Back in July 2016, Comic-Con turned into a fashion moment when Cara Delevingne stepped out with her Suicide Squad castmates to promote the summer’s most anticipated superhero blockbuster.
At just 23, the model-turned-actress was already establishing herself as a red-carpet risk taker, rocking a look straight off the Versace Fall 2016 runway. The striped navy crop top and powder-blue high-waisted trousers gave her a sharp yet playful edge — a throwback that still feels strikingly modern today.

Sporty Details Meet High-Drama Glam: Cara’s Versace Look with Saint Laurent Janis Pumps
Interesting touches, such as the thumbhole sleeves and notched hems, gave Cara’s preppy Versace ensemble a sporty edge, but it was her choice of footwear that truly elevated the look.
She finished the outfit with Saint Laurent’s iconic “Janis” platform pumps in black leather — a statement heel celebrated for its razor-sharp pointed toe, soaring 5-inch stiletto, and a sleek, timeless silhouette.
Crafted in Italy from supple leather, the Janis has become a favorite among celebrities for its ability to combine dramatic height with classic elegance.
