Cara Delevingne has long been celebrated for blending high-fashion elegance with a rebellious, rock-and-roll edge.
One of her most memorable demonstrations of this signature style occurred at the 2014 Elle Style Awards at One Embankment in London, where she arrived in a vintage-inspired ensemble that perfectly balanced classic glamour with modern grit.

While her draped kimono-style gown drew immediate attention, the evening also marked a significant career milestone: the debut of her collaborative collection with Mulberry.

She used the red carpet to showcase a piece from the Mulberry line—a quilted Nappa leather bag that highlighted her first major foray into fashion design.

Known for her quirky, insouciant sense of style, the successful model sauntered down the red carpet in a vintage black gown with a dangerously low neckline, revealing ample cleavage.

Her floor-length dress also featured a gathered waist and a wrap skirt.
To add a bit of edge to her sultry and seductive look, she styled her hair in an asymmetrical braid on one side and cascading waves on the other.

These Burberry Prorsum ‘Chatsworth’ wedges were clearly a favorite in Cara’s rotation at the time.
Just days before the Elle Style Awards, she was spotted wearing the same platforms for a more structured, off-duty look during a date night with her father, Charles Delevingne, at Christie’s in Mayfair.
On that occasion, she traded the ethereal vintage gown for a sharp, embroidered Balmain military jacket, proving the sculptural wedges were as versatile as they were edgy.

Cara wore the “Chatsworth” platform wedges from Burberry Prorsum, featuring curved platforms, pointed toes, ankle straps, and black patent leather.
