She may be young, but Cara can be our anti-ageing guinea pig
Cara Delevingne has just become the new face of Dior’s anti-wrinkle cream. Of course she has – she’s 25, for heaven’s sake!
That’s verging on Dorian Gray in model years, although she looks pretty good on it. Her coltish beauty seems to increase with every oversized knitted Tam o’ Shanter she wears.
Of course, there have been murmurs of disapproval that some more – how to put it gently? – venerable names ought to have got the gig.
But Julianne Moore’s diary is chokka, Susan Sarandon, 69, is tied to L’oréal, and Dame Helen Mirren, 72, will advertise its Age Perfect cream for all eternity.
So Cara it is. Maybe she’s a bit of a stripling now, but she is like a living, breathing, partying guinea pig. In 25 years, we will discover once and for all whether the pricey Dior elixir really does work.
