Lily Rose Depp has made a radical leap this 2023. The daughter of Vanessa Paradise and Jonny Depp has dedicated her early career to modeling, like her mother, and has even become a muse for Chanel. However, her interpretation has soon knocked on her door and she today is best known for her work on screen, specifically for her leading role on HBO’s Idol.
The young and versatile 24-year-old artist began her career on the catwalks without being able to get rid of the title nepo baby, named after the children of celebrities who make their way in the same industries in which their parents are consolidated figures. Her girlish face and slender build effortlessly catapulted her onto the covers of major international fashion mastheads, as well as onto the biggest catwalks.
At just 15 years old, the famous dressmaker Karl Lagerfeld signed a contract with her as the face of Chanel. A collaboration that has continued to date, despite the death of the German designer. “What’s happening to Lily-Rose is something I didn’t expect to happen so soon, that’s for sure. She was discovered by Karl Lagerfeld, which is a coincidence, since he discovered his mother when she was the same age,” actor Johnny Depp pointed out in an interview for Vogue.
Despite his talent for modeling, Depp has always wanted to pursue acting. Her first on-screen appearance was with a cameo in the film Tusk. Kevin Smith, father of her close friend Harley Quinn Smith, created a supporting role for her in the horror comedy as her shop assistant.
Two years later, the film had a spin off in which the model returned to the scene, although also, in this case, the title went unnoticed by the general public.
In 2016, at the age of 17, the young Depp obtained somewhat more media roles. She appeared in La Danseuse and Planetarium, in the latter, she shared the screen with Natalie Portman. Two years later, she continued trying to break into the film industry with Savage and A Faithfull Man and in 2019, she starred in a small role in The King, opposite Timothee Chalamet, with whom she had a personal relationship for four years.
Currently, Lily Rose has become an LGTBI reference for her recent courtship with the rapper 070 Shake. The couple is very active on social networks and does not hesitate to make their love public with passionate messages and photos.
