Alice Dellal caught in drug scandal

As the face of lingerie brand Agent Provocateur, Alice Dellal is fast becoming the next big thing in the fashion world.

In spite of a colourful family background, Alice, 20, has so far managed to keep her reputation intact - but she now seems to have shed her clean-living image.

For the socialite model, who boasts high profile friends including James and Elizabeth Jagger and Leah Wood, is pictured in a series of curious photographs with what appears to be drug paraphernalia.

Scandal: Model Alice Dellal caught on film with an Oyster card, a line of white powder and a hollow tube

Alice replaced Kate Moss as the face of Agent Provocateur earlier this year but has also modelled for Dame Vivienne Westwood and Mango.

Friends close to the model fear that she is moving heavily into the party scene - and that it could ruin her career.

A source said: 'It's quite shocking for someone with such apparent talent to be photographed like this. It's worrying.'

Body of evidence: Alice with what appears to be a wrap of drugs

In the first picture, taken in July, Alice is shown with a friend looking up to the camera. Nearby, a suspicious white powder, believed to be cocaine, is laid out on the back of a DVD case with an Oyster card and a hollow tube.

In the second picture, taken in March at a party in south London, Alice is seen sitting on a sofa dressed in her trademark leather jacket and shirt holding what appears to be a wrap of cocaine.

Turning her back to those next to her, Alice seems more concerned with the task in hand.

The heiress, due to inherit an estimated £800 million, is the granddaughter of the controversial property tycoon Jack Dellal, 83, also known as Black Jack for his love of gambling tables around the world.

One of her aunts, Suzy, died from a heroin overdose while studying in Paris.

Alice follows a long line of high-profile celebrities who have modelled for Agent Provocateur.

Peaches and Moss, to name but two, have posed leaving little to the imagination.

Alice's father, entrepreneur Guy, was a former escort of Mick Jagger's ex Jerry Hall and has an interesting history.

In 1978, when he was 21, he was accused of being involved with a ring that smuggled cocaine worth £40,000 into Britain.

It was decided that he had been used by dealers and he was fined £2,500 and given a 12-month suspended jail sentence.

Pixie lets her hair down and takes a tumble with model pal Alice Dellal

With exams over and the summer stretching ahead of her, Pixie Geldof took the opportunity to really let her hair down with model pal Alice Dellal.

The 17-year-old student and A-lister on London's party scene attended the Nokia Skate Almighty launch in central London last night with 20-year-old Dellal, who is fronting the campaign.

And it's lucky the model was there to help Pixie find her feet.

Taking a tumble, Pixie fell into peels of laughter at the roller-skating event while giggling Alice picked her up.

Tumble and fall: It took a while for Pixie to find her feet but luckily pal Alice was there to give her a helping hand

It's no surprise the pair were in such good spirits.

While Pixie appeared this month as the cover girl of society bible Tatler, Alice usurped Kate Moss as the face of Agent Provocateur - a change confirmed last month.

And both looked the part as emerging fashion icons.

Wearing a cropped white vest top and tight, studded indigo jeans Pixie was every inch the roller girl.

Alice went for a racier look with fishnet tights and a sheer printed cardigan.

Nokia Skate Almighty is a free music and roller-skating festival that opens nationwide today.

And if Alice and Pixie's fun last night is anything to go by, it may be worth giving it a look.
