It may have been her mother, Danielle Staub, who got tongues wagging during the first season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, but all eyes will soon be on Christine Staub. The 15-year-old has just signed with IMG Model– the same agency that represents Gisele Bunchen, Heidi Klum, Kate Moss and Taylor Momsen. “She came into our offices and we were blown away!” Ivan Bart, SVP and Managing Director of IMG Models Worldwide, tells PEOPLE.com. “She has an amazing amount of potential as a model. If we had seen her on the street we would have signed her on the spot.” The 5’10″ soon-to-be high school sophomore is still taking test photos, but it is possible she could hit the catwalk as early as September for New York Fashion Week, according to IMG. “This is all very new to me,” Chirstine told The Daily. “I’ve never really done any modeling before, so I’m just learning while I have a chance and being guided by the best in the business. I’m also getting used to industry people looking at my face so closely!” Tell us: Do you want to see Christine hit the runway?

What I said go for it baby I wish you the best of luck. Don’t look back at those women specially Caroline (IF YOU MESS WHITH MY FAMILY YOU MESS WITH ME) what a joke stop making excuses for your sister and leter grow up so she can let her daughter became a lady not like all of you specially theresa. You have to give credit to Christine’s mom the way she raised her, so she is not so bad. Not spoiled and laisy like the other QUEENS DAUGHTERS

She is such a natural beauty and so this news does not surprise me. Her features remind me of the late Margaux Hemingway. I wish her much success, but since her on air appearances demonstrated there is a common sense gene in her DNA, I think she will do just fine.

May God bless her and keep her strong- the poor girl will need it. You know, in your heart of hearts, that her mother will be a complete stage mom- out to get as much money for herself as possible. I wonder if she’s signed on as her daughter’s manager yet ?! Guess Danielle doesn’t have to get off her skinny ass and get a job, after all. She used any man that might come near her, now its her kid’s turn. Kate Gosselin , watch out- your competition is here, for sure.

I Agree that she is gorgeous! too bad she has to live with her mother

It’s amazing that such a homely woman could have such a beautiful daughter, but, of course, we don’t really know what Danielle Staub used to look like (although it couldn’t have been anywhere near as good as her daughter, who is gorgeous).

Good for Christine! This young woman is mature for her age I was impressed when I saw her on HONJ, I wish her all the best. Hope she doesn’t let her education go tho, she needs to not make the same mistakes as her Mom did when she was younger.

She's her own girl on August 8th, 2009

I just hope to God she doesn’t turn into her mother. Most girls do. I hope she doesn’t turn to drugs because she has to stay thin to be in modeling. Good luck to you, Christine, and do not follow your mother’s lead.

She is gorgeous. I was watching the show with someone else in the beginning and we both said it…so I am not surprised.

Kar on August 8th, 2009

I knew it! Every time my sister and I watched the show, we always commented on Christine’s model-esque appearance. We both predicted she’d be in the modeling industry. I think she has such an interesting and beautiful look

Kara on August 8th, 2009

I think she looks EXACTLY like her mother; especially in the eyes. I get where people say she looks like a model, bc she is pretty – but I really think that she’s nothing to write home about. Granted I could never be a model, and kudos to her, but you see girls like her on ANTM all the time.
