Where do we even begin with this look? Teal, lime, copper, fuchsia, red, black; there are at least six colours involved. Am I talking about a maximalist outfit? No. I'm talking about Cara Delevingne's hair on Thursday night.
Honestly, the more you look the more you see, and that's a lot as you won't be able to look away. Throwing out every rule book, this style has stripes, patches, and even leopard print on what is either a shaven or faux-shaven scalp.
There are grown-out curtain bangs, there are long mullet tendrils around the back hairline, but most striking of all are the Mohican-like spikes standing straight up in the air in a shade of lime green that makes it impossible not to compare her to a cockatoo. I'm here for it.
Just look at it from the back, this really is a spectacular spectacular. An honourable mention must also go to Adwoa Aboah's braid loops, certainly less out there but also a visual statement.
The gals were part of the sea of A-listers at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane in London for Vogue World last night, celebrating British theatre and fashion, and our favourite photo of the night may just be this one of Cara with Emily Ratajkowski.
It's very much giving a 'when you and your friend don't discuss what you're wearing' meme.
Everyone's clicking on...
This could be better than the Bieber's viral glam Vs. slouch meme.
