Cara Delevingne hits back at criticism after shaving her head for film role
The model turned actress had admitted she’s ‘exhausted’ of being told ‘what beauty should look like’
CARA Delevingne has hit back at criticism after she shaved her head for her latest film venture Life In A Year.
Since cutting off her long hair for the movie, in which she plays a woman with terminal cancer, Cara has been inundated with comments online about the way she looks.
Now she’s taken a stand and admitted she’s had enough of being judged for the way she looks.
Posting a picture of herself with her shaved head on Instagram, Cara told her 39 million followers: “It’s exhausting to be told what beauty should look like.
“I am tired of society defining beauty for us. Strip away the clothes, Wipe Off the make up, cut off the hair.
“Remove all the material possessions. Who are we? How are we defining beauty? What do we see as beautiful?”
The 24-year-old was inundated with messages of support from her fans after her post went live on Wednesday.
One commented: “You are an inspiration.”
Another wrote next to her picture: “You are incredible”.

Life in a Year is due for release next year and stars Cara along with Jaden Smith.
It will tell the story of a 17-year-old who discovers his girlfriend has been diagnosed with a terminal
illness and has only one year left to survive.

Knowing the chop was coming up for the role, Cara previously explained to US Today that she was playing with her hair before she had to say goodbye to it.
She said: “I have to shave my head for my next part, so I have to do something different.
“So I dyed it. Just for fun. Just to change it up.”
