Nepotism is hitting the catwalk.
It's
Fashion Week in New York, meaning the hottest models are showing off the spring 2012 collections.
But some of this year's models had a little help from their famous family members.
Kathie Lee Gifford's 18-year-old daughter Cassidy made her runway debut on Wednesday night.
"It was so thrilling," Kathie Lee said on the "Today" show.
Cassidy is an aspiring actress (of course) -- and her modest height ("5'3" or 5'4") may be better suited to acting than modeling.
"She was a peanut among giants," Kathie Lee said, comparing her daughter to the other models.
Cassidy walked into Sherri Hill's show with 15-year-old
Kendall Jenner, better known as the half-sister of Kim, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian.

Kendall has done some modeling in the past, but this was her fashion show debut.
And the world gets even smaller: Kathie Lee is Kendall's godmother.
"Love my Cass and Kendall!" Kathie Lee tweeted, offering a photo from the big event.
Kim Kardashian was equally proud.
"Wow my little sis @kendalljenner faced her fears & killed it tonight on the runway!!!" she tweeted.
Do you think she killed it? Or was Cassidy even cuter?
Kendall has the model beauty & height. http://www.newses.us/wp-conte...

Excluding Kylie, all the daughters look so alike.
Both girls are beautiful.
It's nice they had this opportunity.
