Alice Dellal (born 29 July 1987) is a Brazilian-British model. She is associated with NEXT Model Management. Daughter of Brazilian model mother, Andrea, and Iraqi-British born father, Guy Dellal, Alice is an heiress to the property tycoon, grandfather Jack Dellal who was a Baghdadi Jewish billionaire. Her parents split up when she was seven and Alice went to live in Brazil with her mother, but they returned to Knightsbridge and five years ago her parents remarried.

Her brother, Alex Dellal, runs east London gallery 20 Hoxton Square, and her sister, Charlotte Olympia Dellal, is the creator behind Charlotte Olympia. Her first cousins include actresses Jemima Kirke and Lola Kirke. She was educated at Bedales School, Hampshire.

In 2008 she was the face of Mango and the body of the Agent Provocateur collection. Known for her half-shaved head and her punk/rock look, she is also Mario Testino's muse. [1] [2]

In 2011, she was chosen by Karl Lagerfeld to be the new face for the new 'boy' bag Chanel campaign. [3]

Alice is also a drummer for Thrush Metal, an all-girl band of four best friends who not only decided to start their own band, but also created their own record label, Sweet Dick Music. Thrush Metal was formed by Dellal with two other models, Emma Chitty (bassist) and Laura Fraser (vocalist), and Isabella Ramsey, niece of the Earl of Dalhousie (guitar). [4] [5] [6]
