Jessica Simpson's Daughter: Strikes a Pose Like She's Ready for the Runway

Jessica Simpson's 3-year-old daughter Maxwell is an apple that never fell from the tree.

Jessica clearly enjoyed her daughter's personality -- she cracked up when her mini-me stopped for photogs as they left Sagebrush Cantina in Calabasas.

Maxwell panned for the cameras and did her best runway pose. As they say in Hollywood ... the kid stays in the picture.
