Cara Delevingne is not “Bloated”

After a British newspaper claimed that Cara Delevingne was too “bloated” to be a part of the Victoria Secret show in 2014, she spoke out. She was not bloated at all, in fact, she was just too busy to attend the show.

Delevingne went after the tabloid in a post on Instagram, where she shared a picture that was sent to her by the executive producer Edward Razek of the Victoria’s Secret's fashion show. The picture was captioned with the comment - “It’s shameless to discuss women’s bodies just to sell papers.”

The letter from Victoria Secret stated that everything the tabloid, The Sun, said was a complete fabrication. In fact, Cara Delevingne was the first model to be invited to take part in the show. The only reason that Delevingne was unable to attend the show in London was due to scheduling conflict, as she was shooting a film in North Carolina.

The feminine name Cara is taken from an Italian word that means “beloved”. While in the Irish language, the name means “friend”. The name has been used since the 19th century as a given name. Even though it did not become common until way after the 1950s.

There are many notable people with the name, from Cara Black the professional tennis player to Cara Buono the American actress, or Cara Hoffman the New York city based novelist and journalist. Now the list will include the English fashion model and actress Cara Delevingne.
