It's a demanding life when you’re constantly switching from supermodel to student mode.
But Lily Cole looks the perfect part whatever role she’s playing.
On Friday she wore a glittering gold mini-dress at a dinner for fashion label Dior in Cannes.
From chic to geek: Glamorous Miss Cole in Cannes, left, and under wraps to sit her first end-of-year exam at Cambridge University
Yesterday, she was back in Britain and the famous figure was back under wraps. To be precise, a black scarf, thick socks and a long, baggy cardigan.
The ensemble was appropriate for the occasion – history of art student Miss Cole was sitting the first of her end-of-year exams at Cambridge University.
But the outfit wasn’t exactly suitable for the sizzling temperatures.
Beauty AND brains: Miss Cole is studying history of art and is on course for a first class degree
After the exam Miss Cole, who turned 22 last week, chatted and joked with friends before the group headed off for a cooling beverage.
Perhaps her rather care-free attitude was a result of her success last year, when she managed to achieve a First in her exams, despite a whirlwind party session, again partying in Cannes, where she was promoting her film The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus.
If she repeats the feat in her final exams at the end of the third year, she will be awarded a double first class degree.
Lily has already scored straight As in her A-levels, gaining top grades in English, philosophy and ethics, and politics at Latymer Upper School in West London.
Earlier this year, she revealed that she aims to quit modelling to carve out a career in Hollywood.
She was recently cast in Marilyn Manson's upcoming fantasy horror film, Phantasmagoria: The Visions Of Lewis Carroll, in which she stars as the author's legendary heroine Alice.
It comes after she was told by Marks & Spencer last year that she would not be having her lucrative contract renewed as the retailer battled with the effects of the credit crunch.
She is now waiting to hear if her contract with cosmetics firm Rimmel will be renewed, with rumours that she is to be replaced by Solange Knowles, the sister of Beyonce.

She said recently: 'I'd like to act and not really model so much. I've been doing modelling for years and I feel like I've taken out of it what I need to and I'm ready for new things.
'I've really enjoyed the process of acting and I'd be more inclined to dedicate my time to that.'
Her modelling career began at the age of 14 when she was spotted in a burger bar by a modelling scout from Storm, the agency that discovered Kate Moss.
Within days of making her debut at London Fashion Week, fashion labels were clamouring for her to represent them.
