British supermodel Georgina Cooper – known for her iconic Cool Britannia cut-tooth look – has died unexpectedly at the age of 46, according to her friends and multiple reports.

According to the Daily MailCooper was hospitalized after falling ill while on holiday with her husband of several months, Nigel, on the Greek island of Kos.

They were reportedly staying at Marianna’s hotel when she became ill and was taken to hospital on October 21.

After her condition was assessed, the hospital flew her to a better equipped location on the island of Crete. She was reportedly treated for five days before she died.

Cooper’s cause of death has not been released, but WWD reports she suffered from a brain hemorrhage as a result of prolonged COVID.

Meanwhile, her former agent Dean Goodman told the Mail that she “felt unwell during Covid and had some health problems and was in and out of hospital”.

He confirmed that she “had plans for the future” and was “looking forward to her life” with her new husband.

Contrary to what the Mail reported, WWD claimed that she remained on Kos for the last days of her life.

A source on the island told the Mail that Cooper had been holidaying there for more than 20 years and traveled there for their honeymoon in July and again in October.

They added: “It was all very sudden and it’s a shock to us all.”

“He wanted to come back in May because he wanted to find a place to live and maybe start a business. It’s so sad.”

Cooper’s close friend and fellow model Jade Parfitt, 46, told the media that “friends and family are absolutely devastated”.

“Georgina was a ray of light, a very popular model who was fun, always laughing and being cheeky in all the best ways,” she added.

“We all wanted to hang out with George backstage. Her achievements in the industry have been huge.”

Cooper began modeling at age 13 after being discovered at the Elite Look of The Year contest in 1992, according to her 2018 interview with the Cultural Omnivore.

She was then signed by Premier Model Management, which was co-founded by former model Carole White. White was Naomi Campbell’s agent at the time.

At 15, the late model found success by landing a role in a Jon Bon Jovi music video, according to the Mail, and starting a fruitful partnership with one of fashion’s biggest photographers, Corinne Day.

“Corinne really liked my look — she especially liked the gap in my teeth — and she liked my personality,” Cooper told Cultural Omnivore.

“The following week we did our first shoot for Ray Gun magazine. It was an amazing time – we all had so much fun – and Corrine was brilliant to work with.”

She added: “I was so young at the time that I didn’t really understand how influential the work I was doing was until I got older and people were complimenting me on the work we did together.”

Cooper became one of the biggest faces of the 1990s and was easily one of the most recognizable due to the gap between his two front teeth. Some of her magazine covers included US Vogue and The Face.

Cooper retired from modeling when she had her son, Sonny, because she “couldn’t bear to leave him alone,” she told Cultural Omnivore.

“I tried to keep modeling but it broke my heart when I had to leave him at work,” she explained.

“I focused on modeling assignments in London, but my life was at a crossroads and I decided Sonny was first.”

He most recently worked in the hospitality industry.

Cooper was remembered by her friends, colleagues and fans on social media following the news of her death Parfitt remembers her as “one of the funniest and naughtiest” and “the most beautiful friends”.

“You were an incredibly kind and funny human being, Georgina,” fellow Cool Britannia-era model Erin O’Connor he wrote on Instagram.

“We all admired and loved you so much for the warmth, generosity and gentle mischief you brought to the world.”

She added: “It’s been ages since we (our little Britannia pack from the 90s) hung out together during the crazy carousel era known as ‘show season’ – but you ALWAYS held me for keeping it real and that you are proud of who you are. .”
