SLy's Angels

Young, beautiful Hollywood offspring Sophia, Sistine, and Scarlet Stallone talk about modeling, their Golden Globe debut, and life with their famous parents.

When Sylvester Stallone’s three daughters argue, the fights can become so heated, they quickly devolve into hand-to-hand combat.

“Rock, paper, scissors,” explains Scarlet, 14.

“You just whip out your hand and battle,” adds Sophia, 20. Take this morning, when Scarlet and Sistine, 18, walked out of their bedrooms dressed for the day—exactly alike. “We looked at each other and were like, ‘No,’” says Scarlet, who bested Sistine in a quick match, forcing her sis back to her closet.

When it comes to the good fight, they certainly learned from the best: Their dad wrote and starred in 1976’s epic boxing film, Rocky, and won a Best Supporting Actor Golden Globe last year for the sixth sequel, Creed. He’s been married to their mom, the model and beauty entrepreneur Jennifer Flavin Stallone, for 20 years. And this year will be a telling one for the family, as Sly leads his daughters into the Hollywood ring to show their stuff.

The sisters’ biggest step into the spotlight together was at the Golden Globes ceremony this past January, as all three escorted presenters and winners off the stage as a collective Miss Golden Globe. It was way more fun than nerve-racking, they say—though Sistine’s “heart skipped a beat” when Leonardo DiCaprio remembered having met her through her parents, Scarlet “fainted a little” when she congratulated Ryan Gosling and he smiled at her, and Sophia got “really bumbly” with Ryan Reynolds. “It just came out like word vomit,” Sistine says as they all laugh.
