Her first novel was published in 2003, The Man with the Dancing Eyes, followed by Playing With the Grown-ups in 2007. In 2009, she wrote Miss Dahl's Voluptuous Delights, a cookery book with recipes that were recreated for a six-part BBC 2 series, The Delicious Miss Dahl. In 2011, her cookery book, From Season to Season was published, and her first children's book, Madame Badobedah, was published in 2019. She is the granddaughter of author Roald Dahl.

Early life and education [edit]

Dahl was born in London, to the actor Julian Holloway and the writer Tessa Dahl. As a child, Sophie frequently spent time at both her maternal and paternal grandparents' houses in Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire[1] and East Preston, West Sussex, respectively.[2] Dahl has noted that her childhood was "an odd one, but with such magic".[3] Writing in The Guardian in 2013, the journalist Kira Cochrane notes that during her childhood, Sophie attended 10 schools and lived in 17 homes in various locations including London, New York, and India.[3]

Career [edit]

Modelling [edit]

Dahl started modelling at the age of 18 after a meeting with Isabella Blow, who was then an editor at British Vogue.[4] The following year, Dahl made her debut on the catwalk at Lainey Keogh's London fashion week show, modelling Autumn/Winter knitwear.[5] She then went on to appear in advertising campaigns for Versace, Alexander McQueen, Boucheron, Pringle, Godiva, Banana Republic, Gap and Boodles amongst others.[6] [7] She appeared on the covers of both British and Italian Vogue,[8] [9] along with the covers of Elle,[10] Harpers Bazaar,[11] Red,[12] Numero and Tatler.[13]

During her career as a model, Dahl worked with photographers including Richard Avedon, Peter Lindbergh, Tim Walker,[14] Steven Klein and Steven Meisel. In 2000, Dahl became the face of Yves Saint-Laurent's Opium. The ad campaign was art-directed by Tom Ford and shot by Steven Meisel.[15] Dahl's nude images in British advertisements caused a near-record number of complaints to the UK's Advertising Standards Authority.[16]

Writing [edit]

In 2003, Dahl published her first book, an illustrated novella and Times bestseller, The Man with the Dancing Eyes (Bloomsbury Publishing).[17] From 2005 Dahl was a contributing editor and regular columnist at Men's Vogue, prior to its closure in 2008. Dahl is the author of four other books: Playing with the Grown-Ups (2007)[18] and two cook books, Miss Dahl's Voluptuous Delights (2009)[19] and From Season To Season (2011).[20] She was a contributor to an anthology, Truth or Dare, edited by Justine Picardie, which included works by Zoë Heller and William Fiennes.[21] She also provided introductions to the Puffin Classic new edition of The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett,[22] and the Virago Press re-issue of Stella Gibbons' 1938 novel Nightingale Wood – both released in April 2009 – and Nancy Mitford's Don't Tell Alfred, reissued by Penguin in March 2010.[23]

In March and April 2010, a six-part cookery series, "The Delicious Miss Dahl", which Dahl wrote and presented, was broadcast on BBC 2. She wrote and presented a social history documentary about the Victorian cook Isabella Beeton, which was transmitted on BBC 2 on 29 September 2011.[24]

Dahl was a contributing editor at British magazine Vogue for a decade, writing about subjects from cultural identity and the journey of refugees to Brexit Britain[25] to the Proustian response to scent, winning a Jasmine Award for her column.[26] She is a contributing editor at Conde Nast Traveller, and has written essays for amongst others, The Guardian,[27] the American edition of Vogue, The Observer [28] and The New York Times Magazine.[29]

It was announced in the Bookseller in 2019 that she had been signed to a four-book deal with Walker Books. The first of these, Madame Badoebdah, a children's picture book illustrated by Lauren O'Hara, was published in October 2019.[30] [31] Sophie's second book with Walker, The Worst Sleepover in the World, illustrated by Luciano Lozano, will be published in October 2021.[32]

In 2020, Dahl became a monthly columnist and contributing editor at House & Garden magazine.[33]

Personal life [edit]

Dahl is the daughter of the English actor Julian Holloway and the writer Tessa Dahl. Her paternal grandparents were the actor Stanley Holloway and Violet née Lane, a former chorus dancer.[34] Dahl's paternal lineage has been associated with the stage since at least 1850; Charles Bernard (1830–1894), a great-uncle to Stanley Holloway, was a Shakespearean actor and theatre manager in London and the English provinces. Bernard's son, Oliver Percy Bernard OBE MC (1881–1939), was an architect and scenic designer, responsible for the sets for Sir Thomas Beecham's Ring Cycle at Covent Garden.[35] [36] Through Bernard, Dahl is related to his sons, the poet and translator Oliver Bernard, the photographer Bruce Bernard,[37] and the writer Jeffrey Bernard.[34] [37] Dahl's maternal grandparents were the author Roald Dahl and the American actress Patricia Neal.[38]

On 9 January 2010, Dahl married the singer Jamie Cullum.[39] They had their first child, a daughter named Lyra, in March 2011.[40] The couple had a second daughter, Margot, in March 2013.[41] The family live in Buckinghamshire.[42]

Dahl is an ambassador at Place2Be, a charity who provide mental health support and advocacy in schools across the UK.[43]
