Lily-Rose Depp attended the 2019 Met Gala in a look now seared in our minds, a moment in her style we will never forget. Wearing archival Chanel Haute Couture, she paired the look with tousled, undone hair and a lick of eyeliner. An ambassador for the House since 2015, the pair go together like tweed and Lagerfeld, the actress often sporting Chanel pieces on the red carpet and while socialising with friends and is frequently side-of-runway for shows.
Depp's style has evolved as she has grown, yet still indulging in playful, youthful pieces especially in the summer months. At only 23 years of age, she combines a timeless elegance alongside trending motifs, with the odd retro-inspired number not an outlier in her rotation – a Mod-like shift dress is never off the cards. Before we get into some of her best style moments, this is everything you need to know about the actor and model.
On her upbringing...
As the only daughter of Vanessa Paradis and Johnny Depp, Depp was raised in a French-American household, but was born in Paris in 1999. She grew up speaking both English and French, and is still fluent in both. She also left school when she was 17 to pursue acting full time, and has reportedly never really been "rebellious" since her parents were never particularly strict with her, meaning she had little to rebel against.
On her career...
Like all good nepo babies, Depp originally wanted to pursue a singing career like her mother, however after her first major film in 2014, Yoga Hosers, Depp realised that she was more comfortable on set than making music. “I wanted to be a singer, but once I started acting, I felt so comfortable. Now all I want to do is act.” she told The Sun in 2019.
Since then, she has starred in a handful of both English and French-language productions, like A Faithful Man, and The King, where she starred opposite Robert Pattinson, Joel Edgerton, and Timothée Chalamet.
As for her upcoming projects, she's set to star in a leading role in Sam Levinson and Abel Tesfaye's HBO series, The Idol, which comes out this year.
On her relationship with Chanel...
Depp has had a close relationship with the House of Chanel and the late Karl Lagerfeld since childhood, accompanying her mother to fittings in Paris and wearing her hand-me-downs from a young age. In 2015, Depp finally became an official part of the Chanel family at just 16 years old, making her the youngest ever global Chanel ambassador. In 2017, Depp walked the Spring Summer 2017 Haute Couture show as the Chanel bride, and has since starred in multiple campaigns for the House and been a constant front-row-fixture with her mother.
On her style...
