Chanel Couture

Cara Delevingne played the leading role on Chanel's Haute Couture catwalk today, opening and closing the Spring/Summer 2014 show in Paris.

From opening proceedings in stacked Chanel trainers, which she previewed on her Instagram during rehearsals, Cara was given a prestigious position in Karl Lagerfeld's traditional bride finale.

With a little help from the creative director's godson, Cara strutted down the runway in an enchanting sheer gown. Moving away from the traditional full frocks, the show-stopping dress was crafted with a slimline silhouette.

The British super also joined the French fashion designer during his finale walk, confirming her spot as this season's leading lady. As if there was ever any doubt. 

Elsewhere in the collection, Karl presented glistening whites, metallic textures, feminine frills and a delicious palette of pastel hues.  

Models were also dressed with statement headpieces and glitter make-up, teamed, in Cara's case, with a strong brow.
