Cara Jocelyn Delevingne is an English model and actress.
Delevingne’s career began in fashion modeling, where she won Model of the Year at the British Fashion Awards in 2012 and 2014. Her first foray into acting was a side role in the 2012 film adaptation of Anna Karenina. She went on to play the Enchantress in the film Suicide Squad (2016), starred in Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017), she played Vignette in the Amazon serie Carnival Row (2019–2023), and joined the cast of Only Murders in the Building for season 2.
In 2017, she made her debut as a novelist of young adult fiction with her book Mirror, Mirror, which explores “sexuality, identity, friendship, and betrayal", according to Delevingne. She wanted to "tell a story that gives the reader a realistic picture of the turbulent roller-coaster teenage years", and for them to know that "It’s OK if you don’t know who you are yet. As long as you learn what it is that makes you happy, and follow your heart, everything will be OK.”[1]
In 2015, Delevingne spoke to Vogue about her bisexuality and the confusion and difficulties it caused her growing up. Cara recalled that the possibility of being gay frightened her as a child.
It took me a long time to accept the idea until I first fell in love with a girl at 20 and recognized that I had to accept it. But I have erotic dreams only about men. I had one two nights ago where I went up to a guy in the back of a VW minivan, with a bunch of his friends around him, and pretty much jumped him. Women are what completely inspire me, and they have also been my downfall. I have only been hurt by women, my mother first of all. [1]
The suggestion that her bisexuality might be a phase caused a small furor on the internet and caused Delevingne to once again confirm that she is bi. She went on to tell the New York Times,
My sexuality is not a phase. I am who I am. [2]
Cara Delevigne has always been outspokenly sex-positive. Along with Lora di Carlo, she is a co-owner of the sex toy brand Lora DiCarlo. She also starred in and executive produced BBC Three/Hulu docuseries Planet Sex with Cara Delevingne (2022).[3]
