Lily-Rose Melody Depp was born in Paris on May 27, 1999. She is the daughter of American actor, producer, and musician Johnny Depp and French singer, actress, and model Vanessa Paradis. After 14 years together, her parents split in 2012 and set up shared joint custody of Depp, who splits her time between Los Angeles and Paris. Depp is the older sister of John "Jack" Christopher Depp III and the niece of French actress Alysson Paradis.
Depp began her acting career with a cameo role in Tusk, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2014. She acted alongside her friend Harley Quinn Smith, her father, and the film's director Kevin Smith.

In May, she was announced as the face of Chanel's new fragrance No°5 L'Eau. That same month, The Dancer, in which Depp plays Isadora Duncan, premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in the Un Certain Regard category. The film is Stéphanie Di Giusto’s directorial debut.
