Lady Isabella Frederica Louisa de Pauw (née Hervey,(/ˈhɑːrvi/) born 9 March 1982) is a British model, actress, and fitness trainer. She is the daughter of Victor Hervey, 6th Marquess of Bristol, the sister of Lady Victoria Hervey and the incumbent Frederick Hervey, 8th Marquess of Bristol, and half-sister of John Hervey, 7th Marquess of Bristol.

Lady Isabella was born in Monaco to Victor Hervey, 6th Marquess of Bristol and Lady Yvonne Hervey (née Sutton). Her godparents included Queen Fadila of Egypt and her half-brother John, Earl Jermyn. She was educated at Woldingham School. Her father died when she was three, and she was sent to boarding school at the age of six. She suffered from bulimia in her youth, but recovered after seeking treatment at The Priory hospital. She also joined Overeaters Anonymous. She enjoyed sports from an early age, including professional showjumping.

Though she is happy to continue using the title, Lady Isabella has criticised and rejected claims that she is a socialite. She has distanced herself from the stereotypical upper-class nature of the Hervey family, particularly as she received little family income and has entirely self-financed her career.

Lady Isabella's television career has included appearing on the Channel 4 reality TV show The Games (2004), and for appearing as a contestant on ITV's Celebrity Love Island (2005). In 2005, she was named "face of Playboy UK". She has appeared as a contestant on Celebrity MasterChef and the UK Sky One television programme Vroom Vroom. She also competed in the Sky One show Cirque De Celebrite, and the BBC1 show Hole In The Wall. She was awarded Sexiest Aristocrat in May 2006 and made the 62nd spot in FHM's 100 Sexiest Women in the World.
