British supermodel Georgina Cooper has passed away at the age of 46, leaving her friends, family, and the fashion industry in deep sorrow. Known for her vibrant personality and unique beauty, Cooper became a beloved figure on the fashion scene, especially during the iconic 1990s era known as “Cool Britannia.” Fellow model and presenter Jade Parfitt shared her heartbreak, describing Cooper as one of the “funniest and naughtiest” people, whose presence backstage was always eagerly anticipated.
Parfitt extended her condolences to Cooper’s family and son, Sonny, expressing the profound loss felt by those close to her. Cooper’s untimely death has shocked and saddened many across the industry, who remember her not only for her looks but for her unforgettable personality.
Cooper first entered the world of modeling at just 13, when her mother entered her into the Elite Look of the Year contest in 1992, where she secured third place. This early exposure launched her career, leading her to prominence as a top British model known for her distinctive gap-toothed smile.
Her former agent, Dean Goodman, recalled her fondly as the “original gap-toothed girl,” describing her as someone who left a lasting mark on him and everyone she met. Recently married, Cooper was planning to reconnect with her old friends and colleagues, according to Goodman, who expressed disbelief and sadness at her sudden passing.
Her death has prompted an outpouring of tributes from across the fashion industry, where her influence and unique style made her a memorable figure.
In recent years, Cooper had shifted her focus away from modeling, particularly after the birth of her son, Sonny. In a 2018 interview, she shared that she had left the modeling world to work in hospitality, finding fulfillment in a different industry. Despite stepping back, her impact on fashion remained strong, as she inspired a generation of models with her effortless beauty and charm.
Cooper was reportedly in Greece at the time of her passing, adding to the sense of tragedy surrounding her loss. Her legacy as a model and beloved friend endures, with memories of her warmth, humor, and kindness continuing to resonate within the fashion community and beyond.
