Cara Delevingne’s Best Red Carpet Looks Show a Supermodel Finding Herself

Delevingne paired her strapless Ashi Studio dress with sheer gloves during the Colours of Time Cannes premiere in 2025.

Delevingne shimmered in this halter neck Gucci design when she stepped out on the Golden Globes red carpet.

In 2024, the star looked ready for battle in a bejweled Stella McCartney look at the 2024 Met Gala.

Delevingne paid homage to her late friend, Karl Lagerfeld, at the 2023 Met Gala in this black-and-white look from Lagerfeld’s eponymous line.

For her Oscars debut, the model and actor epitomized Hollywood glamour in a one-shoulder ball gown by Elie Saab complete with a daring leg slit.

Delevingne put her spin on “Gilded Glamour” by sporting a gold-painted torso and matching nipple pasties at the 2022 Met Gala, themed “In America: An Anthology of Fashion.”

The model turned up the heat on this skirt suit by wearing no shirt whatsoever at the 2021 CFDAs.

Never one to mince her words, the model attended the 2021 Met Gala in a white Dior ensemble with the phrase “Peg the patriarchy” strewn across her top.

Delevingne proved you can make a statement by keeping things simple when she opted to forgo a shirt under her Dior suit.

To celebrate DKNY’s 30th anniversary, the model channeled a bit of “Sporty Spice,” but made it fashion.

Delevingne wore a liquid look David Koma gown for a special screening of her Amazon Prime Video fantasy series Carnival Row.

In New York City, the model mixed wet-look hair with a Rock ‘n’ Roll take on classic Chanel codes.

While Delevingne had gravitated to short hair and more tailored, darker looks, by 2019, she proved she could still rock a feminine, fun pink number. This one, of course, is Dior.

Bucking tradition, Delevingne wore a traditional suit to her friend Princess Eugenie’s royal wedding back in 2018.

Continuing her flair for a bit of goth now and then, Delevingne wore this graphic black Dior couture gown for the 2018 Catholic-themed Met Gala.

Strengthening her relationship with Dior under former creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri, Delevingne wore Dior separates, with some peek-a-boo underwear, to the brand’s fall 2018 show.

In a daring movie, Delevingne mixed classic Chanel with Supreme underwear at the French maison’s Paris Fashion Week fall 2017 show.

Delevingne joined the #BalmainArmy in 2016, wearing one of Olivier Rousteing’s body-con jumpsuits for the MTV Movie Awards.

Then, of course, there’s her long-standing muse-ship with Karl Lagerfeld; she oozed Chanel couture at the fashion house’s spring 2016 presentation.

Delevingne is a woman of many hats, moving fluidly back and forth between the fashion and film worlds (and, more than occasionally, mixing the two). She wore a feathered Burberry mini for the premiere of Pan in London.

British It girls, unite. Delevingne hasn’t cut ties with Burberry by any means; she and Kate Moss appeared at the house’s Spring 2015 show together.

And from Burberry girl to Saint Laurent—at the New York premiere of Paper Towns, Delevingne opted for a shimmery Saint Laurent look, sticking with the mini dresses that served her well throughout the press tour.

From model to movie star—Delevingne was spotted on the Paper Towns press circuit in a Dion Lee mini dress with Saint Laurent sandals, and a superhero-esque shade of eyeshadow (perhaps foreshadowing her Suicide Squad casting to come).

Delevingne’s embellished Roberto Cavalli gown wasn’t even the highlight of her look for the 2014 De Grisogono party at the Cannes Film Festival — instead, it was the De Grisogono monkey necklace she wore slung over her back.

In a rare diversion from her usual look, Delevingne eschewed Burberry in favor of Stella McCartney at the 2014 Met Gala (she also arrived as part of the designer’s squad), making the pantsuit look work for her.

Delevingne again selected Burberry in 2013–this time for her Cannes debut, appearing at the opening ceremony and The Great Gatsby premiere.

At the 2013 Met Gala for “Punk: From Chaos to Couture,” Delevingne threw it back to her gala debut two years prior in a similar, but more daring, Burberry design. Maturing hand-in-hand with the label’s former designer, Christopher Bailey.

Delevingne was dubbed Model of the Year at the British Fashion Awards in 2012, an accolade she accepted in a metallic green Burberry shift.

Delevingne’s Emilio Pucci hints at her penchant for a plunging neckline, but with a bit more color than her later style choices.

For the 2012 amfAR gala at Cannes, Delevingne wore a forest green Burberry Prorsum gown, inaugurating her color phase. (It didn’t last long.)

At the following year’s Met Gala for “Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations,” Delevingne walked the red carpet with Jourdan Dunn in Burberry yet again, a relatively understated look for the budding style star.

Delevingne made her Met Gala debut at the 2011 event for “Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty” in a Burberry gown with fellow model Douglas Booth.

A very blonde and very baby-faced Delevingne made an appearance at the Robert Cavalli 40-year celebration at Paris Fashion Week in September 2010.
