She’s been called the “only true modern supermodel” and “the face of the decade,” so we’re about to see a whole more of Cara Delevingne. The 21-year-old British model is to now as Kate Moss was to the 1990s, except with a widely popular Instagram account, and to quote a profile in New York, “In an age of the fastidiously styled and perfectly presented model, Delevingne offers something gloriously weird.” Meaning, she’s the type of gal who, after being named Model of the Year, called it a “Zoolander moment.” She’s been fashion world famous since 2010, but like so many models before her, she’s now giving this whole acting thing a shot, and will soon make her TV debut in Playhouse Presents: Timeless.
It’s time to learn some things about her.
1. Her bushy eyebrows are her widely popular trademark, so much so that she “inspired a massive increase in the number of women looking to fill in their sparse eyebrows with a transplant.”

2. She was born into privilege in London. “Her mother, Pandora, was an 80s It girl before she married Charles Delevingne, whose viscount grandfather was once part of Princess Margaret’s Mustique set.” If you checked out after the name “Pandora,” I don’t blame you.

3. She’s, um, really good friends with Michelle Rodriguez.

4. Outside of her role in Playhouse Presents: Timeless, Cara can be seen in Joe Wright’s 2012 adaptation of Anna Karenina, and she’ re-teamed with Wright for Pan, which is due out next year and co-stars Hugh Jackman and Rooney Mara. She also voiced a Radio DJ in Grand Theft Auto V.

5. She owns a rabbit, Cecil, and he has his own Instagram account with 100,000 Followers.
6. Remember when Kate Upton did the Dougie and became a superstar? Well, this video’s a bit like that, except it’s the “Harlem Shake,” and instead of Upton, you’ve got Cara with fellow pretty people Jourdan Dunn and Rosie Tapner. (2013 was a really f*cking weird year.)
7. She was in a band when she was 12, and still occasionally drums.
8. She’s basically friends with everyone, from Aaron Paul to Jessica Chastain.


9. She is not shy about posing semi-nude.

10. I could mention her obsession with onesies or her cocaine scandal, but she’s a model — of course she’s been embroiled in a cocaine scandal. Instead, here’s a photo of Cara with Emma Watson.

She literally came out of Pandora’s box?
Well, I don’t see how she could be any trouble.

Excellent work.

COTW – oh wait this isn’t Filmdrunk. Many failures.
I don’t get it…looks like a 12 year old boy
Where do you live where 12 year old boys look like that?
Cornwall?
The only place a 12 year old boy looks like that is in Chernobyl.
With that said, she’s not my cup of tea.

Yeah, the missus served her drinks in Dalston once (think Brooklyn, US readers) and she was clearly on a lot of white powder. I don’t really know why that needed to be added but work’s slow.
I don’t know who is in charge of these things but it was decreed a couple of years ago that every tabloid – the British rags that is – had to feature her in their Showbiz columns or their fashion tips pages at least three times a week. “Here’s Cara wearing jeans. You should wear jeans too. ” “Here’s Cara getting into a taxi at night. You should go out and go for a taxi ride too.” She’s been blessed but I’m not buying it. I did once have a ride in a taxi though, so her influence may be more pervasive than I anticipated.
She looks ok..nothing real special here
I’m a seller. You can’t call someone “the only true modern supermodel” or “the face of the decade” in the same decade that Kate Upton exists.
And while I realize there’s nothing worse than an internet commenter saying 2/10 etc., I really don’t think there’s anything superlative to see here.
If I was at a party where all the girls looked like her, I’d go to the bar.
Kate Upton is the most overrated model of the last decade. Her mustache [media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com] and acne [media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com] are very well photoshoped and/or covered in makeup.
If she didn’t have large breast, she wouldn’t be popular.
I love how you posted the same picture for both haha. Ew!
Well, too busy looking down to notice the face, so win.
If she didn’t have large breast, she wouldn’t be popular.
Wait, which breast is the large one?
@Brett
Seriously? You’re breaking down tape on Kate Upton’s bona fides? Is she just a system supermodel?
She’s tall, built for sin, and she’s pretty self aware for a 22 year old who’s rich because of her boobs. Heterosexual men find her attractive. It’s science.
@Kungjitsu I’m not saying that she isn’t attractive and has some nice assets, but in no way is she “the face of the decade” as the original comment suggested. The “breast of the decade” maybe. Her face isn’t what pays the bills.
@Brett
As it happens, I’m actually correct, and you’re incorrect
@Brett: You mean, “IF she had never gotten a boob job”. Look up pictures of her from before she was famous. Those funbags (as well as her nose having a little work done) are not real.
And to think her career started here: [www.withlionsproductions.com]
I know it’s sexist and wrong but I get weirdly depressed when I see a hot girl in a lesbian relationship. Like here’s this expensive meal I know I can never, ever eat but I liked knowing it was on the menu.
I’ve never seen it described better. Thank you sir.
Cara Delevingne is the Kobe Beef steak I will never get to eat.
Again, I am aware of how sexist that is but I feel it anyway.
Cara Delevingne has my respect. If I was rich,famous and good looking this is exactly how I would spend my time. Having fun all the time and hanging around other famous people all day.
So we’re featuring drugged out, alcoholic supermodels now? Great Uproxx. Awesome.
You guys do these profile things all the time. I always read them. And yet, I still don’t know who any of these people are. Ten minutes from now, if someone asks me, “Who is Cara Delevingne?”, I will have no idea.
Girl’s got no rhythm.
