Georgina Jagger, daughter of Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall has a definite advantage jumping into any type of media related profession being the daughter of her world famous parents. Georgina Jagger was born with the blood of her legendary rock star father Mick Jagger running through her veins and a impeccable sense of personal style not unlike her mother who lit up the runways when she herself was a model. Georgina’s’ personal style exudes class and sex appeal much like her own personality. Georgina inherited her world famous father Mick’s’ signature lips, big and full dripping with sex appeal and the facial features and beautiful hair of her supermodel mom Jerry Hall. Georgina took ques from her moms iconic style and developed a unique style that is all her own. She was sought out by modeling agencies because of her famous name backed up by her beautiful looks and sexy figure. Her edgy style is classy and modern with a hint of mystery that is amplified when she speaks. The sound of her sexy, monotone voice with its distinctly British makes you sit still and listen if her looks alone aren’t enough to stop you in you tracks.
