Born into rock royalty and a former wild child herself, Kelly Osbourne has “had a mad life”, in her own words.
“I can’t believe it when I think about my life ten years ago and what it is like now. I didn’t even think I’d still be alive…” she has told The Daily Mail.
The daughter of Black Sabbath front man Ozzy Osbourne and music-manager-turned X Factor judge Sharon says “as a child [the heavy-metal band] Mötley Crüe used to babysit me.”
Overcoming addictions that landed her in rehab four times and family crises like her mother’s diagnosis of colon cancer and her father’s relapse with drugs and alcohol, the 29-year-old has grown up in the public eye.
Over that time her style and sensitivities have evolved. She considers her family the most important thing. And her dress-sense has gone from punk-brat to “classic” elegance, albeit with the unconventional hair-colour of lavender.
