Poppy Angela Delevingne (born 3 May 1986) is an English socialite, actress and model.

Family and personal life

Delevingne was born on 3 May 1986, in London, one of three daughters of property developer Charles Hamar Delevingne and Pandora Anne Delevingne (née Stevens). She grew up in Belgravia and attended the independent Bedales School. She is the elder sister of model and actress Cara Delevingne. Delevingne's maternal grandfather was publishing executive and English Heritage chairman Sir Jocelyn Stevens. Her paternal grandmother was the socialite The Hon. Angela Margo Hamar Greenwood.

Delevingne is a muse and friend of fashion designer Matthew Williamson, and previously shared a New York apartment with actress Sienna Miller.

In October 2012, Delevingne became engaged to James Cook, a former model, who works for his family's aerospace company. They were married in May 2014. In March 2023, it was announced that Delevingne was dating Prince Constantine Alexios of Greece and Denmark, creating speculation that Delevingne and Cook have separated permanently.

Career

In 2004, Delevingne was featured on the music video "Sunday Morning" by Maroon 5, as the karaoke singer in Japan.

Delevingne was spotted by Storm Management founder Sarah Doukas in 2008.

She has modelled for brands such as Shiatzy Chen, Laura Ashley, Anya Hindmarch, Alberta Ferretti, and Burberry, has walked the runway for brands including Julien Macdonald and Giles Deacon, and has worked with photographers such as Terry Richardson. Having caught the eye of designer Marc Jacobs, she became the face of the Louis Vuitton summer 2012 collection. Delevingne has graced the covers of Vogue (Turkey), Harper's Bazaar (Korea), Elle (Mexico, Ukraine, Korea, Norway) and Love.

Delevingne is a Young Ambassador for the British Fashion Council, a Chanel brand ambassador, and serves as a spokesperson representing Jo Malone London.

In 2017, Delevingne played the role of Clara Von Gluckfberg in Kingsman: The Golden Circle, and the role of Adrianna Colonna in The Aspern Papers directed by Julien Landais.

In 2020 Delevingne teamed up with her sisters (the older Chloe and the younger Cara) to launch Della Vite, an award-winning, sustainably-produced, vegan range of Prosecco wines. This Italian beverage had long been a family favourite; the brand was named after the phrase "of the vine" (Della Vite in Italian and Delevingne in French).

In 2023 it was announced that Delevingne will appear in Rohit Karn Batra's drama The Gun on Second Street. Her role has yet to be announced.
