Helena Bonham Carter’s 17-year-old daughter, Nell Burton, recently made her modeling debut in a stunning campaign celebrating Larkspur & Hawk’s 25th anniversary. The breathtaking photos showcased the close bond between mother and daughter, with Nell looking gorgeous as Helena’s mirror-image for the luxury jewelry brand—a favorite of Helena’s for years.
Both Helena and Nell were photographed wearing over $18,500 worth of jewelry from Larkspur & Hawk’s Palette Collection, which pays tribute to the artistry and foiling techniques of founder Emily Satloff. In a press release, the brand explained, “Emily envisioned a campaign that would celebrate not only a legacy of craftsmanship and color, but also the creative friendships that have shaped its story,” referencing Helena and Emily’s notable friendship.
Emily Satloff shared, “While we work in very different fields, we are both creative, and as such, I could not have imagined a better foundation for producing this fairytale of a campaign.” Helena added, reflecting on the shoot: “I love jewelry and how it can out-survive us humans, carrying stories over the decades, and over the centuries. I also basically love dressing up and make-believe is what I do for a living, so when Emily asked if I’d be up for a commemorative photoshoot, I jumped at the chance of going full Georgian.”
The 59-year-old actress spoke warmly about her personal connection to Larkspur & Hawk, sharing how the brand fostered family memories. “Some years ago, my mother wanted to buy something for my birthday. We both came to the Larkspur & Hawk showroom in New York, and it was then that I chose the Rivière necklace, which I pretty much wear daily. It’s from my mom, it feels like I’m carrying a bit of her wherever I go,” Helena said. She added, “One day it will be on to my own daughter, Nell, if she doesn’t steal it before! My rivière will be our baton.”
For the memorable campaign, Nell glowed in a delicate pink gown, her dark brunette hair adorned with jeweled embellishments. Helena matched her daughter, sporting pastel pink curly hair and a coordinating pink dress—a striking, elegant mother-daughter pairing.
Helena Bonham Carter shares Nell and her son Billy, 22, with renowned filmmaker Tim Burton. The duo were together for 13 years before separating in 2014 but have worked hard to maintain a healthy friendship and co-parenting relationship. Speaking to The Guardian in 2020, Helena reflected, “It’s taken us some time to adjust, but I think it’s really very good now. And the kids are fine, they get to have a dual life. At first, it’s a horrible thing to get used to, not having your children around when you share custody. The cruelty of divorce is extraordinary. But then you get to a point where you’re like, Oh, I get this week off! Some parts are very much to be recommended.”
Though Nell and Billy were kept out of the spotlight for much of their early lives, they’ve made rare public appearances, including at the “Alice Through the Looking Glass” premiere in 2016, supporting their mother’s role as the Red Queen, at the “Dumbo” premiere in 2019 alongside their father, and at the Rome Film Festival two years later.
Recently, Nell has begun stepping into the public eye, including attending the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition Preview Party in London and making a front row appearance at the Ashley Williams fashion show in September—often accompanied by her mother. As Nell embarks on her modeling journey, she brings fresh talent to the industry while upholding a legacy of creative family connections.
