Mia Goth is a British actress and model.
Mia’s father is Canadian, from Nova Scotia. Mia’s mother, Rachel, is from Brazil. Mia was raised in Brazil, Canada, and London, England. Mia has one child with her partner, American actor Shia LaBeouf.
Mia may descend from William Goth or Benjamin Goth, who were born in England in the mid 1800s, and moved to New Brunswick, Canada.
Mia’s maternal grandfather is artist, photographer, filmmaker, musician, and producer Lee Jaffe (the son of Morris Jaffe and Harriette Frechtel). Lee was born in New York, to a Jewish family. Morris was born in New York, to parents from Russia, Jacob “Jack” Jaffe and Goldie. Harriette was born in New York, to parents from Austria/Poland, Nathan Frechtel and Selma.
Mia’s maternal grandmother is Brazilian actress Maria Gladys (the daughter of Armando Ribeiro da Silva and Rachel Valente de Mello). Maria was born Maria Gladys Mello da Silva, in Rio de Janeiro. Armando was born in Rio de Janeiro, the son of João Gomes da Silva and Candida Ribeiro. Rachel was also born in Rio de Janeiro, the daughter of Raul Baptista de Mello and Georgina de Mello Valente.
Mia’s great-great-grandmother Georgina was listed as “morena” on her death record. Through her line, Mia is descended from Henrique da Porciúncula Vilella, who was born, c. 1814, in Rio de Janeiro, and from his wife, Miquelina Benedita do Loreto, who was born, c. 1813, in Rio de Janeiro. Henrique was listed as “pardo.” Miquelina was born into slavery, the daughter of Ana de Benguela, who was from Africa (possibly Angola). Mia’s Portuguese ancestry include Azorean.

likely part Afro-Brazilian
Why?
@andrew I agree, but unfortunately it is difficult to find anything online about her grandmother’s ancestors.
Her Brazilian grandmother looks part black.
I didn’t see the grandmother, but it was obvious from her facial features.
Mia Goth is a perfect example of how a little bit of african DNA can completely change your physiognomy
Her mother’s name is Rachel. Rachel’s mother is Brazilian actress Maria Gladys. Rachel’s father is American Jewish musician Lee Jaffe.
Mia’s father is (apparently) Canadian.
