Cara Delevingne on modelling in pre-MeToo era

Supermodel Cara Delevingne revealed she still carries a “chip on her shoulder” from her experiences in the fashion industry, which she described as a “rough time” before the MeToo movement.

Delevingne, who became a prominent model in the 2010s, highlighted the lack of safety and the presence of a “sexual misconduct vibe of straight older photographers” during her early career.

She moved to Los Angeles in 2015 to “reinvent herself” and pursue acting, starring in films such as Paper Towns and Suicide Squad.

The model candidly spoke about her personal struggles, including self-hatred, fragility, and a “spiral into drugs and alcohol,” emphasising the importance of self-advocacy.

Delevingne has since launched a music career, releasing singles like “I Forgot” and “Out of My Head,” and performing at various shows this summer.
