Born and raised in Cape Town, Dean became a childhood model, adorning the covers of the South African editions of GQ and Elle.

She made her acting debut in the 2010 film Spud – an adaptation of a famous South African novel that also starred Troye Sivan and John Cleese.

The actress survived a near-fatal car accident in 2008 and was engaged to model Luke Volker.

In writer and director Ruben Ostlund’s Triangle of Sadness, Dean played Yaya, one half of a model couple who were invited on a cruise that goes horribly wrong.

The film is a biting social satire that sees models and the ultra-rich have their status undermined by unexpected events.

It will be released in October and will likely compete for an Oscar in 2023.

She told the Associated Press about the film before it was honoured at Cannes in May:

“For me, I’m like, I’ve already won. I’m already at Cannes with the movie. That’s so unbelievable. Anything is just a cherry on top at this point for me.”
