Queen drummer Roger Taylor’s daughter Tigerlily is new face of international lingerie brand Bluebella
The model and university student stuns in this sexy new campaign
WITH rock superstar Roger Taylor for a dad and her mum being eighties supermodel Deborah Leng, it’s hardly a surprise that Tigerlily Taylor is the face and body of an international lingerie brand.
22-year-old Tigerlily has been modelling since she was 17, but has kept a low profile while studying for her English degree at Sussex University, and now she is thrilled to be fronting latest lingerie campaign.
Speaking about the sexy lace pieces she says: "I love the idea of buying lingerie for yourself and not just for your partner.
“It is also incredibly wearable but very sexy, too."
Starting her modelling career after being signed by Select during her A-Levels, Tigerlily feels like she’s not the typical model type.
“I was an awkward, grungy teenager and a massive tomboy. Of course I wanted to be tall and skinny but now I don't care at all.
"I am not a super skinny 6ft 10in giraffe model but I am completely comfortable with my body as it is."
Despite her success, the young model who hopes to be a journalist or author, admits that we won’t be seeing her on the catwalk as it makes her too anxious.
"You do get an incredible adrenalin rush afterwards but I find it a bit too stressful," she explained.
The stunning blonde is dating fellow model Henry Pedro-Wright, and the pair have even earned themselves the title of London’s Coolest Couple by Vogue, however this doesn’t meant they’ll be celebrating with any nuptials.
"Henry has really calmed me down, but I am never getting married,” she says.
“I don't believe in the institution. It takes away all the romance and I would feel trapped."

Speaking about her Queen icon dad Roger, 67, Tigerlily says: "He has had a pretty crazy life. He is a real intellectual. We are very similar.
However, that doesn’t mean she’s his number one fan: "I do love Queen. I think they are a great band but Led Zeppelin are my favourite.”
Bluebella founder Emily Bendell said: “We chose Tigerlily as the face of the brand because she is smart, independent and spirited with an edgy street style that epitomises UK cool.
"Our designs are confident, stylish and make a statement, we design for women who want to wear great lingerie every day for themselves."
