Justin Bieber Gal Pal Sofia Richie Slays As Model At Kanye’s Yeezy Show: Sorry, Kourtney Kardashian
Justin Bieber and his gal pal Sofia Richie are flaunting their hot hookup, but that’s not all Sofia is showing off. Richie stepped out in her runway debut as a model and made an impression amid the other more experienced catwalk queens, according to Vogue.

Justin’s new girlfriend wasn’t just taking the runway at a small show on the sidelines. Instead, Sofia was part of Kanye West’s Yeezy Season 4 collection at New York Fashion Week on Wednesday. That meant Bieber’s gal pal had to do justice to the subtle, yet revealing nude and neutral hues in extremely body-conscious styles.
Just in case that wasn’t enough for her runway debut, Richie would have had a hard time not noticing Kanye’s wife Kim Kardashian, who just happens to be the sister of Justin’s former fling Kourtney Kardashian.
Kim showed up an hour and 15 minutes late, toting sisters Kylie Jenner and Kendall Jenner along with the Keeping Up With The Kardashians camera crew. The reality TV show clan perched in the front row to keep their eyes center stage on Justin’s girlfriend and the other models.
For those thinking that putting on designer attire and walking is easy, Capital FM pointed out that there were some models who had major issues during the show.

Some models fainted from the heat, with broken heels and a show-interrupting need for water battles among the unintentional side shows. However, despite wearing a heavy coat, Sofia made Bieber proud by slaying her debut on the spotlight-intense catwalk.
With Justin’s girlfriend chosen to walk in the Keeping Up With The Kardashians king’s fashion show, where does that leave Kanye’s sister-in-law Kourtney Kardashian? Kardashian and Bieber famously hooked up in an on-again, off-again relationship for months, getting together after Kourtney split from her baby daddy Scott Disick.

But as a result of Bieber’s romance with Sofia, Kardashian has now become a member of the unofficial Justin Bieber’s Former Girlfriends Club, according to Hollywood Life.
Kourtney may have been prepared for the news that her brother-in-law Kanye chose her former hookup Justin’s new girlfriend to walk in his runway show because she has her own inside source. Kardashian was seen partying with Sofia’s big sister, Nicole Richie, soon after Bieber shifted from hooking up with the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star, 37, to hanging out with the supermodel, 18.
Both Kourtney and Nicole were spotted beaming brightly at A-List Fashion Marketing Group founder Ashlee Margolis’ birthday bash.
“Kickin’ it old school,” wrote Kardashian on social media, not making mention of the fact that Nicole’s younger sister is dating her own former fling, Bieber.
Kourtney began her roller-coaster romance with Justin last year and was spotted exiting Bieber’s hotel without a bra in December 2015. The two continued their off-again, on-again hookup for months, with their most recent public reunion occurring at a nightclub in July.
As for what kind of intrigue Kardashian and Nicole may have discussed? An insider told Hollywood Life that Nicole is nervous about Sofia’s romance with Justin and has been observing the two to try to protect her little sister from heartbreak.
Is Kardashian giving Nicole the inside scoop on what it’s like to be involved with Bieber? One person who might also be interested is Nicole and Sofia’s father, music industry king Lionel Richie. And he was the one involved in an awkward moment that quickly went viral when he was asked what he thought about his daughter and Justin’s romance, noted MTV News.

The cringe-worthy incident started when paparazzi questioned Lionel as he was getting a pressed juice with Justin’s girlfriend, his very own daughter.
Asked how he felt about Bieber dating his daughter, Richie quickly evaded the question while revealing that Sofia had ordered him not to embarrass her by discussing her love life.
“I’m not going there. I have strict orders not to go there!” confessed Lionel.
