British supermodel Lily Cole celebrates turning the grand old age of 20 today!
Lily, whose modelling career began after a chance encounter when she was 14, is now the face of M&S and has starred in several films, including St Trinian's.
But the model-turned-actress, who's now worth £6 million, hasn't let fame go to her head. This September the straight-A student will be taking up her place at Cambridge University, after deferring her place for two years to pursue her non-academic interests.
'I'm focusing on modelling this summer, then I start at Cambridge. I'm really excited. It will be a big change, but I can't wait,' says Lily.
Lily was walking through the streets of Soho after a hamburger with friends when scout-turned-actor Benjamin Hart approached her. Lily ran, fearing she was being chased by 'some dodgy guy'. But realising that Benjamin was connected to Storm Models, the mother agency of supermodels such as Kate Moss, Lily accepted and the rest - as they say - is history.
In celebration of Lily's birthday, take a look at her changing styles through the years.
