She can be seen on the red carpet in chic evening dress, from under which tattoos peek out with truly British chic. In everyday life, she always wears a hipster jacket, T-shirt and shorts, and always a hat - this is her signature.

Movie

Having become a world-famous model, Kara did not give up her acting dream.
At the age of sixteen, the girl received a very serious mental trauma. She did not audition for Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. Delevingne was sure that she was born for this role. Then for a long time she could not overcome herself and watch the film. When I finally saw the movie, because of my resentment, I hated the actress who played Alice, actress Mia Wasikowska. Kara does not know how to lose with dignity, but is gradually trying to learn.

Her film debut was Princess Sorokina in the British feature film Anna Karenina directed by Joe Wright. The role was very small, but Kara met Keira Knightley and Jude Law on the set.

In 2014, in the psychological thriller “The Face of an Angel” directed by Michael Winterbottom, Kara played student Melanie, working as a waitress in a bar. For this work, Delevingne received rave reviews from critics and was nominated for the annual British Independent Film Awards in the Most Promising Debut category.

Another director, Matthew Cullen, invited Kara to play the role of Cat Talent in his thriller London Fields.

After this, Hollywood producers and directors drew attention to Delevingne’s talent. In 2015, she starred in the American film “Paper Towns” by Jake Schreyer, based on the story of the same name by John Green, played Margot Roth Spiegelman, and her partner in the film was actor Nat Wolff. This was the first the main role for Delevingne. The girl conscientiously went to all the auditions and did not even hope that she would be approved. And when they called her at the hotel and informed her that she had been approved for the role, Kara squealed with joy so much that the administrator came to find out if everything was all right with her.

Everyone firmly associates Delevingne with Britain, but in the film “Paper Towns” she had to play an American. She began to rebuild herself with a conversational accent, and then during the filming period she even tried to think in an American way. Kara began to speak with an American accent outside the set. According to her, the girl even had American dreams. It was worth it, the actress played flawlessly in the film.

Kara is getting more and more invitations to act in films, in three recent years Five new characters were added to the list of her roles:

• 2015 – Mermaid in the film “Pan: Journey to Neverland”;
• 2016 – Viola in “Children in Love” and Enchantress in “Suicide Squad”;
• 2017 – Henrietta in “Tulip Fever” and Laureline in Luc Besson’s film “Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets.”

Kara became successful in two areas (modeling and cinema), where it is very difficult to break into. But it was in the world of fashion that she was remembered because she had absolutely no regard for money and vanity. Some thought she was crazy, yet they invited her to shows again and again. The “by contradiction” method worked. There were thousands of girls around, aspiring to become fashion models, but preference was given to Kara. She admits that in the modeling business you can be called to shows and then abruptly forgotten forever.

In cinema everything is completely different, much more stable. If the audience likes you and remembers you, then it will last for a long time. Acting is her true passion. She would like to work in cinema all her life, sparing no blood, sweat and tears.

In the modeling business, her idol is Kate Moss. In films, she adores and respects Helen Mirren, Judi Dench, Meryl Streep, the girl wants to learn how to act as well as them. Among the directors, she likes the stylish Tarantino, Wes Anderson, Tim Burton, she would be happy to work with them.

But among films or music, Kara cannot give a clear preference to anything. Today she will watch one movie, and tomorrow a completely different one, also with musical compositions: it all depends on the mood, activities, time and state of mind.

Kara has several dream roles. The actress would really like to star in some film about the future, to play the first woman - the President of the United States or the first woman - a Formula 1 racing champion. She would also like to try herself on the theater stage and as a director.

Personal life

As for her personal life, Kara does not let herself or the journalists get bored.
For some time she dated the son of British musician Ronnie Wood, Tyrone Woods. But the man was much older than Kara, and for this reason they quickly broke up. Delevingne then had a short relationship with Harry Styles (member of the British pop group One Direction).

In 2014, Kara confirmed rumors about her bisexuality and began dating American actress Michelle Rodriguez. But she soon cheated on her, and Delevingne came to the premiere of the film “Paper Towns” in 2015 in New York with her new love, 32-year-old singer Annie Clark. After this, the girls very often appeared at social events and spent their holidays together. In an interview, Kara said that she loves Annie and is not afraid of the judgment of others.

But in 2016 they broke up. The reason was the large distance between the lovers; they were unable to live in two countries and maintain a romantic relationship at the same time.

Kara didn't grieve for too long, now she's new love– Model Adooa Aboah.
Also, the attention of the press is constantly focused on Kara's friends - Karlie Kloss and Taylor Swift. The three of them very often and with pleasure appear in public - at film premieres, concerts, fashion shows. Friendship is very important for Kara, she will not keep casual acquaintances around her, only very close friends can be near her. Ever since school, the concepts of loyalty and trust have been very important to Kara. According to her, for the sake of her friends she is ready to throw herself under the bus.

Her other talents and hobbies

Kara's main hobby besides cinema is music. At home she has a collection of ten exclusive electric guitars.

The girl knows how to perform magic tricks well. Kara even jokes that if her career as a model and actress fails, she can always join a traveling circus.

Delevingne is also good at baking. She loves flour, but, like everyone else, she gets better from it. To film Suicide Squad, she had to go on a low-carb diet because she had to look fit and athletic on camera. Sitting on just proteins and vegetables is very boring, but Kara is ready to do a lot for the sake of good roles(unless he never plucks his unique eyebrows).

If she needs to relax, she does yoga or reads.

She has a very interesting image of a model-looking rocker girl. But no one came up with this image for her. It’s just that Kara graduated from music school and plays different instruments. She loves biker jackets and leather clothes. That's all the components of the image. Well, and Delevingne is an undoubted savage, Cara cannot be put in a cage, no matter how beautiful and golden she may be...

Cara Delevingne with her lover Annie Clark

As for romantic relationships, then our heroine knows exactly how to add some zest to them. In an interview with the publication, she admitted:

I did a lot of romantic things - sang serenades, wrote love letters, flew to the other side of the world to see each other.

However, romantic exploits are not the only thing Delevingne is capable of for the sake of her loved ones:

I am the best friend and partner in the world. If a person is truly important to me, I am ready to do anything for him - even throw myself under the wheels of a car after him to save his life.

However, Kara is ready to make sacrifices only for the sake of a “real” relationship. This is what she calls a relationship based on trust:

Loyalty is one of the most important things in the world to me. Just as important as tolerance, tolerance. There's nowhere without her.

In addition, Kara believes in the unity of opposites:

I could never date anyone like me. It would all end with us simply killing each other. I need someone completely different - pragmatic, collected, able to plan.

However, Kara has other strengths, which, according to her, helped the girl win her lover’s heart:

I may have problems with self-organization, but I am ready to fight for it to the last.

Despite the fact that Kara does not hide her tender feelings for Annie Clark from the public, the sexual orientation of the actress who has not officially come out is still a controversial issue. And even for herself. According to Kara, she did not immediately accept her sexual preferences:

It took me a long time to figure out what was happening, and then, at the age of 20, I fell in love with a girl and realized that I had to accept it.

Let us remember that before her affair with Annie Clark, Kara had tender feelings with. At the beginning of last year, Michelle herself announced this - shortly after confessing her bisexuality, which she could not decide for a long time.

She's so wonderful! When we started hanging out together, I realized how amazing she is!

Michelle spoke about her friend. Why Rodriguez’s relationship with the “so wonderful” Delevingne ended is not known for certain. Kara, however, clarifies:

Of course, if I met a guy with whom I could fall in love, I would want to marry him and have children. But this very thought always scared me to death, because I am a real well of madness. I was always afraid that a guy would leave me as soon as he really knew me.

In short, our heroine does not deny that her bisexuality may be associated with psychological problems, who “provided” her with psoriasis. At a young age, she suffered from severe depression, after which she dropped out of school and plunged headlong into a modeling career. She, however, also disappointed her.

I didn’t want to live anymore, I felt so lonely, I wanted the world to just swallow me up. It seemed to me that my only way out was death. And when my body was covered with bleeding red ulcers, I felt like just a stranger in this world.

But in her relationship with singer Annie Clark, Kara feels absolutely happy:

The fact that today I feel so happy and satisfied with who I am is due in large part to the love I have for my girlfriend. And even the words that I am uttering now are actually a miracle.

Despite numerous conflicts, the girls were able to maintain their relationship. This means that we can only wish them to continue in the same spirit. After all, we like happy Kara much more!

It would seem that something bad could happen: a wealthy family, best school London, and the fulfillment of many desires, but it turns out that there were very sad periods in their family. So, Poppy remembers 1998:

“I had just turned 12 years old, and Kara was actually 6. At first we didn’t understand what was happening to my mother, but then they tactfully explained to us that it was drugs. Mom took heroin and her attacks could be compared to scenes from horror films. She screamed, broke dishes, and was simply insane. She scared us so much that we huddled in our room and locked the door. Kara was very afraid to sleep alone in her bed and constantly came running to me at night.”

After this, Kara continued the story:

“For me, my mother’s behavior was something very incomprehensible. Her attacks drove me to the point that I myself began to take drugs in my youth. Then it got to the point where I started cutting my hands and bleeding. I really wanted to die. If it weren’t for the sisters, I think it would all have ended very badly.”

Chloe also talked a little about Pandora Delevingne:

“Our mother’s drug use brought us very close. I see Kara and Poppy not only as sisters, but also as close friends. If they asked me what I would do for them, my answer would be unequivocal: “Everything.”

In her memoirs in 2015, Pandora explained what pushed her to use drugs and alcohol. Here are the lines in the book:

“I struggled with this addiction for a long time. Now it’s very difficult for me to say what pushed me to heroin and drinking, I think it was depression. She is the one who has tormented me all my life. The attacks come over me and then go away. In 2014, I experienced depression again. I could lie on the bed for hours and look at the light bulb, not understanding how to live further. Then I really wanted to commit suicide. My doctor explained to me that this condition is caused by neurological diseases. I am currently undergoing treatment."

By the way, now things are much better for Pandora Delevingne than 2 years ago. She began studying fashion and works as a wardrobe consultant for the UK chain of stores Selfridges.
