Ali Lohan Signs Modeling Contract—Is She Officially More Bankable Than Lindsay?

At least one Lohan has her pretty act together. Hint: it ain't Lindsay.

As her new Twitter account proclaims, meet "Aliana T. Lohan, Model."

Yes, little Ali is now all of 17 years old and scoring the kind of long-term deal that has lately eluded her big sis due to her legal issues.

The fashion-loving teen has inked a multyear contract with the top-tier agency NEXT Model Management.

"In fashion, Ali will set herself apart as a bona fide icon," NEXT director Alexis Borges exclusively tells E! News. "One that fashion fans will follow not because of her famous last name, but because of the beautiful images and fashion trends she is helping create."

Ali has had some experience with posing before, having modeled for the summer 2011 collection for Lindsay's fashion line, 6126.

NEXT reps such beauties as Miranda Kerr, Jamie King, Milla Jovovich and Molly Simms.

In other words, it's the real deal. Ali can officially call herself a model.

Now what to do about Lindsay?
