Cara Delevingne brings her own camera to Vogue World as the British model arrives early at the Drury Lane venue ahead of Britain’s answer to the Met Gala

Cara Delevingne was the first high-profile guest to arrive at London’s Theater Royal Drury Lane ahead of Vogue World – Britain’s answer to the iconic Met Gala.

The British model and actress was more accustomed to having her picture taken and carried her own camera as she walked in ahead of preparations for the upcoming show.

Opting for a cropped varsity jacket and relaxed pinstripe trousers, Cara, 31, looked relaxed, ahead of what you might expect to be a more glamorous appearance on the red carpet when the event kicks off.

She completed her look with a white woolen hat, while heavily tinted sunglasses seemed to be her only statement accessory on a bright, sunny day in the English capital.

Thursday’s event will serve as a fundraiser for the British performing arts industry, with Vogue’s editor-in-chief Anna Wintour overseeing the proceedings.

The first Vogue World event featured a fashion show and street fair when it took place in New York’s meatpacking district in 2021, but the London ceremony is expected to be a grander affair.

It’s understood Thursday’s dress code will be Opening Night, with the invite revealing a West End stage adorned with blood-red velvet curtains.

Wintour previously claimed the performing arts industry is ‘under threat’, meaning all proceeds from ticket sales will go to a range of theater companies including the National Theatre, the Royal Opera House and the Royal Ballet.
