Lily Cole may have kicked off her career in modelling but over the last few years we have seen her more and more on the big screen.
And she is back this week as she teams up with director Mary Harron for The Moth Diaries; the first horror movie for the actress.
It was back in 2006 when Cole made her big screen debut as she was cast as Polly in St Trinian's.
Since then she has worked in a wide ranger of genres as she has honed her craft and tried to make a name for herself as an actress - and she has starred in some very interesting projects along the way.
Rage followed St. Trinian's but it was to be The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus that was to provide her with her first leading role.
She played Valentina in the Terry Gilliam directed movie that saw her star alongside Heath Ledger, Christopher Plummer and Andrew Garfield.
The fantasy movie was one of the most original things to hit the big screen in 2009 and Cole grabbed the attention of many with her great performance.
She moved between shorts and features over the next couple of years with Passage and There Be Dragons, before moving into TV.
That TV project came in the form of Doctor Who as she became one of the many stars that appeared in the hit TV show.
The Curse of the Black Spot was the third episode in the sixth series and saw Cole star alongside Matt Smith, Karen Gillan as well as fellow guest stars Hugh Bonneville and Oscar Lloyd.
Confession of a Child of the Century was the last time that we saw Cole on the big screen but now she is back.
The Moth Diaries is a big screen adaptation of the 2002 novel of the same name by Rachel Klein and sees Sarah Bolger and Sarah Gadon also on the cast list.
The movie follow Rebecca (Bolger), a young girl who, haunted by her father’s suicide, enrolls in an elite boarding school for girls. Before long, Rebecca’s friendship with the popular Lucy (Gadon) is shattered by the arrival of a dark and mysterious new student named Ernessa (Cole).
Lucy falls under Ernessa’s spell and becomes emotionally and physically consumed by her glamorous new friend. Rebecca, whose overtures of concern are rejected by Lucy, finds herself lost and confused.
She begins to develop a crush on her handsome English teacher, Mr. Davies (Scott Speedman) and immerses herself in the Gothic vampire novel Carilla for his class. Rebecca starts to suspect that Ernessa is a vampire, but, despite the suspicious deaths that begin to occur, her fears are treated as simple girlish jealousy.
As the bodies of young girls pile up and the line between reality and the supernatural starts to blur, Rebecca decides to take matters into her own hands and get rid of Ernessa. Who can say what is real and what is unreal to the heart consumed by passion and a mind afire with loss?
And we are going to be seeing more of Cole this year as she has already finished work on Gravy and Orion.
Cole's acting career is really beginning to gain some momentum and moving between different genres shows that she does have a real versatility.
The Moth Diaries is released 24th May
