Cara Delevingne debuts new ‘chocolate pixie’ hair: love it or hate it?

Cara Delevingne signs copies of her debut novel 'Mirror Mirror'

Earlier this year, Cara Delevingne shaved her head. She did it for a role in the upcoming film Life In a Year. For months now, she’s been playing around with various looks, from the completely shaved head to a platinum buzzcut to an awkward-growing-out phase with blonde tips. I was sort of fine with all of it, honestly. I thought she looks good-to-great with a shaved head and the buzz. The awkward grow-out was always going to be, well, awkward, as it is for most women in their in-between-hairstyles phases. But this is not the answer.

These photos are of Cara yesterday in London, where she was doing a promotional event for her young-adult book, Mirror Mirror. She has a new hairstyle – a very ragged-looking pixie that she’s dyed a chocolate brown. And this is the worst. Of all her looks, this is by far the absolute worst I’ve ever seen. The shade of brown over-emphasizes her eyebrows and makes her look even more Angry-Baby-ish. The cut of the pixie is TERRIBLE with those gross little baby fringes. This sh-t looks like a cheap f–king wig. Ugh.

As for the book and her promotion… Cara has been talking a lot about mental health, her battles with depression and anxiety and more. I almost want to see her do an event with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge about mental health, because why not? They’re all talking about the same thing.

    Just no.

    • kimbers says:

      the fake tan, the brown hair, those over worked brows?

      she looks like a big walking poop

    • Handwoven says:

      Don’t you get it?
      She’s so beautiful she can do her hair like this and still constantly have people tell her how beautiful she is, and it’s not her fault, because she’s TRYING to look basic!
      Her pivot to movies has been disastrous so she needed a new tactic.

  2. Joss RED says:

    She looks like the actor who plays Harry Potter!

    • Galaxias says:

      Oh, my goodness. She does!

      Ugh, this hairstyle is so awful on her. I feel like she needs a style to soften her very strong features. All this cut does is emphasize them and make them appear all the more severe.

      • Harla says:

        I think this cut could look really cute on her with a different color, maybe a softer blonde?

    • Anners says:

      Lol! I thought she looked like Robbie Williams in that last photo

    • KidKodette says:

      @Joss So true, thanks for this! lolll 🙂

  3. GingerCrunch says:

    I love short, spiky haircuts. And she’s pretty enough to pull it off, but I think this is AWFUL. It’s the chocolate. Nope.

  4. Mari says:

    It’s not great but it’s better than the platinum blonde

  5. Allie B says:

    Literally looks like the High Sparrow got a hold of her for atonement. Awful cut.

  6. QueenB says:

    Nepotism is a hell of a drug. Model, actress, singer, writer is there anything that she acutally can do?

  7. mkyarwood says:

    She looks like Eddie Izzard. Which is compliment!

  8. Dj Jazzy Jen says:

    I feel like she should know better.

  9. CariBean says:

    She’s got amazing bone structure. I don’t think it’s the worst hairstyle, maybe just a slightly lighter color. And ease up on the eyeshadow!

    • Kitten says:

      Yeah I’m more concerned with her eyeshadow and eyebrow combo than I am with that sh*tty haircut.

  10. Beth says:

    It could be a lot worse, but it’s terrible

  11. Alison says:

    It looks very low quality box dyed – it’s dull and muddy

  12. Kate says:

    It’s not good, but she’s got such strong features it doesn’t really matter. Your eyes are drawn straight to her face despite the distracting hair.

  13. Div says:

    I’m glad Cara is openly discussing mental health and she’s one of the few who seems to realize her privilege…

    That said, she annoys me. At best, she has received mixed reviews for her performances and more often than not she has received a lot of negative reviews. None of her films have been a hit, unless we count Suicide Squad and even that didn’t make as much money as people expected. It was also a critical failure. However, she keeps getting roles and it just speaks to how Hollywood has this fetish for young, white, posh Brits. If she had a few hits under her belt despite her performances getting trashed, I could at least “sort” of understand how her success…or if she was a critical success even if her films flopped at the box office. But neither is true….Now she’s an “author” and a “singer” …RME

  14. Annika says:

    I like the haircut on her. I think it’s the color that’s the issue. And her makeup.
    Maybe strawberry blonde would be better?

  15. Becki says:

    Yeesh, the hair!! It looks SO BAD!! But I love her dress!!! It’s awesome

  16. Green Is Good says:

    How did she get famous again? Oh, yeah. Her wealthy, well connected family.

    But she does have beautiful bone structure, though.

  17. Adele Dazeem says:

    Catty comment: why on earth is this girl a super model and considered conventionally pretty? I’m so confused.

    I watched that movie on cable the other day passively, what is it, Paper Towns? She’s supposed to be the town hot girl? My husband walked by and goes “eew, who is the Meth head?’
    Lol. But seriously. I don’t see the appeal. There are so many other attractive ladies out there.

    And yes I know I’m being superficial and catty.

  18. Jess says:

    She looks just like Taryn Manning, whoa!

  19. magnoliarose says:

    It looks like a cheap jacked up wig she dug out of a bargain bin. Loads of No to unpack with this entire look.

  20. Lucy says:

    Aw I was thinking she looked beautiful? lol apparently I know nothing about style.

    • pixiewitch says:

      i love it on her as well. but she can pull off anything.

    • Shocked says:

      I think everyone else is crazy. This is the first time I’ve looked at her and thought “Hot damn, she’s adorable!” I think the color does look dull, which is unsurprising given her previous color job, but I can’t believe how strongly people are reacting to this. I think she looks amazing.

    • Shannon says:

      Same here, I actually think it’s a really cute cut for her. *shrug*

  21. L84Tea says:

    I actually jumped back from my screen when I saw the picture. Yikes…

  22. DanielleStl says:

    I like it but she is naturally photogenic so she can pull off any look.

  23. heather says:

    Just tragic.

  24. Sansa says:

    It suits her. Looks like short hair is a big thing. When I was 12 I went into the bathroom and cut my own hair to look like Mia Farrow. Did anyone else every crop their hair on a wime? I suppose everyone has that impulse at least once ( except Kate Middleton).

  25. smee says:

    not a colorist, but it’s pretty obvious that it’s the wrong shade of brown for her – she has the face for the cut

  26. mayamae says:

    When did she get the nose job? I don’t follow her, but her nose looks decidedly different in these pics.

    • Overit says:

      Yes, it used to be quite piggyish, something you really noticed, now it’s less note worthy, a subtle change but much better.

  27. Anguishedcorn says:

    Love the hair… hate the eye makeup!

  28. Margo S. says:

    She looks like my 5 year old son.

  29. Jenna says:

    I think she looks ridiculously gorgeous. As usual. She just does it for me.

  30. marc kile says:

    She looks like Tinkerbell’s evil sister who just got out on a day pass from the nuthouse
    or the grinch’s illagitimate daughter he had with a woman he met at a Burning Man festival.

  31. gwen says:

    She is such a cute little girl that she can pull that look off.

  32. Lana 234 says:

    It’s too much the hair the eyebrows the eye makeup.

  33. NoKiddingCats says:

    Nope Nope Nope and Nope. This is one of the most tragic hairstyles I’ve ever seen. It just proves nobody – not even a great beauty like Cara – can pull this off.

  34. bella says:

    I am on the wow — she looks gorgeous train. I think it’s about 70% uggs and 30% gorgeous.

  35. Windswept Hair says:

    Just let her live.

  36. blonde555 says:

    She looks like Bill Hader, full stop.
    Not a good look

  37. Overit says:

    Don’t mind it at all , she has the face to carry off a pixie cut, I like the cut but the colour looks like a very poor home dye, cheap and nasty , no shine or shading.

  38. serena says:

    Honestly, the blonde buzz cut was even worse than this. So it doesn’t really bother me, at least that colour is nice on her.
