Cara Delevingne's beauty evolution is as bold as her brows. While she's fairly new to the red carpet — she made her film debut in 2012's Anna Karenina — she's made up for lost time in a big way. Specifically, her ability to pivot from old-Hollywood waves to disco-inspired eyes to '90s throwback lips and beyond with ease. All while keeping her enviable arches front and center, naturally.
As an up-and-coming British fashion model back in 2010, Delevingne's go-to look included a subtly smoky eye and free-flowing blonde locks, but that has since given way to a parade of experimental beauty looks. Red lips? Mastered. Smoky eyes? Child's play. Cobalt-blue liner? Executed perfectly.
Despite being widely recognized in the beauty sphere for her look-at-me brows, we'll show that there are many more reasons to appreciate the British beauty’s dazzling evolution. Her best looks through the years, ahead.

While a red lip and smoky eye together are commonplace on the red carpet today, this was a very bold look at the time. This 2013 Cannes Film Festival look showcased smoldering, heavily smudged, smoky eye with crimson lips and nails. Full glam — and we love it.

Just a few months later, the star ditched her hair altogether to a fully-shaven buzz for her role alongside Jaden Smith in Life In A Year. Soon enough, she had temporarily covered her bare scalp in silver paint for 2017's Met Gala.

That same month, Delevingne debuted what many would say was the pièce de résistance of the press tour for Valerian And The City Of A Thousand Planets. It might not be a live bird, but the silk headband and set of faux bangs stole the spotlight at the European premiere of her sci-fi film.

Just six short months after going rogue with her style, Delevingne let her hair grow out to a shaggy pixie. What's more, she dyed it back to a warmer shade of brown — a color she hadn't rocked in over three years.

In case you thought Delevingne would just continue to grow her hair out naturally, think again: She went ahead and bleached it instead for a perfectly stark-white look.

For the 2018 Met Gala, Delevingne took monochromatic hair and makeup to a new level. Sure, her brows were painted gold, but those pink highlights were identical to her blotted lip. Sadly, this color transformation was only temporary: Her hairstylist Mara Roszak swept on Joico Color Butter, a semi-permanent color that only lasts a few washes.

…and back to blonde she goes. Delevingne debuted a freshly bleached pixie just two weeks after temporarily dyeing it pink.

In September 2018, Delevingne returned to the runway for Paris Fashion Week sporting an end-of-summer glow and noticeably darker roots for the first time in months.

Delevingne loves to show up to the Met Gala with a drastic hair change in tow. In 2019, she walked the red carpet with a new bronde hair color and a ponytail so long it could rival Ariana Grande’s.

A month later, the model and activist attended the TrevorLIVE Gala in New York, where she debuted a blunt lob. As much as we loved the mid-length look, her speech — featuring a subtle dedication to her rumored fiancée Ashley Benson — undoubtedly stole the show.
