Iris Law: ‘I’ve been brought up with morals for life’

]

Iris Law has undergone a transformation. I arrive at the end of her ES Magazine beauty shoot with Dior in east London expecting to see the cherubically pretty, sweet-looking girl I follow on Instagram (along with about half a million others). Instead I’m greeted with a firm hug by a confident, no-nonsense woman with an icy blonde, freshly shaven head.

Hair, as we know, is everything and this metamorphosis is carefully planned. With her 21st birthday a few months away, the model is coming into her own. ‘I was super ready,’ she says about going under the clippers. ‘I’d been thinking about it for months and flattening my hair down to see the shape of my head. It felt really right and instantly like it was me. It was really liberating. My dad, my mum, my boyfriend… were like, “Do it, do it now, you’ll never do it again.”’

Her mum and dad, of course, are Jude Law and Sadie Frost, king and queen of the notorious Primrose Hill set of whose glamorous party lifestyles the tabloids couldn’t get enough in the 1990s. Growing up in a famously bohemian family and surrounded by creatives (the Gallaghers, Pearl Lowe, Jonny Lee Miller were all in the gang), it’s little wonder Law has followed her family into the limelight, but she is adamant it wasn’t an obvious choice. ‘No one pushed me into this [industry] because I was always very academic and focused on school,’ she says. ‘But I’m so lucky to have such amazing people to look up to who I know and can ask for advice. If there’s anything I’m doing that’s new, my parents have done before, they’re always a phone call away. It’s been really great to get some insight.’

Law also goes to godmother Kate Moss for modelling tips (she gamely demonstrates one by pressing her tongue against the roof of her mouth for a more defined jawline — ‘Look! It works, but you can’t breathe’) and ‘talks a lot’ to Stella McCartney. ‘She’s amazing and has a lot of advice for me.’ Law is currently studying textiles at Central Saint Martins and has set her sights on one day designing a collection with McCartney. ‘Hopefully we’ll end up working together. There’s no one better at sustainability than her. She’s my dream girl boss.’

At 20, Law’s list of achievements in the fashion world is impressive. Bagging her first modelling gig in 2015 for east London-based label Illustrated People, she has gone on to front campaigns for Marc Jacobs, Loewe, Stella McCartney and La Perla, and is now thrilled to be a Dior beauty ambassador. ‘I’ve always loved expressing myself. At first with fashion when I was younger because I didn’t wear make-up and then as I got older I found make-up as a new way. I enjoy doing things not to be beautiful but as a form of expression. With my make-up and my clothes, I love clashing colours and being boisterous.’ Her cosmetics-bag favourite is Dior’s Lip Glow. ‘I’ve bought one for all my friends. It’s so glossy and smells delicious.’

Just before the pandemic took hold, Law made her runway debut for Miu Miu at Paris Fashion Week AW20 alongside her friend and fellow celebrity progeny, Kaia Gerber (daughter of Cindy Crawford). She texted Gerber for advice on how to master a catwalk strut — not that it helped steady her nerves. ‘I swear to God, everything I practised went out the window,’ she laughs. ‘My legs were buckling as my feet hit the floor. I was so nervous. My legs were actually shivering, but it was so amazing and I felt great. That was my dream come true.’

Next, Law will turn her focus to acting. She is in the middle of filming Pistol, a six-part series directed by Danny Boyle about the punk scene based on Steve Jones’ 2018 memoir Lonely Boy: Tales From A Sex Pistol. Starring alongside a cast of bright young things — Talulah Riley as Vivienne Westwood, Louis Partridge as Sid Vicious and Maisie Williams as model Jordan Mooney — Law plays punk rock icon Soo Catwoman. The experience has ‘definitely changed my life’, she says, and is the reason she went for the chop. ‘I was so in awe of those women who pioneered female punk and it made me want to shave my head.’

Known among her friends (Moss’s daughter Lila is her best mate) as being hyper-sensible (‘I’m a homebody’ and ‘a Scrooge with money’), Law relished the chance to behave badly. ‘Having to do justice to the movement and being rowdy pushed me to places I never would have gone before.’ The day before our interview she was filming, she says, and had a taste of what it’s like to be on the outside. ‘We were all in our costumes and people looked offended. People looked like they were going to call the police because we looked so rowdy and aggressive. It’s interesting,’ she muses, ‘for once in my life having people looking at me going, “What the f*** is she wearing?”’

Law is determined to continue with acting and is taking classes, but it is her dad she goes to for help. ‘I tape [auditions] with my dad. He gives me great tips. But more generally I’ve been brought up with morals, not necessarily to do with acting but for life. I’ve always been told to be polite, to be on time, to be attentive, to work really hard.’

What’s the ultimate goal? ‘I know that at the rate I’m working, I’m going to need to narrow it down at some point because I want to be the best at whatever I decide. But I’m only 20, so right now I’m going to carry on doing it all.’
