Born in Devon, England, on April 18, 1987, Rosie is the oldest of three children and a distant relative of Queen Victoria. She was discovered in 2003 while attending Tavistock College. Always interested in fashion, she had her sights set on a career behind the camera until she walked into London's Profile Model Management looking for a little work experience. Instead of giving her an internship, the agency quickly signed her.
Rosie modeled locally for about a year before signing with Women Management in 2004; she landed on the covers of ELLEgirl and Teen Vogue that same year. Since her bright beginning, Rosie has appeared in many monthlies, including Elle and Japanese, Spanish, Chinese, Italian, and British Vogue, in whose November 2008 issue she was featured alongside Eden Clark and Jourdan Dunn in a feature celebrating the newest crop of British models.
Not a girl to be confined to glossy pages, Rosie found a home on the runway as well, making her debut in September 2004 in the Nicole Miller and Vivienne Tam shows in New York. She continued her tour of the runways for Dsquared2, Just Cavalli, Moschino, Valentino, Betsey Johnson, Oscar de la Renta, Paul Smith, and Elie Saab in 2005. And 2006 and 2007 saw Rosie walking for Heatherette, Max Azria, Vera Wang, Marchesa, and Rock & Republic.
As for campaigns, Rosie, most notably a Victoria’s Secret Bombshell, has worked with Burberry, Thomas Wylde, & Loewe.
Fashion is not just Rosie's day job: she is a trendsetter on and off the runway, rocking such signature looks as short hemlines and of-the-moment clutches. She makes waves at every Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala, to which she always wears Burberry. In 2009 she was nominated as Model of the Year at the British Fashion Awards.
This English girl lives between NYC and London and is often spotted out on the town with boyfriend Jason Statham. She loves surfing and the green movement, and will never leave the house without grooming her eyebrows. Other Rosie favorites: steak, chips, and Diet Coke.
It is hard to pinpoint Rosie’s biggest fan but photographer Rankin might be a shoe-in. In 2010 he dedicated an entire tome to the British beauty titled Ten Times Rosie in which Rosie embodies ten different personalities while showing off the designs of Paula Thomas of Thomas Wilde. Rosie also has quite the male following and landed the top spot on Maxim’s 2011 Hot 100.
Rosie famously landed her first acting role in Michael Bay’s Transformers: Dark of the Moon replacing franchise star Megan Fox and catapulting her career as a screen siren. Although she doesn’t have any more titles in the works we are sure that this bombshell has quite the career ahead of her.
