Back in December 2015, Cara Delevingne and then-girlfriend Annie Clark, better known as St. Vincent, turned heads when they slipped out of London’s Scala nightclub after the Wave Makers benefit concert.
The outing wasn’t just another night on the town—it became one of those unforgettable snapshots of Cara’s edgy, mid-2010s style.

The then-23-year-old model flaunted her legs in a daring black mini dress with lace cutout panels by For Love & Lemons, a Los Angeles–based label founded in 2011 by best friends Laura Hall and Gillian Rose Kern.
Known for its feminine, romantic, and whimsical aesthetic—often accented with lace, frills, floral motifs, and bows—the brand’s playful sensibility added a softer edge to Cara’s otherwise all-black, rocker-chic ensemble.

Cara rounded out her all-black ensemble with a flirty yet feminine pair of Tabitha Simmons sandal booties, the kind of statement-making shoes that perfectly captured her edgy, mid-2010s style.
The designer behind the heels, Tabitha Simmons, is a British-born creative who has made her mark as a stylist, editor, and shoe visionary.
