British supermodel Georgina Cooper, famed for her role in ‘Cool Britannia’ and close friendship with Kate Moss, tragically passed away at the age of 46 on the Greek island of Kos. She was vacationing there with her new husband, just months after their wedding.
Cooper, who was a trailblazer in the fashion world, received tributes from fellow models like Jade Parfitt, Erin O’Connor, and Helena Christensen, all of whom remembered her as a “ray of light” and an influential figure in the fashion industry. Her passing has left her family, friends, and fans heartbroken.
The model fell ill suddenly on October 21 while staying at a local hotel and was rushed to intensive care in Crete after her condition worsened. Despite doctors’ efforts, she passed away five days later. Georgina had a long history with Greece, frequently visiting the island, and had even honeymooned there earlier that year.
Cooper’s career began at just 13, and she became one of the defining faces of the ’90s, known for her distinctive gap-toothed look. After taking a break to raise her son, she later worked in hospitality in Kent. Her legacy lives on, remembered by her peers as both a modeling icon and a loving mother.
Friends and family mourn her untimely death, sharing their sorrow on social media. Supermodel Erin O’Connor, in a heartfelt tribute, called her “a phenomenal woman,” emphasizing her warmth, generosity, and spirit that will never be forgotten.
