The net worth, musical career and interesting facts about Suki Waterhouse
Modelling career
While Suki Waterhouse may be a globally recognised persona today, the London-born singer and actor started out as a young model at 16. Her maiden campaigns were for brands such as Marks and Spencer and Alice + Olivia by Stacey Bendet, among others. However, it wasn’t until she was discovered by Elliott Smedley, creative consultant for Christopher Bailey, then President and chief creative officer of Burberry, that she signed her first major modelling campaign. In 2014, Waterhouse became the face of the Burberry Brit Rhythm fragrance and since then, she has worked with several high-end brands. Currently, she is the ambassador of BOSS Watches, Jewellery, and Eyewear alongside American football quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
From runway to front row, Waterhouse’s journey to celebrity has been extraordinary. After walking the ramp for some of the biggest brands, she now features regularly on red carpets, wearing couture. Her style file includes some high-end labels from high fashion brands like Gucci, Valentino, and Elie Saab. Among her two memorable Met Gala looks, her 2014 debut saw her walk the red carpet n a beautifully layered, frilly pink gown by Burberry. Nearly nine years later, she returned to the iconic fashion extravaganza in a stunning sheer silk tulle dress by Fendi.
Musical debut and albums
The speciality of Suki Waterhouse is how amazingly decorated her pop culture portfolio is, ranging from modelling to music to acting. While her choice of expanding her portfolio from modelling to music does not seem like a natural progression, she has shared that music has always fascinated her. Speaking to The Rolling Stone after the release of her debut album I Can’t Let Go in 2022, Waterhouse recalled watching the likes of Amy Winehouse perform early on in her teenage years. Looking back on her childhood and its connection to music, she also told The Guardian how she got her first guitar around the age of 13, revealing that music has always been a big part of her life.
In her debut album, Waterhouse channelled retro vibes and sought inspiration from country singer Lucinda Williams. Cinematically she was also influenced by the classic Thelma & Louise and set out to release music that “sounds good in the middle of the desert.” Every track from I Can’t Let Go reflected a different phase of her life with lyrics that found a middle ground between her good friend Taylor Swift and, and Taylor Swift’s good friend Lana Del Rey.
Known for bringing a dreamy, vintage vibe to her songs, Waterhouse has often cited Sharon Van Etten and Alanis Morissette as her musical role models. Their influences can certainly be spotted in the singer’s acoustic track Slip, and the pandemic ballad My Mind. Her most famous track, Good Looking, however, owes its popularity to TikTok as it went viral on the platform soon after the release of her EP Milk Teeth. Many fans believe the hit song, which she also performed at Coachella 2024, is about her longtime boyfriend, (now fiance) Robert Pattinson.
After performing at Coachella merely six weeks after giving birth to her daughter, Waterhouse is all set to elevate her rockstar mom image with her upcoming Eras tour performance. Following her Wembley act, the musician is also gearing up for the release of her new album titled Memoir of a Sparklemuffin, which is slated to drop in September 2024.

In the movie, Waterhouse portrayed Mary Brunner, known for being Manson’s first follower and for also giving birth to his child.
In one of her most memorable screen appearances, Waterhouse appeared as a character called Ms. Norman in Pokémon Detective Pikachu (2019). The character was the bodyguard of Howard Clifford (Bill Nighy), and in a surprising twist later turns out to be a Ditto hiding in plain sight.

After becoming a known face in the movie and television industry, Suki Waterhouse also found her way into the inner circle of Taylor Swift. The duo have been friends since October 2016 when they were first photographed sporting colour-coordinated outfits while attending a private Kings of Leon concert as per US Weekly. Over the long course of their friendship, Waterhouse has also earned the tag of Swift’s most-trusted friend, and in an interview with Ssense, Swift described her friendship with Suki, saying, “She is the wildest person I know who I would also trust to keep any secret.”
Dating history and famous relationships
Apart from her work, the British pop star, model, and actor has also made headlines for her romantic conquests. Suki Waterhouse has been in several high-profile relationships, and among her most famous exes is Bradley Cooper. The couple dated between 2013 to 2015 and even raised eyebrows for their 17-year age gap considering she was 21 and Cooper was 38 at the time. Recently, Waterhouses’ comments about her past relationship with Cooper created a stir, since it did not sit well with his current girlfriend Gigi Hadid.
The model reportedly got upset over Waterhouse’s remarks in an interview with Vogue. In the interview, Waterhouse described her time with Cooper as a “dark and difficult” chapter of her 20s. We’re betting that this awkward beef between Hadid and Waterhouse has put their mutual close friend Taylor Swift in a tough spot.

In 2016, the musician began dating Mexican actor Diego Luna. The couple dated for over a year before calling it quits.
