Biography
Who is Mia Goth?
Early life and background
Mia Gypsy Mello da Silva Goth was born on October 25, 1993, in London at Guy's Hospital. Her family background is multicultural, with a Brazilian mother and a Canadian father who hails from Nova Scotia. Her maternal grandfather is the American artist Lee Jaffe, and her grandmother is the Brazilian actress Maria Gladys.
During her childhood, Mia moved frequently. She spent time in Brazil as a baby, returned to the United Kingdom at age five, and later lived in Canada when she was 10. Living with her father in Canada proved difficult, and she attended nine different schools there in a single academic year. Eventually, she and her mother settled in southeast London, where she attended Sydenham School and was raised in a single-parent household.
Modeling and acting career
At age 13, photographer Gemma Booth discovered her at the 2007 Underage Festival in London. This led to a contract with Storm Model Management. She appeared in campaigns for luxury brands like Miu Miu and Prada and graced the pages of many prominent fashion magazines, including Vogue, Wonderland, and Glamour. In 2023, she made her runway debut by opening the Miu Miu fashion show.

Her early filmography includes roles in The Survivalist, Everest, and the horror film A Cure for Wellness. She also gained notice for her supporting roles in the 2018 films Suspiria and High Life.
Breakthrough and horror roles
The actor achieved significant recognition through the X film series directed by Ti West, which started in 2022. She portrayed the characters Maxine Minx and Pearl, often using extensive prosthetic makeup to play the elderly antagonist. This work helped establish her reputation within the horror genre.

Following the success of the X trilogy, she starred in the 2023 body horror film Infinity Pool alongside Alexander Skarsgård. In 2025, she appeared as Elizabeth Harlander in Guillermo del Toro's version of Frankenstein. Her other film credits include a role in the 2026 project The Odyssey and an announced appearance in Star Wars: Starfighter, scheduled for 2027.
