Lee is also able to tap into more familiar territory, as shown in the visually stunning fashion thriller, The Neon Demon, where she portrays a vain, image-obsessed supermodel. While this might seem like a “safe” role for someone with her past experience, she delivers a breakout performance by exposing the lengths her character is willing to go to maintain her beauty.

She seamlessly transitions from a manufactured, emotionless robot to a woman consumed with jealousy and paranoia. There’s a few visceral scenes in the film that other actresses might have shied away from, due to their graphic content, but Lee seems determined to embrace the bizzareness of it all.

Although her resume is short, Lee’s already presented an incredible range and a preference for roles that showcase more than just her pretty face. “I'm not really interested in anything normal or mediocre, because it just doesn't challenge me” she says.

Underneath her fresh-faced surface, there’s an underlining vunerability that allows her to bring an intensity to projects, making her an ideal candidate for visually stunning films with haunting stories . In Mad Max: Fury Road, she portrays The Dag, one of several women enslaved by the movie’s main villain. Her angelic presence offers a glimmer of hope in the post-apocalyptic setting of the picture.

As she describes it, “I just hope that (audiences are) affected by it. I hope it makes them think about perfection and beauty, and the lengths people are going to these days to attain it. I hope it makes people think twice about it, I suppose.”
