The one and only Kate Moss turns 41 today and if there was anyone who know how to party in style, it’s her.
So while the supermodel is busy celebrating her 20+ year reign on the fashion industry, here are a few facts you may not have known about Kate Moss…
1. Kate’s a bit of a country gal and makes her own plum jam from fruit grown at her home in the Cotswolds.
2. At her rock and roll Great Gatsby wedding, guests sipped on the model’s very own Kate 76 cocktails, a concoction of vodka, champagne, crushed ice and sugar.
That’s one we’ll be trying on a Saturday night!
3. She’s a big fan of EastEnders – and Chelsea FC for that matter.
4. We certainly have not forgotten that Kate and the beautiful Johnny Depp were once a thing, for fours years, in fact.
For her 21st birthday, the actor threw her a surprise party at his club, The Viper Room, and flew everyone from her mum to John Galliano in to celebrate
5. In 1998, the model admitted she’d never actually walked a catwalk sober, spurring her to check into rehab at the Priory.
6. The model once got wasted on whisky backstage at a John Galliano show in Paris – though she was 16 at the time and missed school the next day…
7. Despite being one of the most famous supermodels around, she refuses to take selfies.
8. Frank Sinatra gave Kate a kiss at his 80th birthday party before erm, handing her a filterless cigarette.
9. After the huge drug scandal in 2005, she was dropped from by Chanel, Burberry and H&M but Alexander McQueen famously supported the model at Paris Fashion Week wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with the words “We love you Kate”.
10. Her daughter Lila Grace’s birth was rather glamorous – there were candles and erm, Cristal champagne…
11. The model received a lap dance from Wonder Woman at a stag do.
Her friends forced her to choose a costumed girl to get a dance from and she chose her favourite superwoman – Wonder Woman.
12. Kate’s absolutely terrified of dentists, so much so that when one of her teeth fell out in New York, she did a Calvin Klein show without it instead of getting it fixed.
13. Despite what people think, she does actually have an Instagram account – it’s just private and no one knows the user name but her close friends and family.
14. Legend has it her baby’s daddy, Jefferson Hack (the editor at Dazed), told her she “smelt of pee” as he interviewed her back in the 90s.
The weird chat-up line clearly worked though as the pair dated for quite a while and had a daughter together.
15. Staying true to British stereotypes, she’s an actual tea addict, drinking 10 to 15 cups a day and gets her tea leaves read afterwards.
16. If there was one fashion faux pas she really regrets, it’s the dungarees…
