You probably recognise her face from modeling or walking the runway, but being photographed by Terry Richardson isn’t the only camera Poppy Delevingne can be seen behind. The English model recently got her start as an actress. Maybe you’ve seen her in Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017) but when it comes to acting, her biggest and most recent work is her role as Igraine in this year’s film, King Arthur: Legend of the Sword. The film is directed by Guy Ritchie and you can spot Delevigne acting alongside Charlie Hunnam and Jude Law.
Born in London, Poppy Angela Delevinge married her long-term boyfriend James Cook, in 2014 after dating for seven years. While she is now dipping her feet into the world of acting, her roots are in fashion.
She got her start in 2008 when she was spotted by Storm Model Management founder Sarah Doukas. Her reputation in the fashion industry does not disappoint. She has walked the runway for Julien Macdonald and has modeled for Alberta Ferretti and Burberry just to name a few. Additionally, Poppy became the face of Louis Vuitton’s Summer 2012 collection and is also the Young Ambassador for The British Fashion Council, which was appointed to her in 2015.
It’s not a surprise to see her face popping up on the big screen as these talents run in the family. Poppy is the older sister of model and actress Cara Delevingne who can be seen in the film Suicide Squad or modeling for Chanel.
As if her long list of accomplishments aren’t enough for you to keep your eyes peeled for the blonde beauty, maybe these fun facts will change your mind. Poppy is so obsessed with spaghetti that she admits to eating pasta every day (a girl after our own heart) and she’s also the biggest Spice Girls fan you’ll ever meet. Poppy knows the words to every single song recorded by the girl group…impressive.
At only 32, Poppy’s career is nothing shy of what we expect from a Delevingne. Follow her on Instagram and Twitter or add her on Snapchat with the username popdelevingne to see pictures and videos of the socialite’s life!
