11 Life Lessons We Can All Learn From Cara Delevigne

Cara Delevingne is an inspiration to us all, especially girls. She's not afraid to be herself with all her weird and wonderful quirks, and we don't think you should be either! We've shared with you what life lessons we've learnt from Cara over the years.

Friends are incredibly important

Not all of us are besties with the Victoria Secret Angels, but Cara is always out and about with her mates. Even though she could have any man she wanted, hanging out with the girls is always top of Cara's list. Make sure you never loose contact with your best friends. There will come a time when you'll be at different stages in your life, so make the most of the time you have with them while you can.

It's ok to look and act silly

Cara is the queen of silly faces. Don't take yourself too seriously and just be yourself. Trying to be anyone else is a waste of time and if people don't like your style, they're not worth your time.

Being different is good

If we were all the same, then the world would be a very boring place. So embrace those quirks of yours!!

Do what you want, say what you want

Nothing is more attractive in a girl than her knowing what she wants and how to get it. So go on and take a leaf out of Cara's book, and don't take no shit from anyone.

Being funny is the best

The best characteristic for a girl to have is humour. So if you don't feel that funny, hang around with funny people and they might rub off on you.

Stand up for yourself

Do what you think is right and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. (See Cara's Instagram for more details)

Love whoever you want

The great thing about Cara is that she love's everyone, and everyone loves her! No matter if you're straight, Bi-sexual or gay, Cara's been there. And why not?! Love whomever you feel comfortable with, and they will love you back.

Eating is fun

Who doesn't love a good burger? There's too much pressure for girls to be skinny these days. Yes it's good to watch your weight in moderation, but a burger (or two) never killed nobody.

Here's some helpful advice from Cara's Instagram feed:

Don't take yourself too seriously

As teens, we all have to grow up at some point, but whatever age you are, you're never too old for a giggle. So if you feel yourself becoming a stress ball, shake it off as Miss Taylor Swift would say.

Never forget your family

We all have fights and hate our parents at some point when we're growing up, but never forget where you came from. Cara sought a huge amount of inspiration from her Granny, and you'd be amazed how funny your family can be when you chat to them more.
