If there's one thing we know, it's that Ireland Baldwin loves the spotlight. 

It's fitting then, that she was featured in V magazine's September issue in their story, "Next Wave of Superstars", alongside notables like Natalie Dormer and Tao Okamoto.

In the spread, Baldwin exudes effortless glamour (just like her beautiful mom Kim Basinger) posing in a crisp white button down shirt by Donna Karan paired with a delicate chain necklace by Jennifer Fisher.

The 6-foot-2 aspiring model tells the glossy that "it's going to be hard for me to play the beauty queen in a film, or the lead," due to her height, and has accepted that she's "best at being the funny tall one."

She's so funny, in fact, that her father, Alec Baldwin, called it on the money that she would be an actor one day. "I'd say something funny and have my dad cracking up—and it's really hard to make my dad laugh," the striking 17-year-old said.

The self-proclaimed "easily approachable" social media maven keeps busy with her Tumblr page and Twitter feed, both of which serve as platforms for her to connect with girls all around the world to discuss typical teenage topics: love, beauty and diet. 

As for her plans after high school graduation? Baldwin is set on perfecting her craft.

She plans to enroll in improv classes before auditioning for the Upright Citizens Brigade, the famous comedy troupe where her famous father got his start.

We can't wait to see more of this funnygirl.
