Her father's split from actress Amber Heard may be making headlines, but today is about Lily-Rose. The breakout actress and daughter of Johnny Depp and French singer Vanessa Paradis celebrates her 17th birthday this Friday. In recognition of the occasion, we look back on seven of the greatest moments since the Hollywood it-girl's sweet 16.
1. When she played the chillest fan ever in Rejjie Snow's All Around the World video
Unveiled in July of 2015, the trippy production was Depp's music video debut.
2. When she was named a Chanel ambassador and the face of the French house's Pearl Eyewear collection
The fashion cognoscenti should've known designer Karl Lagerfeld was grooming Depp when she appeared at Chanel’s Paris-Salzburg Métiers d’Art show in New York last May. Fast forward to September 2015 and the starlet finally caught the world's eyes.
3. When she casually shared this selfie with Lagerfeld
NBD. Just Chanel's supernova with the next rising star.
4. When she acknowledged the spectrum of sexuality
Last August, Depp modeled for the Self Evident Truths Project, a "photographic record of 10k people in the US who are ANYWHERE on the LGBTQI spectrum." During the shoot, Depp told founder and friend, iO Tillett Wright, that she identified as sexually fluid.
"I was literally doing it just to say that you don’t have to label your sexuality; so many kids these days are not labeling their sexuality and I think that’s so cool," Depp later told Nylon magazine.
5. When she made us all fall in Love over her first major magazine cover
6. When she was crowned the face of Chanel's new fragrance, No. 5 L'Eau
7. When she slayed the red carpet at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival while promoting her new film, La danseuse (The Dancer)
The Dancer is just one of three forthcoming films starring Depp. The up-and-coming entertainer will also appear in Kevin Smith's Yoga Hosers and Rebecca Zlotowski's Planetarium.
All in all, we'd say it's been a pretty sweet 16. Here's to another year of professional highs. Happy birthday, Lily-Rose!
