Alexandra Nicole Richards (July 28, 1986) is the daughter of Patti Hansen and Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards,[2] and the sister of Theodora Richards.

Alexandra's face has appeared in established magazines such as Vogue, British Glamour, American Glamour, Italian Glamour, Vanity Fair, ID magazine, Harpers Bazaar, Jane Magazine, Teen Vogue, French Jalouse.

“When I was approached [by Playboy], I laughed with my Ma, [who did] Playboy in the past,” Richards said. “I’m young and when I get older I can look back at that and say I’ve done it.”

She also said she devoted many hours in the gym to get her body ready for the photo shoot.

“I worked my butt out for it, so why not show off?” Richards said.

Besides DJing and modeling, Richards is also dabbling in the art world. She attended the School of Visual Arts in New York for two years and has participated in art shows, including one of abstract silhouette portraits of her favorite musicians, which is currently on display in the Hotel on Rivington in the Lower East Side.

This fall, Richards will take on a new venture with the Music Unites Women’s Empowerment Initiative, which works to strengthen the self-esteem of young women around the world.Alexandra Richards is the daughter of legendary Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards, which means she’ll basically have to cure cancer to ever be famous for anything else. That’s unlikely, as this tall, lithe beauty shunned medical science and instead chose to become a model (as did her older sister, Theodora). Alexandra is now climbing up the ranks of the modeling elite, touring the world as a respected DJ and is an emerging artist. Not bad considering just could have just collected an allowance from daddy and chilled in St. Tropez.When you have a supermodel for a mom and a rock 'n' roll legend for a dad like Alexandra Richards does, you have certain advantages in life. Chances are you’ll be rich, hot and inherently cool. Alexandra is certainly all three, and has all the goods to be a modeling superstar.

She was born in England, and spent her childhood between there, New York and other exotic places where rock star parents take their kids. It was pretty clear from an early age that both Alexandra and her older sister Theodora Richards were going to grow up tall and very beautiful. Keen eyed modeling agents saw it, and signed Alex when she was just 14.
