.
After a while, Sofia was noticed by agents of the famous Select Model Management agency. Richie severed all ties with the previous manager and, as part of her new deal, began showing collections from popular brands such as Tommy Hilfiger and Michael Kors.
In 2014, Sofia's photographs first appeared on the pages of the glossy fashion magazines Why What Wear and NationAlist Magazine. Later, the girl also took part in filming for Elle Girl, Dazed, Fault and Love Culture magazines.
Since 2015, Sofia Richie has been involved in advertising campaigns for Fendi and Chanel. In addition, the girl never refuses charity performances. For example, in February 2016, at New York Fashion Week, she presented a line of red clothes for women from the American Heart Association, which fights severe internal diseases.
Richie is very popular on the social network Instagram. She currently has almost 6 million followers. The girl regularly advertises clothes, as well as products for beauty and health.
Success in design
In July 2019, Richie released her first customized collection of colorful summer swimwear. The brand immediately became famous for its extraordinary colors and shapes. The girl invented swimwear with ties, floral patterns and neon lights.
A few months later, the model created a clothing collection for the British retailer Missguided. It consisted of 60 pieces, which included mini dresses, pajamas and underwear. The cost of things varied from 20 to 100 US dollars.
Filmography
Sofia Richie managed to appear in quite famous films several times in her short life. Until now, the girl managed to participate only in a number of episodes, but she is sure that in the future she will be able to apply for the main roles. Richie is now focused on gaining experience and observing the stage behavior of famous actors.
In 2014, Sofia appeared in the miniseries Frankly Nicole, in 2016 in the television film Red, White and Boots, and in 2019 in the movie Keeping Up With Pencils.
Personal life
Despite her young age, Richie has already become the main character of love affairs several times. In 2015, the girl dated aspiring actor Jake Andrews, and in the summer of 2016 she was increasingly noticed in the company of the famous singer Justin Bieber. Together they traveled to Japan, where journalists and photographers followed them everywhere. According to Sofia herself, it was because of the obsession of the media that she had to part with Justin. According to her, they were unable to build an adequate relationship in the presence of a crowd. Indeed, looking at the pictures of the couple, it becomes clear that both Bieber and Richie felt uncomfortable in the presence of yellow press correspondents.
Since May 2017, Richie has been dating TV presenter Scott Disick. Now the couple's relationship has already been established, but a few years earlier, their scandalous scenes often came to the attention of the media. So, in August 2018, at the celebration of Kylie Jenner's birthday, Sofia got angry with Scott because he pretended to be Kourtney Kardashian's husband and posted a video with a famous model on his Instagram.
Now, judging by the photos of the couple on social networks, their family life has improved. Richie and Disick rarely appear together at social events, but quite often go on joint tours and travels.
