Ireland Baldwin Cover Bikini Photos: Daughter Of Alec Baldwin And Kim Basinger Lands First Magazine Cover, Mom Gives Modeling Advice

Ireland Baldwin, daughter of actor Alec Baldwin and supermodel Kim Basinger, landed her first magazine cover - and she looks stunning.

The 17-year-old, 6'2" aspiring model shows off her jealousy-inducing body in a white bikini on the July 2013 cover of Modern Luxury's Beach magazine, a Hampton's magazine. She carries a surfboard over her head, and both her smile and skin are glowing with sunlight.

Inside the magazine spread, Ireland poses in more swimwear and rides a bicycle in a glowing shot.

In the issue, the model said she lives by Mahatma Gandhi's mantra: "A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes," The Daily Mail reports.

She also said in the next five years she's looking forward to seeing her modeling career take off: "The paths my modeling career will take me on. I'm excited to work and study acting as well," she said. 

Ireland works out twice a day to keep her amazing shape, as well as enjoys "paddleboarding and surfing."

Baldwin signed with IMG Models and Two Management back in March, joining other top models like Kate Moss, Chanel Iman and Tyra Banks, The Huffington Post reports.

Baldwin will also appear in the September issue of Elle magazine, which she shot earlier this month. The teen model said that her parents are proud of her new career.

"I think everyone's really happy for me," she said on "Entertainment Tonight." "It's been, so far, just such a fun ride. They're really happy that it's building confidence for me and it's getting me out there, so I think that everyone's just motivating me to keep going with it."

Ireland has said her mother has given her advice on how to be successful in the modeling business. She told "Access Hollywood" on Thursday: "My mom taught me to go on and have fun and avoid everyone else's comments and avoid what people are going to say about you. As long as you're the one that's smiling and having a good time then you're the one that's gonna be successful."

Baldwin was at the John Frieda Sheer Blonde Event celebrating Blonde Awareness Month, in New York City.
