THE RUNDOWN
- Esther McGregor, a model and actor, has been cast as Violet Sorrengail in the television adaptation of Fourth Wing, the first book in Rebecca Yarros’ fantasy series.
- McGregor is the daughter of Scottish actor Ewan McGregor, and has recently starred in the Disney+ series, Obi-Wan Kenobi, We Were Liars and Babygirl, alongside Nicole Kidman.
- McGregor is also a model, having worked for brands including Dolce & Gabbana, Stella McCartney, Fendi and Miu Miu, and a musician.
Esther McGregor, the 24-year-old triple threat — model, actress and musician — and daughter of Golden Globe-winning actor Ewan McGregor, is about to be catapulted into Hollywood stardom after landing the lead role of Violet Sorrengail in Prime Video’s television adaptation of Fourth Wing.
McGregor has been in the limelight since the age of 16, when she landed her first modelling gig alongside her older sister, Clara McGregor. Since then, McGregor’s modelled for everyone from Miu Miu (Per British Vogue, she was actually hand-selected by Miuccia Prada to open the brand’s spring/summer 2023 show), Celine, No 21, Dolce & Gabbana and Stella McCartney.
Her true passion is acting, though — like father, like daughter — and lately, she’s turned her attention to Hollywood. She’s had roles in television series and films alike, and now, the latest feather in her cap is a starring role in Prime Video’s hotly-anticipated TV adaptation of Fourth Wing.
How Tall Is Esther McGregor?
According to her IMDb profile, Esther McGregor is 163 centimentres, or 5-foot, 4-inches. Given that Violet Sorrengail is famously petite (Fourth Wing die-hards believe her to be between 5-foot, 2-inches and 5-foot, 4-inches based on a scene in the book where Xaden calls her “five foot nothing”), fans are naturally curious about McGregor’s height. It appears actress and character share a petite frame.
What Has Esther McGregor Starred In?
If you think you’ve seen McGregor’s piercing blue eyes in something before, you would be right. She’s starred in a handful of buzzy projects over the last few years, including Babygirl, where she plays the daughter of Romy (Nicole Kidman); a young Tilda Swinton in the film, The Room Next Door; and Mirren Sinclair Sheffield in Prime Video’s thriller series We Were Liars. She also stars in the just-released true crime drama, Clean Hands, alongside Zach Braff and Abigail Spencer, playing the daughter of a drug cop who was battling addiction.
Who Has Esther McGregor Modelled For?
McGregor’s modelling career kicked off when she was 16 years old. Recalling in an interview with Metal Magazine, she said she was “travelling every two weeks” early in her career. Her roster of designer clients included Stella McCartney, No 21, Dolce & Gabbana and Miu Miu, and more recently, she’s starred in campaigns for Celine and Gap Studio under the directorship of Zac Posen.
Is Esther McGregor A Tattoo Artist?
Along with her laundry list of talents and interests (did we mention she’s a musician, too?), McGregor is also a qualified tattoo artist. She started tattooing at the start of the COVID pandemic, and soon opened up a shop with a friend in New York called Pink Ether. She worked as a tattoo artist for two years before her modelling career took off, and she had to put the body artistry on hold in favour of jobs in Paris and Los Angeles. Such is the life of a multihyphenate!
