British supermodel Georgina Cooper has passed away at the age of 46. Jade Parfitt, fellow British model and presenter, expressed her grief, saying, “Devastated to share the news of George’s passing.
One of the funniest and naughtiest, never mind most beautiful friends, we all wanted to hang out with George backstage. Sending so much love to her son, family, and friends. Gone too soon.”
Cooper, who rose to fame in the 1990s during the Cool Britannia era, had recently married, according to her former agent. Tributes poured in from colleagues across the fashion industry.
Her former agent, Dean Goodman, expressed his shock: “I’m in total shock, and I just spoke to her recently about meeting up after her marriage.
She was the original gap-toothed girl! I will miss her immensely. Rest in peace, Georgie girl—I’ll never forget you and will always love you. See you on the other side.”
Cooper began her modeling career at age 13 when her mother entered her in the Elite Look of the Year contest in 1992, where she placed third.
In a 2018 interview with *The Cultural Omnivore*, Cooper shared that she had taken a step back from modeling after the birth of her son, Sonny, to work in the hospitality industry.
It was reported that the mother-of-one was in Greece at the time of her passing.
