Model Cara Delevingne looked completely unrecognizable on the Cannes Film Festival red carpet prior to attending the premiere of The History of Sound, a new film helmed by heartthrobs Gladiator II star Paul Mescal and Challengers star Josh O’Connor.
Delevingne, 32, was photographed on the red carpet in the best that goth glam has to offer. She rocked a stunning deep red ball gown that complemented her grungy makeup, complete with smokey eyes and a stunning nude lip. But perhaps the most shocking element of the American Horror Story star’s look was her hair. She donned a gorgeous dark brown wavy long bob that hit just at her collar bone — along with matching dark, thick eyebrows — but it was particularly styled in a wet look.
Fashion and beauty aficionados will remember when Kim Kardashianattended the 2019 Met Gala with an entirely wet look, which also included her dark locks. Delevingne might not be committed to the bit with her entire look, but the wet hair really suits her well, as does the dark color. Seeing any longtime blonde go dark is always a fun change.
That said, Delevingne has been reinventing herself in a major way over the last few years. In 2022, she entered a 12-step program to attempt sobriety after a longtime addiction to alcohol. She has seemingly been sober since completing that program and was even photographed looking happy and healthy at Coachella last month. In the images from the festival, Delevingne can be seen smiling and looking incredibly fresh-faced and healthy with her signature blonde locks flowing.
The model has spoken out about working on herself — and her desire to be honest about what she’s gone through — since beginning to live a sober lifestyle.
“Whether it’s been being vocal about anxiety, depression, recovery, anything, it’s just you owe it to people to talk about your struggles, because being in this world is not perfect,” she admitted in an interview with Variety in May 2024. “No one is perfect. So to be honest, it’s the least I can do.”
