In 2017, Hawke made her acting debut as Jo March in the BBC miniseries adaptation of Little Women. This and other conflicts ultimately led to Coppola leaving the project. However, the producers preferred the better-known ChloГ« Grace Moretz. Hawke was Sofia Coppola's choice to play the title role of The Little Mermaid in Universal Pictures's planned live-action adaptation. In 2017, she starred as one of several faces in a video campaign for Calvin Klein's underwear range, directed by Sofia Coppola. She was also chosen as the face of the British fashion retailer AllSaints's 2016/2017 collection. Like both her mother and grandmother, Hawke modeled for Vogue at the beginning of her career. She studied toward a BFA in acting at the Juilliard School for one year before dropping out after accepting her role in Little Women. Hawke also took part in summer studies at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London and the Stella Adler Studio of Acting in New York. The artistic environment eventually led her to acting. Hawke has dyslexia, which resulted in her changing schools frequently during her primary education before she was finally enrolled at Saint Ann's School, a private school in Brooklyn, New York that emphasizes artistic creativity and does not grade work. SchlebrГјgge's mother, Birgit Holmquist, was also a model, having posed for Axel Ebbe's statue Famntaget, currently in Smygehuk in Sweden. On her mother's side, she is a granddaughter of Buddhist scholar Robert Thurman and model Baroness Nena von SchlebrГјgge.

On her father's side, Hawke is a distant cousin of playwright Tennessee Williams. She has another half-sister from her mother's ex-fiancГ©, financier Arpad Busson. She also has two half-sisters by her father's second wife, Ryan Shawhughes. Her parents met on the set of Gattaca (1997), married in May 1998, and divorced in 2005. Hawke was born on July 8, 1998, in New York City, the older of two children born to actors Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman.
