Back in October 2014, Cara Delevingne—best known at the time for dominating the runways of top fashion houses—was beginning to explore a new career path in acting.
At just 22 years old, she landed a role in The Face of an Angel, a psychological thriller also starring Kate Beckinsale and Daniel Brühl.

Red Carpet Debut in Donna Karan and Wedge Sneakers
In October 2014, Cara made her red carpet debut as a film actress at the BFI London Film Festival, attending the premiere at the Odeon Cinema in London.
Drawing from her catwalk experience, she confidently owned the red carpet in a sleek mini black dress by Donna Karan, which perfectly captured her signature rebel-chic aesthetic.

She completed the edgy look with gold jewelry, kohl-rimmed eyes, bold brows, and nude lips. Staying true to her street-style roots, she added a backpack from her Mulberry collaboration and finished off the outfit with a pair of statement wedge trainers.
Cara’s Collaboration With Mulberry: Edgy Meets Elegant
If you’re a fan of Mulberry’s young and preppy aesthetic, you’ll love their collection, designed by British supermodel Cara Delevingne.
Cara’s line of Mulberry bags features 18 different styles of backpacks, all with a heart-shaped patch on the inside part, which is a nod to the feisty model’s heart tattoo.

According to reports, the rucksacks already have a lengthy waiting list, and some of the more popular styles are already sold out.
After its debut at London Fashion Week a couple of months ago, bag lovers, fashionistas, and even celebrities have been clamoring for a piece of the Cara backpack. It is available in three sizes: mini, regular, and large.
The bag features a variety of styles, ranging from classic to edgy, and is available in a wide array of colors and prints. It can be worn as a shoulder bag, as a backpack, or handheld!
