Cara Delevingne marked a trip to London s Heathrow airport with her signature crop grown out in a bold new phase, featuring the spiky, rebellious texture of a Sex Pistols-era John Lydon merged with the platinum hair and dark roots of the 70s punk rock movement. It s a high-contrast hair trend that has been recently reinvigorated by Kristen Stewart, but in Delevingne s hands, it took on a subversively British subtext.
The model-turned-actress wore the graphic style brushed forward, blanched ends framing her forehead in what appeared to be the natural next step along her chameleonic slow-growth trajectory, which has been marked by hair embellishments, metallic paint, and even a wash of pale pink pigment of late.
As Delevingne s crop continues to inch out, the opportunities for more head-turning hair transformations will no doubt increase exponentially, but hazarding a guess at her forthcoming styling strategies may be futile. After all, if there s anything her fans have learned anything from this particular experiment in growth, it s that Delevingne s best accessory is the element of surprise.
