Cara Delevingne’s transformation from fresh-faced teen model to Hollywood rebel as fears grow over disturbing behaviour

FOR years, Cara Delevingne has been the 'It' model with a hugely successful career and pushed boundaries with her iconic looks.

But the supermodel, 30, has sparked fears recently, after a worrying set of pictures emerged of her looking dishevelled, being thrown off of Jay-Z's plane.

Her dramatic change in appearance is a long way from the fresh-faced teen who signed to a modelling agency when she was just 17, in 2009.

Cara, who is from a high-society family and grew up in London's Belgravia, was given her big break in 2011 when Burberry's then creative director, Christopher Bailey, cast her in his 2011 London Fashion Week show, when she was 18.

She soon became one of the most in-demand models in the world - and later took on acting in hit films, including Suicide Squad in 2020.

But, this week, fans have become concerned after the star failed to attend the launch of her own capsule collection with the late Karl Lagerfeld in New York on Monday.

Earlier snaps had shown the self-styled “rebel” smoking from a pipe before going into a sex shop. 

And last month she was spotted standing on top of a vehicle while living it up on the party island of Ibiza with actress pals Margot Robbie and Sienna Miller as she celebrated turning 30.

Cara has confessed to getting drawn into drug taking in the past and has previously struggled to cope with the pressures of the fashion world.

She has also been previously diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

The model was spotted at Glastonbury over the summer and the bohemian Burning Man festival in the Nevada desert last week, where friends reported that she barely stopped to eat.

Here, we chart her changing looks over the years.
