Cara Delevingne Met Gala Outfits Through The Years — Cara Delevingne knows how to serve a look – and a message. From walking the high-fashion runway to the red carpet, she always turns heads. Paired with her blunt-yet-hilarious personality, she’s got everything it takes to get people talking. Unsurprisingly, things are no different when it comes to her selection of outfits for the annual Met Gala fundraiser. From her very pointed message at the 2021 Met Gala written across her Maria Grazia Chiurti-designed top – which took the form of a bulletproof vest (left) – to the plunging neckline of her studded and fierce Burberry gown from 2013’s event (right), she never misses the mark. Cara’s sharp eye for style matched with her unrelenting confidence and poise is what makes her not only a red carpet stunner, but a true fashion icon.

Cara Delevingne At The 2014 Met Gala

Cara Delevingne At The 2014 Met Gala — The Met Gala’s May 5, 2014 fundraiser celebrated ‘Great American Couturier’ Charles James with the official theme of ‘Charles James: Beyond Fashion.’ While the dress code for the men was super strict (it was reported that editor of Vogue Anna Wintour required men to dress in ‘white tie and decorations’), the women of the night seemed to have more free will. This was exemplified by Cara Delevingne’s Stella McCartney fitted trousers and strappy crop top ensemble. She paired it with black and white pumps and a black clutch for a simple and chic look.

They were done by celebrity tattoo artist Keith “Bang Bang” McCurdy, per Cosmopolitan.

Honing on the sci-fi element of her look was her newly shaved head that was painted metallic silver. Finishing off the look were sparkles that cascaded down the side of her face.
