Career

In 2001, Lenoir signed with L'Oréal, and has since appeared in their advertisements alongside Laetitia Casta and long-term model and actress Andie MacDowell. She has also worked for Victoria's Secret, Gap, Next, and many others. Lenoir was until recently the face of UK high-street retailer Marks & Spencer,1 and was seen in various British magazines and billboards alongside fellow models Twiggy and Laura Bailey. Lenoir is featured in the music video for Usher's single Hey Daddy (Daddy's Home).
Personal life
Lenoir was born in Les Ulis, Essonne, France. Her mother comes from the French Island of La Réunion and has Malagasy ancestry and her father is a retired French electrician who later divorced her mother.2 Her family moved first to Gif-sur-Yvette and then to Versailles where she was discovered and started her career in modeling. After a relationship with rapper Stomy Bugsy, she lived with international football player Claude Makélélé of Paris Saint-Germain. They have a son, Kelyan Makélélé (born February 2, 2005). The couple split in early 2009.3 Despite widespread reports Lenoir was married to Makélélé, she wrote a blog in 2009 clarifying their former relationship, saying: 'I’m not and have never been married. I do have a son. I have a wonderful baby’s father and have a great relationship with him, however I’ve been single for some time now.' 4
On May 9, 2010, Lenoir was found unconscious, after a suspected suicide attempt in a park near her Paris home, by a man walking his dog. She was rushed to hospital where large quantities of drugs and alcohol were found in her system.567
