The flame-haired beauty has graced some of the most renowned catwalks in the world, including those of Versace, Alexander McQueen and John Galliano. She is currently studying for a History of Art degree at the prestigious Cambridge University, but has also been pursuing an acting career.

She appeared in The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus and St. Trinians, and has hinted her future lies in acting. “It’s hard to distinguish whether modelling has helped but I don’t know any other way. It’s definitely helped confidence wise. I find acting much more of a challenge – acting is definitely harder,” she told vogue.co.uk. “I love acting and if the right opportunity did come along I would definitely consider quitting altogether.”

Lily scored a first in her recent university exams. Although she is doing well with her studies, she would have no qualms about dropping out if she won a major movie role.

“It is certainly something I want to prioritise in the future. It’s not a finite decision though – I may not get the opportunity,” she said. “If a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity came along I’d even consider leaving Cambridge to do a film. I’d definitely weigh up my options and talk to my tutors about flexibility.”
