Tennant was studying at the Winchester School of Art, where she was a promising sculpture student when she was 'discovered'. The story of how this happened remains an urban myth, but she sent some photographs of herself to a high fashion magazine, & a friend introduced her to fashion writer Plum Sykes. She had recently had her nasal septum pierced, which was an unusual look for models at the time, & Sykes was taken aback by Stella's unconventional features & facial piercings. It was her aquiline & aristocratic features, lithe 6-foot frame & quick-witted manner that subsequently attracted the attention of photographers such as Steven Meisel & Bruce Weber. Tennant quickly rose to fame, posing for magazines such as French, British, & Italian Vogue as well as Harper's Bazaar & Numero.
Tennant was recently chosen to walk the runway for Chanel & is a muse of the designer, Karl Lagerfeld. She has also appeared in countless advertising campaigns, including Calvin Klein, Hermès, & Burberry. She was chosen to front the Burberry advertising campaign to revitalise the British firm & distance itself from the supposedly chav culture with which it is associated. Really people should oppose bullies, and thugs, not care about what people wear.
Tennant has four children & is married to a New York photographer. She settled her family in her native Scotland, where they still reside
She looks very good. Happily the Devonshires did not have a bad history in ruling as some of the undemocratic era rich families. But it all shows democarcy is better than inequality.
