Lady Gaga might be the celebrity in the family, but Natali Germanotta, the singer's younger sister, looks set to steal a piece of the limelight if a new shoot is anything to go by.
The 20-year-old Parsons fashion student looks every inch the siren in an editorial spread for digital magazine Viralfashion.com.
Draped in pieces from Alaia, J Mendel, and Proenza Schouler, with her hair swept up in a high chignon, the likeness between the sisters is clear to see.

But that wasn't the only family thread running through the shoot. The images were taken at Joanne Trattoria, the Upper West Side restaurant owned by the Germanotta family.
 
Though it was the subject of a brutal review from the New York Daily News back in September, it seems the restaurant is thriving with a busy first holiday season.

La dolce vita: The shoot was inspired by 1950s Italian cinema - 'everything was over-the-top', according to the Viral Fashion creative team

Rising star: Natali has remained somewhat under-the-radar - despite her sister's fame - but it looks like that won't be the case for long

Its success is partly thanks to Natali, who is closely connected with the family business, juggling her job there with her fashion studies.
She describes the Joanne team as 'like a family unit', telling ViralFashion.com: 'I do a little bit of everything and adore my family.'
Natali, who has remained somewhat under-the-radar despite her sister's fame, has previously only been photographed in Teen Vogue and Interview.

Viralfashion.com creative director, Christian Fleres, explained that the shoot was an ode to 1950's Italian Cinema.
'Everything about the shoot was over the top from the oversized meatballs and the 20 pound fish on the table to the big hair and jewelry,' he said.
'We had drama in mind the whole time, for that day everyone was playing the superhero version of themselves.'
