She may be pegged as the “anti-role model,” but 20-year-old Delevingne is not an unpredictable cover choice for W. With her unique look and signature eyebrows, and dressed in a diamond-studded crop top, she discusses her heroin-addicted mother and how she once had to spend the night on a yacht in Cannes because she was too drunk to get home to her hotel (the horrors). She also talks about turning to Rihanna for help in times of despair, who tells her “if you’re alone and you want to cry, cry.” And the final rebel yell? There’s a topless pic of Cara inside, with one nipple peeking out. At least she’s not boring. We’re also quite impartial to her Japanese Vogue cover, also out this month, where she appears as a futuristic Audrey Hepburn.
