Cara Delevingne has left fans amazed with her Halloween transformation, recreating John Travolta’s memorable Cannes look in a series of striking photographs.
The model channelled the Hollywood star in a smart black suit and the distinctive white beret he wore at the Cannes Film Festival in May.
Cara unveiled the costume in a series of Instagram images, including a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the process behind her transformation.
Adding a cheeky caption, she wrote: ‘I hate gay Halloween… what do you mean you are John Travolta at Cannes!’
Several celebrities reacted to Cara’s unexpected makeover. Actress Renee Rapp commented: ‘I’m still laughing,’ while Rachel Zegler wrote: ‘CARA AHAHAHAH.’
John had already caused a social media sensation after wearing three different berets during his appearance at the Cannes Film Festival.

The cinema legend later explained to CNN why the stylish headwear played such an important role in his directorial debut.
‘The old school directors wore berets and the glasses. And I thought, that’s what I’m doing,’ he said, referring to his first time behind the camera directing Propeller One-Way Night Coach.
Travolta added that the memorable outfit would help him distinguish the occasion when looking back on it in years to come. ‘I’ve been around for over 50 years doing movies, but I can’t tell, when I look back, the difference between the events.’
‘And I said, “I’m a director this time. You’re an actor, play the part of a director. Look like an old school director,”‘ he continued, explaining that he had ‘looked up pictures’ of famous filmmakers from earlier generations.
‘I’m gonna do an homage to being a director,’ he said of his instantly recognisable red-carpet appearance.
‘So I’m gonna play the part of being a director and then when I look back, I’ll know, “Oh, that was Propeller One-Way Night Coach, that was Cannes, that was when I won the Palme d’Or.” And I will have vividness of it.’
Although Travolta did not identify the filmmaker who inspired him, he may have been paying tribute to The Godfather director Francis Ford Coppola, who is known for wearing berets.
The legendary Swedish director Ingmar Bergman was another celebrated filmmaker who often favoured the distinctive headwear.

Travolta’s beret run began on his journey to the festival, when he wore a navy version of the hat while flying his own plane to Cannes with his daughter, Ella Bleu.
‘Big day, big night in Cannes. Stay tuned!’ he captioned an Instagram video documenting the trip.
Later on Friday and again on Saturday, the actor drew attention as he appeared in two more versions of the eye-catching ensemble.
Travolta was later seen in tears as he received an honorary Palme d’Or ahead of the world premiere of his directorial debut.
