Here are some photos of Cara Delevingne at the Burberry London-in-LA event last Thursday. The event was pretty well attended, but I didn’t cover those photos because they were sort of snooze. Even Cara looked sort of boringly presentable. That’s her new thing – after more than a year of looking like an utter mess in public, Cara has been stepping out more and more looking pulled-together. Are her crazy, party days over? I doubt it. But I do think her new girlfriend, St. Vincent, is a better influence on her. St. Vincent was at this Burberry event too – go here to see a photo.

But! I have my doubts that Cara can stay on the straight-and-narrow path for any extended length of time. I really do think she’s a mess when it comes to drugs and alcohol, and her attempt to transition into movie stardom isn’t going to help matters. I mean, it’s not like the Hollywood types are saints and it’s only the evil fashion industry that encourages self-destructive behavior, right? If anything, I think if Cara continues to get work in Hollywood, the partying will get even worse. Which makes this story from Star Magazine sort of interesting:

British supermodel Cara Delevingne is trying to step off the catwalk and onto the big screen, but her habit of waking up next to a bottle could put her acting career in jeopardy.

“She sometimes drinks tequila as soon as she gets up and uses the excuse that she’s jet-lagged,” a friend tells Star. “Cara blames her crazy schedule for her love of alcohol – it’s really becoming a problem.”

But she’s in for a rude awakening, now that she’s settled in Toronto to film her first big franchise film, ‘Suicide Squad’ with Will Smith and Jared Leto.

“She won’t be able to use the time zones to justify her tequila-infused antics,” the source explains. “Shoots start early in the morning, and since she’s in the big leagues, she has to clean up her act or risk being labeled unreliable.”

Drinking tequila as soon as she wakes up? I believe it. I believe she probably does a lot more to get through the day too. This sort of story reminds me of what I believe is a very telling incident from Cara’s not-so-distant past (it was last summer). She met a Vogue reporter for a profile, then she fell asleep before the interview even took place, and when Vogue called her out for sleeping through her press obligations (after partying her ass off the night before), Cara threw a hissy fit and claimed Vogue was “lying” and she being punished for being “ambitious.” She’s a party girl that freaks out when anyone calls her out, so yeah… this won’t end well.
