This English model has Jude Law and Sadie Frost as her parents—already winning in life from the moment she was born. Law made her first official on-camera appearance in Vogue when she was a toddler and later discovered her potential as a model with photoshoots for a brand named Illustrated People in her teens. Subsequently, she was recruited to become the face of Burberry’s beauty campaign. The young stunner has also starred in campaigns for top brands such as Versace, Marc Jacobs, and Moschino, and has walked in runway shows for Miu Miu, Missoni and more.
Law also has a few acting experiences, starring in the movie I’ve Been Trying To Tell You and the miniseries Pistol. Off the runway, she’s a Gen Z It-girl who flaunts her bold style with vibrant colours and daring cut-outs.

She was even dressed by the French label for her first Met Gala this year.
Jobs is the youngest of four daughters, with a net worth of 20 billion US dollars, according to Forbes. She’s got both beauty and brains, graduating from Stanford University before becoming pursuing modelling

Currently, she’s thriving as the new face of Maje and is constantly creating her own iconic runway moments, including participating in the Victoria’s Secret 2023 tour.
Her best outfit style moments to date? It has got to be the matching mother-daughter looks, such as the one at the Fendace SS22 runway and matching Fendi pieces at the Met Gala earlier this year.
