She also made a swift and impressive entry into the modelling world, marked by a stand-out moment working alongside Romeo Beckham in a 2014 Burberry campaign. In a chat with British Vogue, she reminisced about how the opportunity came up unexpectedly while she was on holiday, “so I had to jump off the plane and go straight to Burberry when I got back”, she said.
