Ladies and gents, one of—if not the—most important models of all time turns 41 years old today. That’s right. Kate Moss is in her fourth decade—and looks better than ever, despite years of being in the public eye, highly-publicized partying, and an overall fast-paced lifestyle that few other people in the world could possibly keep up with.
After being discovered at the age of 14, she rapidly shot to fame and became synonymous with the super-skinny heroin chic aesthetic that changed the modeling industry forever.
As the world’s number one trendsetter, she’s also known for skyrocketing sales of items like the iconic Alexander McQueen skull scarf, Balenciaga’s motorcycle bag, skinny jeans, Minnetonka moccasin boots and, of course, UGG boots.
Her campaigns have been outrageously successful, and her tenure with Calvin Klein is among the most famous ad campaigns of all time. Most recently, she shocked the world by appearing in Playboy, in a sexy and tasteful spread shot by famous fashion photographers Mert and Marcus.
While her fashion contributions have been immeasurable, Kate’s also made waves with her turbulent personal life. Between her iconic love affair with Johnny Depp, dramatic relationship with Libertines frontman Pete Doherty, her cocaine arrest, and juicy drama (anyone remember that huge blow-out with then-fiance Depp at a hotel that resulted in thousands of dollars in damage?), it’s been a rough but still gorgeous ride.
To properly honor the supermodel’s 41stbirthday, we’ve rounded 25 incredible rare photos of Moss that you’ve probably never seen, but perfectly capture her fabulous, fabulous life.
