Daisy Jelley plays the role of Poppy in Geek Girl, and she has the mean girl model energy down to an absolute tee. Poppy is the ultimate fashionista and overall cool girl, but obviously has a grudge against new model Harriet as she secretly has a crush on Poppy’s boyfriend Nick. Ultimately she’s the type of character you both despite but secretly want to be her a little bit?

But as if Poppy from Geek Girl wasn’t cool enough, the actress who plays her, Daisy Jelley, is somehow even cooler and an actual real life it girl. Not only is she very famous on TikTok she’s been in a ton of incredibly high profile fashion shows as well as being in a ton of amazing shows. She’s the type of person you’d want to be besties with, so let’s see inside the iconic life of actress and model Daisy Jelley.

When Daisy was just 10 she signed with Kids London before being scouted by Select Model Management at Clothes Show Live when she 13. Being scouted at the Clothes Show Live is such an iconic move, that really was the dream. Since then she has modelled for Coach, Charlotte Tilbury, Prada and Pepe Jeans alongside Brooklyn Beckham. Sounds like she’s basically playing herself in Geek Girl then and we love to see it.

She’s a TikTok icon
