Lily Cole

And that means she's only got one more year at Oxford?

Wrong university. She's at Cambridge.

^Wasn't too late to edit my post. Fell into my own trap for paparazzi and overzealous fans.

How does anyone know how she does in her exams? Does she talk about her results in interviews or does the media get her results before she does? (The results of undergraduate exams at Cambridge and Oxford would only just have come out about now, in fact they can take a little longer as well, so I'm baffled by how her marks seem to be public knowledge already)

That does seem a bit overzealous fanish doesn't it? Good accomplishment for Lily, but her grades a newsworthy item?..

I know, it just seems so odd that any source would report them

Her last outfit is very cute

^Lovely outfit... however I don't really see how its anyone's business in knowing her grades, shouldn't that be private?

I think so, it's such a private matter it surprises me that the media keeps discussing it

Does her last outfit remind anyone else of what Kate Moss wore to Alexander McQueen's funeral?

Lovely! don't really like the bag or shoes though

 

[apriliciate]

oh she's in university? how old is she actually?

i like her latest dress, but the shoes and bag doesn't really match with the dress.

 

[mackos]

She looked gorgeous at the ball, that outfit is so beautiful on her

She's 22 according to her wikipedia page

Results at Cambridge are usually posted only a couple days after the last exam. And when I say "posted" I do mean it literally. The students in each course are broken into "classes" - ie 1, 2:1, 2:2, 3 (like American grades A, B, C, D) and their names are listed alphabetically under each class. Then it's printed on a big piece of paper and posted on a bulletin board at the Senate House, a building in the centre of Cambridge, where any member of the university can see it. Marks are definitely not a private thing there!

But at least for the last five years or so they use your student ID number and not your name to display your marks for the sake of privacy, the same happens in Oxford. I graduated from Cambridge in August and that's what they did for us every year

 

[greenlandgem]

Really? I graduated a couple years ago and they always used our names. I guess they must've changed it right after I left. Strange that they'd change a centuries-old tradition. Sorry for the misinformation!

No worries, as far as I know the change is very recent at both Oxford and Cambridge and was undertaken specifically because of concerns over privacy (which I'm assuming were first raised 20 years ago and they only got round to addressing now )

On another note, here's a lovely still of Lily in the Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, with Colin Farrell
