The only model who has appeared on 4 international September issues of Vogue in one year.
One early fashion photo-shoot assignment involved her being sawed in half by a magician. Using the then-new "Impossible Sawing" version of the famous illusion, she was apparently divided in two at the waist by a circular saw and her halves separated without any boxes or other coverings over her body.

Went to Kenya with her husband and family as part of a campaign to bring awareness to Save the Elephants. The trip was also a photoshoot for Glamour magazine.
(November 7, 2010) Married her boyfriend of 14 months Sunnery James.
