Kellett was born in Buckinghamshire and attended Wadham College, Oxford from where she graduated with a BA degree in History in 1981. Known for her distinctive personal style, she once arrived at an Oxford party in a punk outfit of tartan minidress with a cannon ball chained to her ankle. She spent two years in India studying yoga.
After graduation, Kellet worked for Vogue as fashion features editor for five years. She commented on the latest trends, describing the Dreadshock look adopted by Posers as "the most inspired expression of teenage individualism yet". She was supportive of Karl Lagerfeld's updating of the Chanel look in the early 1980s, saying "All the stuff pre-Karl was so-o-o square."
She was fashion editor for the London Evening Standard in 1988 and later of Tatler. In 1989, she represented Tatler in an article in The Observer looking at the personal style of four fashion professionals. In 1997 she was the society editor of OK! magazine and she also worked for British W magazine. She was an active freelance writer.
Kellett was married to the French banker, Jean-Marc Fraysse, in 2002.
