Twiggy review – Sadie Frost’s slick portrait of the world’s first supermodel | Documentary films




The story of the gamine teenager from Neasden, London, born Lesley Hornby, who in a matter of weeks became the mononymous face of the 60s, is remarkable enough in itself. But this slick documentary from actor turned director Sadie Frost (it’s her second portrait of a fashion icon, following 2021’s Quant) digs into a mercurial career that thrived on reinvention.

Twiggy’s work as a model was followed by movie acting, Broadway song-and-dance pizzazz and a stint as a TV variety show host, then came full circle back to fashion, with ventures as a designer and veteran model. The familiar machinery of the fashion doc is well oiled by celebrity talking heads, but the main draw of this very conventional film is its sunny, immensely likable subject.
