Cara Delevingne turned heads at the Cannes Film Festival with a bold new look that left fans almost unable to recognize her. Attending the premiere of The History of Sound, the model and actress stepped onto the red carpet with jet black hair and sharp baby bangs, a striking departure from her usual dirty blonde locks.
Her hair was styled with a wet-look texture, and even her eyebrows were dyed black to match the dramatic transformation. Delevingne completed the look with a modest burgundy ballgown, featuring a structured bodice and a full-length skirt. In line with Cannes’ updated dress code promoting “decency,” her gown had no sheer fabric, long train, or excessive volume.
The 32-year-old is known for her ever-changing hairstyles. Last fall, she sported micro-bangs at the LACMA Art+Film Gala, channeling an Audrey Hepburn-inspired vibe. Just two weeks ago, she appeared in London without bangs, wearing a daring see-through gown with a plunging neckline.
Delevingne isn’t the only star experimenting with bold styles at this year’s Cannes. Angelina Jolie made a high-profile return, Bella Hadid unveiled a new blonde look, and Kristen Stewart embraced pink hair. Actress Andie MacDowell also stood out with a sleek updo featuring straight side bangs on the Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning red carpet.
