Georgina Cooper has died at the age of 46, shocking the fashion world where she was a well-known and much-loved figure during the 1990s.
Cooper rose to fame as a teenager and became a defining face of the “Cool Britannia” era. She was instantly recognizable for her gap-toothed smile and relaxed, edgy style. She worked with leading photographers and appeared in major fashion magazines, standing out during one of the most influential periods in British fashion.
Tributes have poured in from friends and colleagues, who remembered her as warm, funny, and full of life. Fellow models and industry figures described her as generous, kind, and unforgettable, both professionally and personally.
In the early 2000s, Cooper stepped away from modeling to focus on raising her son, Sonny. She later explained that motherhood became her priority and that she wanted to be present for him. In recent years, she lived a quieter life away from the spotlight.
Cooper had recently married her husband, Nigel. She became seriously ill while on holiday in Greece and died after several days in intensive care. Her cause of death has not been confirmed. She is survived by her son and husband.
