Vanessa Williams daughter stylist

Singer/actress Vanessa Williams has hired her daughter as her stylist.

The Ugly Betty star's 22-year-old kid Melanie graduated from New York's Fashion Institute of Technology (F.I.T.) and helped Williams pick her outfit for the 2009 Primetime Emmy Awards.

And the youngster has shown such a flair for style, the star has decided to give her a full-time job.

Williams says, "She's my stylist now. She went to F.I.T. and specialised in fashion merchandising."

And the proud mum had no doubt her daughter would make it big as a fashion diva: "She was one of those kids who, when she was growing up, I'd put jeans on her and she'd kick them off and want to put on a pretty dress. She's a girly, girly girl."
