Quite piecing eyes - very light skin - often dark hair - small jawline compared to other models - small mouth with narrow lips. Of course there is variation within this general look, but it's easier to have a general thread. Take a look ~~~

Actually I have to correct you on one small point (being the daughter of a racial geneticist
) Celts tend to have much larger jaws since the Celtic/British race is basically a diluted Germanic one and with strong Nordic elements. So the jaw tends to be stronger. It is the Slavic girls that tend to have slightly underdeveloped/shallow mandibles and maxilla bones (the bones of the jaw). A typical look in the British Isles (not that there's really such a thing anymore since it's such a melting pot country now) would be a strong jaw, a sharp nose, medium to close-set eyes and the fair skin you were talking about. Again, small mouths are usually a more Slavic trait.
Sorry to be so picky.
Coco Rocha is a very good example though, despite the small jaw (which is actually an orthdontic deformity [not in a bad way] as opposed to a racial trait)
Again, Lily Cole's colouring is very very Celtic but the face shape, set of the eyes and jaw bone are the opposite.
