There is no doubt that Cara Delevingne is the most talked about supermodel turned actress, in the world. With over 17 million followers on Instagram the British beauty is best known for her bold eyebrows, sharp features and daring party-girl attitude. At the tender age of twenty-two Cara has conquered catwalks and campaigns for all major labels, being one of the most connected models in the industry. This year she walked over thirty-nine shows for the biggest names in the business—Marc Jacobs, Chanel and Dolce & Gabbana.
Cara started off as an overnight sensation that was recruited by Burberry in 2011 and she has proven that there is no stopping her! She was one of the youngest faces to ever grace the covers of Vogue, appearing on the cover twice. Currently she is the female ambassador for Tag Heuer and the face of Chanel’s latest ad campaign with superstar Pharell Williams. As a known style star she collaborated with Mullberry and DKNY in 2014. These collections were an accurate representation of her unique style. Cara is one of those few style icons, who effortlessly transforms from tomboy to red carpet bombshell.
Cara’s street style is best described as androgynous, laidback and urban. She has created her own brand around this style – rocking distinct staple pieces. Successfully rebranding the skinny jean, slogan t-shirts, beanies, high-top shoes and leather jackets, Cara breaks all the boundaries—she isn’t afraid of mixing high-street brands with haute couture, reflecting her happy-go-lucky attitude perfectly. Be it a British spin on sportswear classics, pairing a Basketball Jersey with Chanel combat boots or her modern 90’s take on dressing, Cara manages to look cool in whatever.
This year her acting career has skyrocketed with the recent release of Paper Towns and the anticipation of her role in the latest batman franchise: Suicide Squad. She even won the Elle Style Awards ‘Breakthrough Actress Award’ in February this year. Her recent exit from the modelling industry was the biggest surprise for fashionistas worldwide. Cara is one of the most edgy and iconic supermodels that everyone loves to hate—her style never fails to impress—she has a distinct panache on and off the red carpet.
Landing on almost every best-dressed list for her red carpet look, Cara is truly one-to-watch on the red carpet. Her classic red carpet hair is curled tresses and a soft feminine old Hollywood glamour style. Dressed in the crème de la crème of designers – from Stella McCartney to Chloé – she never fails to look effortlessly stunning. Always one to try a fashion forward piece, daring plunges or simply beautiful gowns, Cara is a true chameleon on the red carpet. She only wears the crème de la crème of designers.
On her recent Paper Town’s tour she has impressed fashion critiques nailing every look; at a photo call in Madrid she showed off her impressive physique wearing a monochrome patterned top and shorts by Vantica, paired with sensual red lips. Dazzling the crowd in sparkles in a Saint Laurent ensemble the intricate beadwork draped her body highlighting her best features. Cara elevated her style in an Alexandre Vauthier Haute Couture chic structured jacket, burgundy waist belt and a gaudy gold skirt. This outfit was perfection with an East meets West theme, as the jacket and belt resembled a kimono. Her Mary Katrantzou silk top and bright yellow mini skirt add a fresh young glow to this sophisticated look. Cara will remain to be one of the most voguish dress actresses in Hollywood for years to come.
