The approach to life completely changed when, following a soon-to-be relationship with journalist Jefferson Hack, Moss gave birth to a child in 2002. Now her daughter Lila Grace Moss Hack, often shows up with her amidst the limelight.
Many people think that the young girl confusingly resembles her mother.

Later on, the model married Jamie Hince, singer of the band The Kills, back in 2011.

Style & Beauty: Kate Moss and the heroin chic
In her career as a model, there is hardly anyone more in demand among photographers and designers than Kate Moss: Chanel, Burberry, Dior – all the doors are open to her. This may have something to do with the fact that she is very different from what was commonly understood as a model in the 90s.
She’s not very tall, but very thin and showed herself without make-up or with dark circles under her eyes. Kate Moss says that the Heroin Chic label is associated with her; she always detested it in interviews today.
Her experiments in style are still famous today – such as the see-through slip dress she wore to the Elite Model Agency’s “Look of the Year” party in 1993. Throughout the decades, Kate Moss has been a source of fashion inspiration. Particularly when it comes to party styles, this model knows what is best combined and how.
However, also her street styles inspire her to this day. Kate Moss cleverly combines casual outfits with a certain boho flair – either elegant with a blazer or rocky with a leather jacket. Although you can’t tell by looking at her, Kate Moss turned 48 in 2021. Their daughter is already also a sought-after model, and also Kate is still in demand instead of forgotten.
