A nepo baby model channeled the boho chic of her singer parents in a new video she posted to her TikTok this week.
The 18-year-old’s father is a rock star who reached the peak of his fame in the 2000s, during which he collaborated on a James Bond theme song.
Meanwhile her mother is a singer-songwriter as well as a model who has walked for brands ranging from Chanel and Dior to Alexander McQueen and Versace.
Their teenage daughter is evidently planning to follow her parents’ footsteps into the spotlight, as she is already signed to DNA Models.
A couple of years ago, at the age of 16, she even joined her father onstage to perform a duet of one of his most memorable hits.
Can you guess who she is?

She is Scarlett White, the daughter of rock singer Jack White of The White Stripes fame and his ex-wife, model and singer Karen Elson.
In her new TikTok, the showbiz legacy could be seen dancing around to the 1981 classic Should I Stay Or Should I Go by the Clash.
Channeling her parents’ sense of style, she was wrapped in a striped faux fur coat and accessorized with a jaunty burgundy hat, sharpening her features with scarlet lipstick.
Jack rose to international fame as part of The White Stripes, a musical duo that was comprised of him and his first wife Meg White.
Although Jack and Meg got divorced in 2000, the band managed to outlast the marriage, and they kept performing together until 2011.
During the peak of his White Stripes fame, he also worked with such artists as country legend Loretta Lynn and folk icon Bob Dylan.
Jack and Alicia Keys recorded the James Bond theme Another Way To Die, which was the opening credits song for the 2008 release Quantum Of Solace.
Two years ago, Scarlett joined Jack onstage at The Blue Room in Nashville to sing a duet of his 2003 White Stripes song The Hardest Button To Button.

Jack was married to Karen from 2005 until 2013 and they share two children – Scarlett as well as a 17-year-old son called Henry.
Karen has enjoyed a top-flight career as a model, hitting the runway for Dolce & Gabbana, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Tom Ford, Gucci and more.
Some of the world’s most famous fashion photographers have snapped her, including Helmut Newton, Patrick Demarchelier, Mario Testino and Arthur Elgort.
She was part of the dazzling lineup of British models who took the stage during the closing ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics, amid such names as Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Stella Tennant and Jourdan Dunn.
Karen broke into singing and songwriting by launching political cabaret troupe the Citizens Band, founded in response to George W. Bush’s reelection in 2004.
Based in New York, the group has a rotating cast that over the years has featured celebrities like Zoe Kravitz, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Zooey Deschanel.
A couple of years ago, Jack shared that both of the children he shares with Karen have inherited their parents’ passion for music.
‘They’re huge music lovers. And they’ve been exposed to so much music around them, so many living rooms full of bluegrass musicians – Radiohead recording in the backyard – or Loretta Lynn stopping by to sing something,’ he told Esquire.
Karen is now married to Electric Lady Studios owner Lee Foster, whom she is pictured with in November 2023 shortly before they announced their engagement
Meanwhile Jack is married to garage rock singer Olivia Jean, whom he tied the knot with in 2022 just minutes after proposing to her onstage
‘And when you’re younger, you almost want to tell them: “Oh my God, that’s Wanda Jackson who just talked with you! You know that?” It’s hard to have perspective because their perspective is already so jagged.’
In the same interview, Jack explained that he has rearranged his touring schedule in order to better live up to his responsibilities as a father.
‘I changed my method of touring once my kids were born and I’m still using that method, which was to try to make everything two weeks on, two weeks off as much as possible,’ said the rock singer.
‘It’s really a bad business move, because you don’t make any profit until about a week and a half into a tour, but if I couldn’t do that, I would’ve just said: “Well, then I just won’t tour anymore, because I have children.” And I think it’s worked out.’
He acknowledged: ‘Nothing will be perfect. We have a family with the mom is a model and the dad is a musician. Scheduling is not the number one hit on the chart.’
Meanwhile Karen has candidly discussed the way that her own profession in the fashion industry has affected the way she raised Scarlett.
‘I recognize the responsibility I have, working in the world of fashion and [being] surrounded by people who represent the standard of beauty,’ she said.
‘This is a very strange and peculiar life that I have, and also that her father [Jack White of The White Stripes] has,’ she confessed to Maisonette.

‘It’s our job to educate her, to show her that no job totally defines you. That real beauty is not what you see in a magazine. It’s character, and goodness and emotional intelligence that radiates from within.’
She has also shared that she and Jack now enjoy an amicable co-parenting relationship, even though their divorce did not proceed as they initially hoped.
‘Every divorce has its challenging moments. We first tried to do the Goopy conscious-uncoupling thing,’ she told Harper’s Bazaar UK.
She was referring to Goop founder Gwyneth Paltrow’s notorious phrase ‘conscious uncoupling,’ which she coined to widespread mockery in 2014 when she announced her divorce from Coldplay frontman Chris Martin.
‘That all fell on its head, but now I can wholeheartedly say that my ex-husband is a dear friend and someone I love,’ said Karen.
‘I look at him and think: “You’re my family.” I know him as “Dad,” I roll my eyes at his dad jokes and I offer him advice when our teenagers are giving him grief. Our relationship is purely that of parents.’
Karen is now married to Electric Lady Studios owner Lee Foster, while Jack is married to Olivia Jean, the frontwoman of the all-female garage rock group the black Belles.
