Cara Delevingne’s Couture Crisis: How She Avoided a Gala Disaster

Cara Delevingne faced a glamorous wardrobe emergency just before hitting the red carpet.

Couture Catastrophe Averted

At the 2025 Academy Museum Gala on October 18, British model and actress Cara Delevingne turned heads in her stunning Tamara Ralph Couture gown. However, the dazzling appearance almost didn’t happen, as revealed by a candid Instagram post on October 23.

Showcasing a behind-the-scenes video, Delevingne’s stylist, John Mumblo, is seen fixing a significant tear in the gown near her hip.

The short clip included a moment where Delevingne stood barefoot on the street, waiting for her toenail polish to dry. Her caption humorously stated, \\”Gala dump! Scroll through to reveal the truth behind the glitz and glamour,\\” alongside glamorous red carpet images.

Hollywood Connections

Despite the sartorial scare, professional photos showed the mended dress as Delevingne mingled effortlessly at the gala with celebrities like Jenna Ortega, Mikey Madison, Joey King, and Kaia Gerber, as well as Tessa Thompson, Rachel Senott, and Charli XCX.

Fashion Adventures

Recently, the face of L’Oréal Paris has been making waves globally. In May, Delevingne had a whirlwind fashion experience at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, commenting humorously in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE about its new dress code.

\\”I did hear about [the new dress code], but I don’t even think I understand it,\\” she joked, referencing the event’s rules against \\”voluminous outfits\\” and \\”nudity.\\”

Earlier at the Golden Globes, Delevingne shared a delightful fashion faux pas with Anya Taylor-Joy. They inadvertently channeled Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow’s iconic looks from Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion. \\”It was a lucky mistake,\\” she shared with Variety.
