    Early life[edit]

    Geldof is the third daughter of Bob Geldof and Paula Yates.[4][5] She is also the biological granddaughter of Hughie Green. Pixie had two sisters, Fifi Trixibelle Geldof (born 1983) and Peaches Geldof (1989–2014), and has a half-sister, Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily Hutchence Geldof (born 1996), from her mother's relationship with INXS frontman Michael Hutchence. Her great-grandmother was Jewish.[6]

    Career[edit]

    Modelling[edit]

    Her first magazine cover modelling appearance was for Tatler in 2008.[7] She has also been the face of advertising campaigns for Levi's, Diesel, Henry Holland, Razzle, Agent Provocateur, Loewe and Pringle of Scotland, as well as modelling for Vivienne Westwood, Luella and Jeremy Scott. She modelled for Debenhams in 2010.[citation needed]

    Music[edit]

    Geldof is the lead singer of the band Violet,[8] who released their first single in May 2012.[9] She was scheduled to DJ at the 2014 Coachella in April but cancelled it due to the death of her sister.[10]

    She released her first album I'm Yours in November 2016. It was recorded in Los Angeles and produced by Tony Hoffer.[11]

    Activism[edit]

    Geldof has a passion for marine wildlife, especially sharks.[12] She is an advocate for marine conservation and was one of the ambassadors for the #PassOnPlastic campaign against the pollution of water by single use plastic led by Project Zero and Sky Ocean Rescue.[13]

    She also advocates against animal testing in the cosmetic industry. In October 2018, she was part of a delegation that went to the United Nations in New York City to present a petition launched by The Body Shop to end cosmetic animal testing worldwide.[14]

    Personal life[edit]

    As of February 2013, Geldof lived in Upper Clapton with George Barnett, drummer of These New Puritans.[15] The couple married in June 2017 in Majorca.[16] They have one child, a daughter born in 2021.[17]

    Geldof is a vegan[18] and advocates against animal testing.[18]
