Tiger Lily Hutchence makes modelling debut — and looks just like dad Michael

THE notoriously shy daughter of late rock icon Michael Hutchence and Paula Yates is stepping in front of the lens — and she looks just like dad.

Famously shy, she’s now stepping in front of the camera.

FAMOUSLY shy Tiger Lily Hutchence has made her modelling debut for a Fairtrade-registered shirt factory in Southern India.

The only daughter of the late INXS frontman Michael Hutchence and Paula Yates has emerged from her low-key existence to parade cotton shirts for London-based House of Khadi.

Simple style.

Following in the footstep of her Live Aid hero stepfather Sir Bob Geldof, the 20-year-old, who is a spitting image of her famous father, is supporting a campaign to raise $17,000 to cover production costs of five shirt designs.

Tiger Lily was just over a year old when her father was found dead, aged 37, in room 524 of the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Double Bay, Sydney, a death coroners later ruled as suicide.

Tiger Lily has previously turned down modelling offers.

Adding to the tragedy, she was only four when her television presenter mother suffered a fatal drugs overdose. Her sister Peaches Geldof died in similar circumstances to her mother two years ago.

Tiger Lily, whose full name is Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily Hutchence Geldof, turned down lucrative modelling contracts after Peaches’ death to study acting in New York and escape the spotlight.

Today she lives a low-key life with her stepfather in a mansion in rural Kent, England.
