Scottie Pippen’s youngest was just 14 when she made an appearance at New York City’s Kids Fashion Week. Cut to the present, the model is an ambassador for Fashion Nova and a few other deals. While Sophia had been into fashion and modeling from a young age, her brothers gravitated towards basketball. Now as the eldest, Scotty Pippen reaches a new height in the NBA, the youngest teased a glimpse of her new modeling gig.
Taking to her Instagram story, Pippen shared a carousel IG post from her latest photoshoot. Joining her in the photos is American singer Justice. While the first slide featured Sophia’s solo mirror photo, the rest of the slides showed the two striking some cool poses. Sophia also shared an enigmatic message along with it. She captioned it, “BTS #Unguarded coming soon,” with shushing emojis.
Furthermore, she shared a few other snippets from the photoshoot on her IG story. Justice shared a few more on his IG story as well. While we don’t know all the details yet, it seems the young model has something exciting coming up soon. However, is the hashtag “Unguarded” a hint that can also be connected to her father’s memoir?

Currently, she has brand deals with Oscar de la Renta. However, despite her gigs, Larsa prefers to give a handsome monthly allowance of $2,500 to her teen daughter. Just months ago, Sophia made headlines for her surprisingly high monthly allowances from her mother. The reality series actress Larsa, who understands the high living costs of LA, not only defended her actions but also praised her daughter for getting a modeling job at such as young age.
With successful brand partnerships and gigs, we can also assume that she earns decently, but LA life certainly comes at a cost. The mother of four was also spotted showing a warm gesture for her son Scotty Pippen Jr., who has made the Pippens proud with his new record.
After much hard work playing in the G League and the Lakers, the eldest Pippen finally found his way into the NBA with the Memphis Grizzlies.
Scotty Pippen set a record with his first triple-double
With Ja Morant ruled out due to a hip injury, Scotty Pippen Jr. has been given a spot in the starting lineup. And he has been making the most out of the golden opportunity. Since the lineup shift, he has been averaging 13 points, 4 rebounds, and 5 assists per game. During a game against the Chicago Bulls at the United Center, Scotty dropped a career-high 30 points along with 10 assists.

Not to mention, the United Center also holds special significance as it’s the same arena where his father made history. “Yeah, definitely a special place to play, you know. I see my dad’s name up here. I’ve dreamed of this moment, it’s a dream come true to finally be able to play here,” Scotty said after the game.
In a previous game against the Wizards, Scotty recorded his first career triple-double. In a 128-104 win, he collected 11 points, 10 rebounds, and 11 assists. This achievement made him and his father the first father-son duo in league history to achieve triple-doubles. Taking to Instagram, Larsa Pippen shared a picture celebrating Scotty’s new record and wrote, “Congrats, my love.”

After averaging 21.5 points during the Summer League, Scotty earned the opportunity to play 21 games for the Grizzlies in the 2023–24 season. Showing his grit, he currently averages 12.9 points, 3.2 rebounds, 5.9 assists in 25.1 minutes per game. He has now secured a permanent two-year deal with the team as well.
Scotty has continued to demonstrate his determination by putting up stunning stats. At the same time, the youngest daughter is also paving her own path. Surely, Larsa couldn’t be prouder of her kids.
