Lily-Rose Depp

Lily-Rose Depp is a French-American actress and singer. She is known for her roles in independent films and major productions, as well as her work as a model. Depp gained significant attention for her role as Jocelyn in the 2023 HBO series The Idol, and her single from the soundtrack, "One of the Girls," achieved over a billion streams on Spotify. Her performance in the 2024 film Nosferatu also received critical acclaim. In 2024, she released her debut EP, marking a notable step into her music career. Depp is recognized for her distinctive style, blending French chic with Hollywood allure, and for her introspective, character-focused performances. She continues to be a prominent Chanel ambassador and explore diverse creative endeavors.[edit]

Lily-Rose Melody Depp was born on May 27, 1999, in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France, to actor Johnny Depp and singer Vanessa Paradis. Growing up, she was immersed in the worlds of film and music, often shuttling between France and Los Angeles and traveling with her parents on various film sets. Her mother even recorded a track titled "La Ballade De Lily Rose" for her 2000 album Bliss, which notably featured baby Lily-Rose herself on the recording. During her childhood, one of her closest friends was Harley Quinn Smith, the daughter of director Kevin Smith, a connection that would later lead to collaborative film projects.

Following her parents' separation in 2012, Lily-Rose and her younger brother Jack primarily settled in the United States. She attended private schools in Los Angeles, where she proved to be a dedicated student, participating in the debate team and showcasing her talents in dance and music performances. Initially, Depp harbored aspirations of becoming a singer, but as she began auditioning, she discovered a greater comfort and natural aptitude for being in front of the camera. Her first on-screen appearance came at the age of fifteen, a minor role in Kevin Smith's horror comedy Tusk (2014), a part she filmed during a school break.

The year 2014 also marked her entry into the fashion world when she was scouted for modeling. Her rise was swift, and at just sixteen years old, she was handpicked by Karl Lagerfeld to become a prominent face for Chanel, gracing runway shows and fronting major campaigns. Her acting career quickly gained momentum thereafter. She secured a breakout role as the young dancer Isadora Duncan in the French film The Dancer (2016). This demanding part required rigorous dance training and earned her a Cesar nomination, firmly establishing her as a serious and promising performer. [edit]

Depp's breakthrough came in 2016 with The Dancer, a French period drama about Loie Fuller and Isadora Duncan. Her performance earned a Cesar Award nomination for Most Promising Actress, making her one of the youngest nominees in that category. She followed with the romantic comedy A Faithful Man (2018), directed by and co-starring Louis Garrel, and the Netflix historical drama The King (2019), where she held her own opposite Timothee Chalamet and Robert Pattinson.

In 2023, she made her television debut in HBO's controversial series The Idol, playing a pop star named Jocelyn. The show drew mixed reactions, but Depp's performance was widely praised, and her song from the series, "One of the Girls," became an unexpected hit. It charted on the Billboard Hot 100 and crossed one billion streams on Spotify, introducing her to a new audience as a singer. She capitalized on that momentum by releasing her debut EP in 2024.

The same year, she starred in Robert Eggers' Nosferatu, a gothic horror retelling of the classic vampire story. Critics highlighted her layered portrayal of a young woman possessed by a dark force, calling it her most accomplished work yet. The film premiered to strong reviews and positioned her as a leading actress in prestige genre cinema. Depp continues to balance film roles with music, and remains a global ambassador for Chanel, a role she has held since 2015. [edit]

Depp is often described as an "it girl" with a distinctive blend of French elegance and California cool. Her long association with Chanel, beginning at age sixteen when Karl Lagerfeld personally chose her as a brand ambassador, cemented her fashion credibility. She favors a moody, minimalist aesthetic on red carpets and in her personal style, often wearing vintage-inspired pieces and dark, tailored looks.

In her work, she gravitates toward intense, psychologically complex characters in period or genre films, which has shaped her reputation as a serious actress rather than a celebrity offspring coasting on family name. Her social media presence is relatively low-key compared to peers; she posts selectively, mostly promoting projects or sharing artistic photography. Fans appreciate her dry humor and the way she navigates the industry on her own terms. She does not have an official fandom name, but her supporters often refer to themselves simply as her fans on platforms like Instagram, where she has over 8 million followers. [edit]

Lily-Rose Depp commands a fanbase defined by organic admiration rather than organized mobilization. Unlike pop stars with unified armies, her supporters coalesce around her status as a fashion icon and actress, drawn to her minimalist aesthetic and lineage without the structured campaigns of subway ads or chart-pushing projects. Her digital presence remains strictly curated; she maintains only one verified Instagram account with approximately eight million followers, explicitly stating it is her sole social media outlet, while other platforms remain silent or unofficial. This privacy fosters a culture of observation rather than interaction, where fans track her career through high-fashion appearances and critical acclaim for roles in films like The Idol and Nosferatu rather than direct engagement rituals. Recent lore has crystallized around her professional reputation, particularly reports from August 2026 detailing how Jennie of BLACKPINK credited Depp with mentoring her during the filming of The Idol, a narrative that underscores peer respect over viral chaos. Additionally, the July 2026 trailer for the horror film Werwulf sparked discussion regarding a controversial transformation, positioning her upcoming work as a potential career-defining shift from her established style. While she lacks a formal fandom name or documented fan-funded initiatives, her influence persists through consistent street-style trends and iconic moments at events like the 2026 Met Gala. Despite this significant cultural footprint, iFANN's Global Fame Engine has evaluated Lily-Rose Depp but she does not currently hold a placement in the published rankings (Global Top 1,000 or a Top-100 scope list).[edit]

Her godfather is Marilyn Manson, a fact she has acknowledged in interviews. She is bilingual, switching effortlessly between English and French. The song La Ballade De Lily Rose on her mother's 2000 album Bliss was recorded when she was just a baby. She has been credited with sparking a trend of young people wearing wired headphones again after being photographed with them in 2023. Her childhood best friend Harley Quinn Smith appears with her in several Kevin Smith movies. She possesses a dry, dark sense of humor that friends often mention in profiles. A notable piece of recent industry lore involves her mentorship dynamic with Jennie of BLACKPINK during the filming of The Idol, where reports surfaced in August 2026 clarifying that Depp guided Jennie's acting performance rather than the reverse. Furthermore, the July 2026 release of a trailer for the horror film Werwulf generated buzz for a controversial transformation, which fans and critics are discussing as a potential career-defining shift from her usual aesthetic.[edit]

Lily-Rose is the elder child of actor Johnny Depp and singer-actress Vanessa Paradis. Her younger brother, John Christopher "Jack" Depp III, was born in 2002. Her aunt on her mother's side is actress Alysson Paradis. Her godfather is musician Marilyn Manson. After her parents separated in 2012, she and Jack split time between homes in France and Los Angeles, eventually settling more permanently in the US. She has spoken about being close to both parents and maintaining a strong bond with her brother. As of 2026, she does not have children and lives primarily in Los Angeles with her partner, rapper 070 Shake. [edit]

Depp's first publicly known relationship was with French director and actor Louis Garrel in 2017, after they met on the set of A Faithful Man. The age gap of 16 years drew some media attention, but the couple dated quietly until around the film's release in 2018. Later that year, she began dating actor Timothee Chalamet, her co-star in The King. They were spotted together frequently and became one of Hollywood's most talked-about young couples before splitting amicably in 2019.

Later in 2019, she was linked to actor Austin Butler after they were seen together at events, though the relationship remained low-profile and ended within a year. In the early 2020s, she was briefly rumored to be dating rapper Yassine Stein, but details are scarce. In 2023, Depp confirmed her relationship with rapper and singer 070 Shake (Danielle Balbuena). They have been together since, making public appearances and sharing glimpses of their life on social media. As of 2026, she is in a relationship with 070 Shake. [edit]

Per iFANN's editorial analysis, Lily-Rose Depp's net worth in 2026 stands at $8 Million. Her primary income derives from acting salaries for film and television projects. She earned a reported mid-six-figure sum for her role in The Idol, and her starring part in Nosferatu likely commanded a higher fee following the show's visibility. Her Chanel ambassadorship, which began in 2015 and continues as of 2026, serves as a significant and steady source of income, with multi-year contracts reportedly worth several hundred thousand dollars annually. Music has become a growing revenue stream. Her single One of the Girls generated substantial streaming royalties after surpassing one billion streams on Spotify, and her 2024 debut EP added to that income. She also earns from brand endorsements and sponsored social media posts, though she keeps such partnerships selective. Depp does not own major real estate publicly documented; she rents a home in Los Angeles. Unlike her father, she has not pursued high-profile business ventures or investments. Her net worth has grown steadily from an estimated $3 million in 2020 to $8 Million in 2026, reflecting her expanding career across film, television, music, and fashion.[edit]

Depp has received several nominations but no major award wins to date. She was nominated for Most Promising Actress at the 42nd Cesar Awards for her role in The Dancer (2017). Her performance in Nosferatu (2024) earned nominations from several critics' circles, including Best Actress nods, but she has not yet taken home a trophy. Her work has been recognized more for its promise than for prizes, with critics often highlighting her potential. [edit]
