Sophie Dahl (born Sophie Holloway, 15 September 1977 in London) is an English author and former model. She is the daughter of actor Julian Holloway and writer Tessa Dahl. Her maternal grandparents were author Roald Dahl and actress Patricia Neal. Her paternal grandfather was actor Stanley Holloway. She was the inspiration for Sophie, the main character in her maternal grandfather's book The BFG.

After being expelled from school Dahl was discovered by Isabella Blow, a Vogue stylist. Blow referred Dahl to Sarah Doukas of the Storm Model Agency in London. Dahl was featured prominently in many large-circulation magazines, including Elle, Harper's Bazaar, Marie Claire and the British, Italian and American versions of Vogue.2

Dahl achieved a degree of notoriety in 2000 after she appeared in an advertisement for the Yves Saint-Laurent perfume brand Opium. The ad featured a photograph of her posing nude on black satin. It was removed from UK billboards after complaints were made to the Advertising Standards Authority.3 Dahl also appeared in campaigns for Versace, McQueen, Patrick Cox, Pringle, Godiva, Banana Republic, and The Gap, amongst others. For three years Dahl was a contributing editor at Men's Vogue, prior to its closure in 2008. She is currently a regular columnist for British Vogue, Waitrose Food Illustrated & has contributed to, amongst others, The Saturday Times Magazine, The Daily Telegraph and American edition of Vogue.

Dahl is the author of three books: The Man With the Dancing Eyes (2003), Playing with the Grown-Ups (2008) and the cookbook, Miss Dahl's Voluptuous Delights (2009). She also provides the introduction to Virago Press' re-issue of Stella Gibbons' 1938 novel Nightingale Wood, which was released in April 2009.

She married singer and pianist Jamie Cullum in a secret ceremony in New Forest, Hampshire on 9 January 2010.4
