For an international model, whose 1970s blonde shag cut has graced the cover of Vogue in five different countries, Suki Waterhouse is a remarkably casual presence to share a Zoom call with. Popping up on the screen with wet hair fresh from the shower, phone in hand, she proceeds to pace around her Los Angeles home for the next hour. The 34-year-old might have 4.4 million Instagram followers but she’s also a mum with a lot to do in a short space of time.
It’s 9am in California and Waterhouse has already been up and at ‘em for a while, ticking off a “20-minute quick workout” and looking after her two-and-a-half-year-old daughter, her first child with actor Robert Pattinson. Parenthood has inevitably shifted London-born Waterhouse’s worldview, but you get the sense that the multi-hyphenate artist was probably never the precious type to begin with.
