Poppy Delevingne has embraced her postpartum body, admitting pregnancy gifted her the 'freedom' to 'stop being skinny'. The model, 40, welcomed her daughter Kaia Moon in May 2025 with her partner Archie Keswick.
She explained that pregnancy was the first time in her adult life that she gave in completely to her food cravings and skipped her regular workouts after two decades modelling for the likes of Burberry and Louis Vuitton.
'The norm when I was modelling was just to be skinny. I was always aware of what I ate and suddenly it was such a joy to be like, I don't have to go to the gym,' she gushed. 'My first craving was cake and I ate cake every single day for the duration of my pregnancy and I loved the freedom of being able to do that.'
And Poppy has no plans to 'snap back', embracing the changes that pregnancy and birth have had on her body.
'Now I've got this big bum, these mammoth boobs and I don't want to lose them. I've got a whole new body. I feel really sexy,' she told The Sunday Times Style magazine.
Poppy and Archie went public with their romance in July 2024 at the BST Hyde Park festival after meeting at mutual pal Jaime Winstone's wedding in October 2023. By January 2025, they were expecting their baby, with Poppy admitting she had only a year before reconciled that she would not be a mother following her divorce from ex James Cook at the age of 37.
Poppy first discovered she was pregnant during London Fashion Week when, during a fitting for a Burberry show, she noticed her clothes were tighter than usual. Sensing something was different, Poppy took a pregnancy test shortly after and then learned she was expecting a daughter. Poppy and Archie kept the news of her pregnancy to themselves for a while and only told friends and family around the four-month mark.
Another major milestone in Poppy's recent life has been her 40th birthday. Last month the star celebrated with a raucous London bash alongside model sister Cara, Taylor Swift, Princess Beatrice and Eugenie. The socialite dressed to impress in tiny purple sequin hotpants as she hosted the party at Hart pub before the celebrations moved onto an exclusive after-party at the luxury BoTree hotel in Marylebone.
With royalty rubbing shoulders with music megastars and fashion socialites, Poppy's bash soon became one of the hottest celebrity parties of the year so far. Leading the extraordinary guestlist was Taylor Swift who arrived hand in hand with her NFL fiance Travis Kelce. Elsewhere pregnant Princess Eugenie, who is expecting her third child, looked in good spirits as she arrived with husband Jack Brooksbank. Despite the problems caused by their errant parents Andrew and Fergie, her older sister Beatrice was also all smiles as she walked into the Hart pub with her spouse Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.
Also seen celebrating with Poppy were Georgia May Jagger, Damian Hurley, Lily James, Alexa Chung, Isla Fisher, Nicky Hilton, Emma Weymouth and many more.
