Cara Delevingne's Style Staples: The 10 Pieces You Need To Dress Just Like Her
Cara Delevingne is one of the world's favorite models right now — and that's saying something. Despite fashion's love affair with Miranda Kerr, the obsession with Robyn Lawley, and an ongoing fling with Kate Upton, the younger Ms. Delevingne has continued to stay right on the forefront of everyone's radar. Sure, this phenomenon is due in part to her priceless documentation of people flubbing her name, her are they/aren't they romances, and her confidence on the catwalk. But where Delevingne truly excels is her style. Only she could rock a Simpson's sweatshirt and make it look chic, or throw the rule book out the window and pair a maxi silhouette with a high skirt slit a plunging neckline. So here is my guide to dressing like Cara Delevingne — without dipping into your savings.
Draped Maxi Dress
Delevingne knows how to rock an effortlessly alluring ensemble, and this gorgeous black maxi dress is no exception. A long, drapey gown can be overwhelming on a small frame, but Delevingne balanced the volume and dark shade by choosing a piece with a plunging neckline, 3/4 sleeves, and a thigh-high slit.
Black Menswear-Inspired Ensemble
Delevingne’s menswear-inspired ensemble is just a touch more chic than the average attempt at channeling the trend thanks to a slim, tailored silhouette, black motorcycle booties, and a jaunty hat.
Concert Tee
One of this model’s off-duty style staples is the vintage concert tee. Whether she’s sitting court-side at a basketball game or strolling the streets of Paris, a faded, graphic tee gives Delevingne an extra bit of quirk.
Casual Tuxedo
Regardless of gender, tuxedos make everyone look chic. And Cara Delevingne’s version is appropriately offbeat. Her tuxedo style of choice involves a pair of striped skinny jeans, a mismatched sweatshirt and a casual tee — perfect for a lazy Saturday or a coffee with friends.
Blue Babydoll Dress
Delevingne looks fabulous in just about everything, but in a light blue minidress paired with an oversized necklace and black jacket, she channels casual elegance to a T.
Metallic Shift Dress
Leave it to Delevingne to try out Spring 2014’s metallic trend six months in advance. The model rocks her metallic shift dress with a slim clutch and tousled tresses.
Leather Biker Jacket
A motorcycle jacket makes basically anyone look automatically chicer, but Delevingne earns extra style points by pairing hers with a black minidress.
Black Lace Dress
Delevingne knows the power of black lace on the red carpet, especially when paired with a statement red lip and some glitzy statement jewelry.
Black and White Bomber Jacket
Leave it to Delevingne to flawlessly add satin to the sporty-chic trend with this cool bomber jacket. Her choice is extra chic thanks to the black and white palette.
