Cara Delevingne added another string to her bow when she made her stage debut as Sally Bowles in London’s famous West End Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club in the Playhouse Theatre.
Taking to the stage for her first show on Monday night, the actress and model looked right at home as she threw herself into the role.
Playing Sally Bowles – made famous by Liza Minnelli in the 1972 film version – Cara follows in the footsteps of Oscar nominee Jessie Buckley, who previously played the role.
The star, 31, appears alongside Olivier Award-winning Luke Treadaway – who stars as The Emcee in the iconic play.
Dressed in a white silk petticoat, the star looked a world away from her usual striking catwalk ensembles.
