Cara Delevingne is undoubtedly one of the fashion industry’s most sought after models with countless runway appearances and beauty campaigns plastered across her CV.

After taking a brief hiatus from the catwalk to focus on her acting career, she’s back and looks unrecognisable on her latest cover shoot.

For LOVE magazine, the 26-year-old is pictured decked in theatrical make-up with burnt orange eyeshadow and powder pink blush dusted over her cheeks.

In an unsurprising move, the model delivers serious eyebrow envy with her iconic brows heavily pencilled in.

Self defined actor, activist, musician and model, @caradelevingne never associated people with beauty growing up, but instead looked to the natural world to find what she defined as beautiful. ‘My idea of beauty as a kid was that everything was beautiful. But beauty to me was nature and animals and the sky. Everything was beautiful. I didn’t necessarily think of people as beautiful, and definitely not that I was beautiful myself.’ Cara Delevingne is our third and final #LOVE20.5 cover star, on sale now at @doverstreetmarketlondon, @doverstreetmarketlosangeles and @condenastworldwidenews. @prada Photographer @angelopennetta Creative Director and Fashion Editor @kegrand Make up @thomasdekluyver Hair @akkishirakawa Casting @itboygregk @starworksgroup Thanks to @justinefoord

A studded Prada headpiece and crisp white shirt finishes the standout newsstand aesthetic which makes up one of three magazine covers in the publication’s #MovingLove series.

Yet despite her indisputable beauty, the model admits in the interview that she struggled with self perception growing up.

“My idea of beauty as a kid was that everything was beautiful,” she said. “But beauty to me was nature and animals and the sky.”

“Everything was beautiful. I didn’t necessarily think of people as beautiful, and definitely not that I was beautiful myself.”

In reference to her own experience with body image, she added: “The first time I really felt beautiful was when someone truly said that they loved me for me.”

But she’s not the only A-lister to appear in the biannual magazine’s #MovingLove series, as David Beckham also stars on one of the covers.

From the very first time he set foot on the field, @davidbeckham knew he wanted to be a football player. ‘That’s how my career started and that is where I felt most at ease, most confident and happiest. I turned into a totally different person. Once I was on the field I knew that was what I could do best.’ While his confidence came easily on the pitch, off the pitch was a different story. David Beckham is our #LOVE20.5 cover star, a catalogue of pictures from our first moving image issue – #movingLOVE. #LOVE20.5 goes on sale tomorrow.
