Cara Delevingne is showing her followers the real side behind the glitz and glamor of the Academy gala through a revealing and unretouched series of pictures.

The post of the diva was titled as the actress’s “gala dump” and showed a lot of pictures, one of which was that of Delevingne’s face, which at the same time captured everyone’s attention and was talked about. The followers were visually treated but a substantial part of the discussion was already on the aspects of Delevingne’s look that were easily recognized and made some fans unsure if they were really able to tell the special model known for her distinct traits apart.
One of the commenters mentioned the transformation and said “Something is off. I didn’t recognize Cara. Looking great as always though.” and this impression was repeated even in more than one language. For instance, a Spanish-speaking follower saying “No oh my god! What did she do to her face? She’s very pretty but now she’s like all the others, she used to be different!” Perhaps her altered looks did bring upon their own share of speculation, one saying “Cara got cloned maybe”.
The conversation turned to skin and beauty care and one of the fans was even daring to say “Girl listen to me. Don’t do nothing else with your face or body! You are so perfect omg! Resist those urges and funnel it into helping out at your local vfw.” This guarding tone was also observed in the expressions of another person who lamented “OMG Cara! Why did you do that to your beautiful, aggressive, unique and amazing face!!! I’m totally hetero but I was so in love of your beauty.”
And the comparisons about beauty kept coming with one commentator saying “I thought it was Lindsay Lohan at first because of her new lip filler,” thus sparking a mini-debate in the replies about whether the changes were real cosmetic surgeries or just makeup and photo-editing. One such reply argued that “It’s not a real lip filler. It’s just make up,” while another pointed out “not the lip filler- the photoshop.”
Bracelets and discussions about looks, some fans were purely thrilled by the pictures. One rosy-fingered follower said: “Here’s the post that I have really been waiting for”. Another one claimed “I can’t even express how much I missed these dumps—they’re lifesavers!” Yet another simply shouted “HERE IS THE POST I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR!” followed by heart emojis showing that Delevingne’s fans are still looking forward to her photo dumps, which are even more so, from their perspective, in spite of the glamour controversies.
Talk of Delevingne’s career was also not confined to questions regarding her looks. A fan wanted to know, “Why aren’t you in the VS shows anymore?” referring to Delevingne’s past with the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Shows, while another comment took a less positive view of her presence at the Academy gala saying, “They only take you out when they know they have messed up.”
Comments were not always negative though regarding transformation. The followers regularly gave good reviews, for instance one wrote “Stunning! When u back in NYC?” while another went on to say “You are such a beautiful woman.” The same goes for specifics in photo selection, the user saying “No.9 and No.17 best pics” while another saying “Beautiful color-gorgeous!”
Delevingne’s main market for fans appeared to be very international from what was seen in the comments, Portuguese fans saying “I’m shocked by how much we two look alike” and “I miss you here,” and Spanish comments being “You really are so beautiful” and “Literally the most beautiful woman who stepped on this earth.”
Delevingne’s call to unveil “the truth behind the glitz” clearly provoked different responses from her audience. For some people, the truth lay in scrutinizing the visible alterations in her already much-celebrated features. For others, it simply meant they were given the privilege to see a glamorous event from behind the scenes. The mixed reactions also point to the complicated bond that the rich and famous share with their fans while being under scrutiny.
