CANNES, France — British model and actress Cara Delevingne stunned spectators at the Cannes Film Festival this week, debuting a bold new gothic-inspired hairstyle that left many doing a double take.
Walking the red carpet for the premiere of The History of Sound, Delevingne appeared nearly unrecognizable with jet-black hair, sharp micro bangs, and a wet-look shag haircut that channeled full-on grunge. The dramatic transformation—complete with dyed black eyebrows to match—was created by L’Oréal Paris International Hair Artist & Expert Stéphane Lancien.
The style features micro bangs hovering just above the brows, paired with edgy, textured layers that stop at the shoulders. It’s a marked departure from Delevingne’s more familiar long, blonde waves, but not her first foray into daring beauty statements. Fans will recall her previous experiments with a pink pixie cut and a mohawk.
Complementing her dark tresses, Delevingne’s makeup leaned into soft grunge, with L’Oréal Paris Global Makeup Artist Harold James crafting a sultry smoky eye using the brand’s Infallible Grip Liner and Paradise Big Deal Waterproof Mascara.
However, as captivating as the look was, it turns out the transformation was temporary. Delevingne reappeared the following evening at the Colours of Time premiere sporting her signature long blonde locks—confirming the gothic glam was achieved with a high-quality wig. The star previously employed similar styling for her role in American Horror Story in 2023, when she was seen with dark brunette hair and blunt bangs, later revealed to be another wig.
Though temporary, these bold hair shifts highlight an important takeaway in modern hair health tips: versatility doesn’t have to come at the cost of damage. For those wanting to experiment with color or cut without long-term commitment—or risking hair damage from dyes and heat styling—high-quality wigs can offer a stylish, protective solution.
Whether real or not, Delevingne’s striking appearance proves once again she remains a fearless fashion chameleon—always ready to reinvent her look on the world stage.
