Iman and David Bowie's Daughter Is 17 and Absolutely Stunning

From ELLE UK

Even with hundreds of thousands of followers on Instagram, Iman still keeps fairly private on social media, sharing mainly inspirational quotes and promotional photos on her page. But from time to time, the supermodel goes the personal route and shares something closer to home, whether it's a throwback to happier times with late husband David Bowie, or a casual picture of her family.

Last Thursday, it was a rare picture of her and the rockstar's daughter, Alexandria Zahra Jones, in honor of her 17th birthday. "The Queen of my heart Lexi Jones at 17 years old! #selfportrait #LexiLove," Iman captioned the selfie. In it, her daughter poses in a white top and septum piercing while letting her dark-red curls hang loose.

The teen has certainly grown up fast:

Jones, who goes by the nickname of Lexi, was born in 2000, eight years after her parents wed in 1992. She's Bowie's second child, following Duncan Jones, 46, whom the singer had in a previous marriage with Angie Bowie. She's also Iman's second child, following Zulekha Haywood, 39, whom the model had in a previous marriage with Spencer Haywood.

After Lexi's birth, Bowie reportedly started becoming more private, "scaling back on major movie roles" to focus on being a family man, Mirror reports.

Jones, like her mother, has also shared some heartbreaking tributes to Bowie. Since his tragic passing in January 2016, she's shared a couple of throwback pictures with him from when she was a child.
