Happy birthday Queen Delevingne!
Our favourite Brit model/actress/beatboxer/drummer turns 23 today. Besides being one of the most in-demand models of the moment, Cara is making a name for herself in the film industry too. Having landed the lead role in John Green’s Paper Towns, Cara also scooped the coveted role of Enchantress in the upcoming Suicide Squad alongside Jared Leto and Margot Robbie.
If this is what 23 is looking like for Cara, we can’t wait to see what the next 23 years hold. We’re pretty sure she’ll keep us intrigued.
But for now, we figured we’d do a little research and give you 23 things you didn’t know about Cara on her 23rd birthday.
