Early life

McGregor was born in London to Scottish actor Ewan McGregor and French-Greek Jewish production designer Eve Mavrakis.[2][3] She has three sisters, Clara, Jamyan, and Anouk.[4][5] She also has a half-brother, Laurie, through her father's second marriage to actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead.[6] Her great-uncle, Denis Lawson, is also an actor.[7]

McGregor is bilingual, speaking both English and French, and was raised Jewish.[8][9][10] She attended North Bridge House School in North London.[2] At 11, she and her family moved to Los Angeles.[11] She later attended New York University in Manhattan.[8][10]

McGregor began modeling at the age of 16. Her first modeling job was alongside her older sister, Clara.[8][11] She has modeled for Fendi,[12] Stella McCartney,[10] Miu Miu,[13] and Celine.

In 2022, she made a cameo in the second episode of the Disney+ miniseries Obi-Wan Kenobi.[16] She told Vanity Fair, "My parents never let me do anything onscreen until I was old enough to executively make the decision, and also old enough to be a human on set."[10] That year, she also played Natalie in the coming-of-age drama series High School, based on the 2019 memoir of the same name by Sara and Tegan Quin.[17] In May 2024, she was cast in the Amazon Prime Video original series We Were Liars, based on the 2014 novel of the same name by E.
