Tali Lennox, Annie's Daughter, Kicks Off Modeling Career (PHOTOS)

This week, The Cut caught up with runway newcomer Tali Lennox, daughter of rocker Annie Lennox. The 17-year-old is signed with Next Models and has already graced the catwalk for Prada, Roberto Cavalli, Burberry and Missoni. Tali said, "My family is very supportive; they have a lot of faith and trust in me. I talk through every aspect of my job with my mum, and she's given me a lot of self-belief and wisdom. I don't talk about it that much with most of my friends. It's nice to be with people who are detached from the industry."

She also shared her most memorable experience from the last season of shows:

Speeding through Milan on a motorcycle in heels and a minidress, trying to get from the Missoni show to the Versus show, being over four hours late. I rushed in and had four people doing my hair, two people doing my makeup, and another two on nails and toes all at the same time. I heard an Italian woman repeatedly calling "Tali, Tali! Where is Tali?" I finally make it to the backstage line where all the other girls are already lined up and see that the woman calling for me is Donatella Versace! The show set was like a playground, and I felt like the naughty girl at fashion school!

Check out some images of Tali on and off the runway.

I think she is pretty. She definitely has what IT takes to model. She just has a "look" and I like it.

I think Anne is more attractive.

everything annie lennox touches is beautiful.

She is not conventionally pretty, but she has something better - an interesting face which has depth. I think she is beautiful.

[Amber Troska]

Agreed. She has that same strong-featured, androgynous appearance that her mother carries so beautifully.

how original a career in fashion - don't any of these overprivileged, entitled children of famous people just want to be regular folk? how about science or philanthropy...must be some genetic predisposition to be addicted to fame - YAWN

You would think someone like Christie Brinkley's daughter would become a model but Alexa is a wonderful singer, very surprised that Annie Lennox raised a daughter to be a fashion model. isn't that for girls who can't get into the good schools because of their less than average ACT's.

[copelli21]

With all due respect, Alexa does not have the looks to be a model, so it seems appropriate (and smart of her) to stick with her strengths and talent and follow in the footsteps of her singing father, Billy Joel.

Aw come on, in 2010 you're promoting stereotypes long past their use by date. Come back when you join us in the present.

She is barely pretty.

[Amanda Donovan]

what is "pretty"? she is certainly striking, interesting and a chameleon, and photographs well. the clothes hang well on her body. "pretty" is for pageants.

[Amber Troska]

I can't remember who said it, I think it may have been Van Gogh: "The ugly may be beautiful, the pretty never." Not that I think this girl is in any way ugly, but you get the meaning. Cookie-cutter pretty wears thin very quickly, but something more interesting holds the eye and mind much longer.

You know, I really like her solo music but have to say I am really shocked her daughter is getting into modeling. Her constant talk on vegetarianism, aids stuff, immigration, world peace, blah blah blah and then she raises a daughter who wants to be a model? It's like didn't she teach or preach her own daughter any of that stuff she forces down the throats of the entire UK public? I've lost all respect for her. Always on about this and that, how women should this, women should that and they she raises a model.

You can't control or dictate who your child will become in life. Do I really need to tell you this? I'm not even going to get into all the various numerous examples.

[HeyHeyNow]

she raised her daughter to do what she wanted to do ... what's wrong with that?

[farginbastidge]

She's very pretty in the shots where she's smiling. Her mom still looks great--I've always envied her ability to pull off that haircut.

[yoli647]

Never heard of Annie Lennox.l

Wow. You've missed out.

You must be really young.

It's no wonder so much pop music today sucks. The "fans" have apparently never heard anything worth listening to!

Lets hope she can sing....or alternatively, that she can afford rhinoplasty.

[Amanda Donovan]

10:27 PM on 12/20/2010

thats rude.

[stevebol2]

Lovely, just like her mom.

[Kendall Hawley]

01:43 AM on 12/19/2010

She has an interesting face- it can totally carry the androgynous thing with the strong jaw, or it can be completely softened up. I love that Miu Miu top.

[StephenJK]

09:46 AM on 12/19/2010

I don't get the fashion world's fascinations with A) rail thin women and B) the androgynous thing. They want the little girls to look like little boys? Who runs the fashion world? A gay pedophile?

[copelli21]

LOL.....that ain't right, but it is funny.

D.u.m.b.e.s.t comment of the day, but it's early, so you might very well be outdone by someone else from the shallow end of the gene pool.

The fashion world is run by magazine editors, none of whom happen to be "g@y pe.do.philes."

Anna Wintour runs the fashion world; Carine Roitfeld runs the fashion world; Glenda Bailey and Franca Sozzoni run the fashion world. It's ruled by rich, powerful women, materialistic women, who spend all day perched atop their ivory towers, deciding who/what will be considered beautiful & fashionable six months from now, and that includes the type of models used in shows/editorials.

Nice thinly-veiled swipe at g@y men, though. You sound like a r.u.b.e.
