Baby beauties: Is six too young to model?

Anna Nicole Smith’s daughter has landed her first modelling job at the tender age of six.

Danielynn is the new face of Guess, the same brand her mother modelled for before her death from a drug overdose in 2007.

The campaign has outraged parenting experts who think young girls should be sheltered from the spotlight and not paraded in it.

Despite these concerns, child modelling is becoming increasingly common, with girls under the age of 16 frequently featuring in major fashion shoots. Do you think these girls are too young to model?
