Cara Delevingne turns 24: An ode to her iconic eyebrows
What would our eyebrows look like today without Cara Delevingne? We shudder to think.
The 24-year-old birthday girl and English model-cum-actress exploded onto the fashion scene in 2011, starting off on the runway at London Fashion Week before moving on to international catwalks, the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show and eventually, the silver screen. In those five short years, Delevingne became the face of one of today's most influential beauty trends: eyebrows.
Thanks in part to Delevingne and her iconic bushy eyebrows, gone are the days of the razor-thin, over-tweezed brows of the ‘90s, sported by It Girls like Gwen Stefani and Drew Barrymore. Instead, women are filling out their brows and defining their arches in attempt to get Delevingne’s famous “power brow.”
It’s a trend that recalls Brooke Shields’ thick brows of the ‘80s — and Audrey Hepburn in the ‘60s —bold, lush statement brows with natural arches.
In honor of the model and actress’ 24th birthday, we pay tribute to Delevingne’s eternally strong eyebrow game.
