Lila Moss, the 23-year-old daughter of supermodel Kate Moss, has been soaking up the sun in the Cayman Islands, sharing a series of stunning holiday snaps with her followers. The young model took to Instagram on Wednesday to post images that showcased her enviable figure in a black bikini, while also offering a glimpse into her burgeoning business success.
Island Glamour and Childhood Throwbacks
In her latest social media post, Lila Moss looked effortlessly chic. One mirror selfie captured her wearing a bikini top paired with lace shorts, while another showed her lounging on a sunbed, accessorised with a bandana and sipping from a coconut. She humorously captioned the post, 'Gotta protect the scalp.' The carousel of photos also included an adorable childhood throwback picture, proving her long-standing fondness for bandanas.
Her holiday wardrobe didn't stop there. She was also seen in a stunning yellow dress and later flashed her abs in a black crop top, demonstrating the versatile model looks she has become known for in campaigns for major brands like Miu Miu, Pepe Jeans, and Marc Jacobs Beauty.
Inheriting More Than Just Good Looks
While the holiday pictures turned heads, it's Lila Moss's business acumen that is now making serious waves. Newly published company accounts reveal that Grace Grove Ltd, the firm she set up in 2021, has reported profits of £1 million. The company is named after the road in Highgate, north London, where her family once lived.
Financial details show that Lila, whose father is magazine editor Jefferson Hack, is sitting on assets of £1.3 million before bills. The accounts also note she owes her business £670,000 by way of a director's loan. This financial savvy appears to be a trait inherited from her mother, Kate, alongside her famous features.
Navigating Fame and Family
Despite her success, Lila's modelling career has not been without its challenges, often facing accusations of nepotism due to her famous lineage. However, she has been candid about forging her own path. In a 2023 interview with British Vogue, she stated, 'I don’t know that my mum expected me to go into fashion, really.'
She described their contrasting personalities, noting her own organised and disciplined nature compared to her mother's more intuitive and carefree approach. 'I know what I’m doing on a Wednesday afternoon a month from now, whereas she has a more… lax approach to timekeeping,' Lila explained. Despite living in New York, she revealed they FaceTime every day, and Kate remains her primary source of career advice.
Kate Moss has also spoken about their unique relationship, telling Vogue that her daughter now sets rules for her, such as wearing SPF50 and quitting smoking. She expressed pride in Lila's maturity, saying, 'In a lot of ways, Lila is so much more grown-up than I was in my 20s... She understands she can say no, for one thing, which I never did.'
Standing at 5ft 6in, shorter than the typical catwalk model, Lila Moss is clearly carving out a formidable career on her own terms, both in front of the camera and behind the scenes as a savvy businesswoman.
