Cara Delevingne just wore a pretty epic wet-look bob to the 74th Annual Parsons Benefit in New York, combining two of 2023's biggest trends. I mean, it makes sense that the bob crew would still want to get involved in the summer of wet-look Mermaidcore fun.
But she didn't stop at two, the star has cut in a spiky little feather fringe, ticking bangs off the list, too. A hat-trick of trends.
She was dressed in custom Balmain and that deep jewel tone was mirrored in her eye makeup, giving her baby blues a piercing impact. Her dark liner added a further broodiness to the slightly grunge wet look bob, but the peachy lip kept a balance of the yin and yang (aka, the grunge and the glam).
But our joy from this 'do isn't stand alone. Our favourite moment was a snap Cara shared to her story of herself and Anna Wintour flanking Balmain Creative Director Olivier Rousteing, who was being honoured that night. What can we say? He's in a bob sandwich.
