Early life

Family background

Esther McGregor was born Esther Rose McGregor on October 22, 2001, in London, England. She is the daughter of Scottish actor Ewan McGregor and French production designer Eve Mavrakis, whose heritage includes French-Greek Sephardi Jewish roots. McGregor is the third-oldest of five children, with older sister Clara McGregor and younger sisters Jamyan McGregor and Anouk McGregor from her parents' marriage, as well as a half-brother, Laurie, from her father's subsequent marriage. She was raised in a Jewish household and celebrated her bat mitzvah at a Conservative synagogue in London. Bilingual in English and French due to her mother's background, McGregor spent her early childhood in London before her family relocated to Los Angeles when she was 11 years old.

Education and upbringing

Esther McGregor attended North Bridge House School in North London during her early childhood, where she described having a really lovely time with a good group of friends and spending a lot of time outside. At age 11, she relocated with her family from London to Los Angeles, an experience she called a very drastic change that involved adjusting to a new school and feeling alienated because of her accent, prompting her to make efforts to fit in. She later studied at New York University in Manhattan. McGregor developed an early interest in performing, joking that she had been acting since she came out of her mother's stomach, though her performances were limited to the family's living room. Her parents did not allow her to pursue any on-screen acting work until she was old enough to make the decision independently and mature enough to handle being on set, with her father understanding the potential perils of the industry from his own experience.

Career

Modeling and creative pursuits

Esther McGregor began modeling at the age of 16, starting with informal photo shoots alongside her sister Clara and local artists in New York City. She went on to work with major fashion houses including Miu Miu, Stella McCartney, Dolce & Gabbana, Celine, and Fendi. Notably, she was personally selected by Miuccia Prada to open the Miu Miu spring/summer 2023 runway show in Milan. McGregor has since stepped back from modeling to concentrate on acting and her other creative endeavors. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she co-founded the electro-pop duo French Thyme with musician Leo Major. The band released its debut EP in 2020. McGregor has described music as a private passion and therapeutic outlet rather than a commercial pursuit. McGregor became a licensed tattoo artist during the pandemic, beginning her practice in her NYU dorm room. She co-opened Pink Ether, a tattoo studio in New York City, with Marissa Munroe, with the goal of establishing a safe, luxurious environment particularly for women and members of the queer community. She ran the shop for several years before reducing her involvement after relocating to Los Angeles, though she continues tattooing select clients on a limited basis.

Acting career

Esther McGregor's acting career began in 2018 with her on-screen debut as Nicky in one episode of the television series Resting Pitch Face. She followed this with roles in several short films, playing Amelie in Assumptions (2020), Violet in Violet (2021), and Odette in The Palisades (2022). McGregor has stated that her parents delayed her entry into acting until she was old enough to decide for herself. In 2022, she appeared as Tetha Grig in one episode ("Part II") of the Disney+ mini-series Obi-Wan Kenobi, sharing the screen with her father Ewan McGregor. That same year, she took on the recurring role of Natalie across seven episodes in the Amazon Freevee series High School. Her feature film work began with the role of a teenage girl in Bleeding Love (2023). McGregor's profile rose further in 2024 with a part as Sierra in the short film Love Music Shelter, SF, alongside supporting roles in high-profile features. She played Isabel, the "grungy" teenage daughter of characters portrayed by Nicole Kidman and Antonio Banderas, in the A24 film Babygirl, directed by Halina Reijn. She also appeared as Young Martha in Pedro Almodóvar's The Room Next Door, starring Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton. In 2025, McGregor stars as Mirren Sinclair Sheffield in a main role across eight episodes of the Prime Video series We Were Liars. She is also set to appear as Brooke Simmers in the upcoming film Clean Hands. Her career reflects a steady progression from early television and short-form work to prominent parts in major film and television projects.
