                             Magazines and fashion shows

Cole's distinctive red hair has attracted significant media attention. She is also recognised for what Entertainment magazine described as her porcelain doll-like beauty. Cole's modelling career was sparked from a chance encounter while walking through Soho when she was approached by Benjamin Hart, who asked her to consider modelling. She initially declined, later saying, "I was cynical enough to think it wouldn't come to much", though she later changed her mind and signed to Storm Models.

Her break came in 2003 when she caught the eye of photographer Steven Meisel. It was on that photoshoot, her first "only girl" story for Italian Vogue, that Cole was "catapulted into the spotlight" as one of the leading new faces of the year. Since then, Cole has worked with many other prominent photographers, including Craig McDean, Nick Knight, Juergen Teller, Arthur Elgort, and Irving Penn.

At the 2004 British Fashion Awards, Cole was named "Model of the Year". She has since made appearances on the covers of many fashion magazines including, amongst others, the American, Italian, British, Japanese and Korean editions of Vogue, Citizen K, Vand Vogue as well as featuring on Vogue's "best dressed" list in December 2005. She has also had cover appearances on Numéro and Interview.

She has modelled on the international runway circuit and at many fashion shows on behalf of Chanel, Shiatzy Chen, DKNY, Jean Paul Gaultier, Versace, Alexander McQueen, Jasper Conran, John Galliano, and Louis Vuitton. She was nominated, for the second time, for the "Model of the Year" award at the 2007 British Fashion Awards and, in December 2009, was listed by Vogue Paris as one of the top 30 models of the 2000s.

Cole's modelling career continued in 2010. She made a cover appearance on the January 2010 issue of the Canadian Elle, as well as giving an interview to the magazine and opening Hermès's winter 2010/2011 collection at Paris Fashion Week in March, wearing a black leather catsuit and bowler hat.

Towards the end of 2010, she featured in a documentary chronicling the career of Rolf Harris in which he painted her dressing up as the Queen of the fairies from A Midsummer's Night Dream.
