32 year-old queer model, actress, and lesbian bodyguard Cara Delevingne was in attendance at the premiere of the documentary Ocean with David Attenborough in London. On the red carpet, she sported a little number that got instant attention from her queer fanbase.

Delevingne’s look was defined by her 1920s Egyptian mesh gown with a striped neckline from Annie’s Ibiza, according to the designers who make and sell the dress. The fabric was made in Cairo, Egypt, during the 1920s, a product of cotton interwoven with thin metal wires in silver to create intricate geometric patterns.
Because the dress is entirely see-through, Delevingne wore a black lace thong underneath and a black blazer over the gown with matching peep-toe heels and a bird pendant.
On social media, sapphics were quick to start fawning over her and flooded her replies with heart emojis while declaring that she “ate” with this outfit.
While this trend of celebrities attending premieres and red carpet events in see-through gowns isn’t new—Kate Moss and Rose McGowan being earlier examples—Delevingne’s gender-bending addition of a black blazer was a subtle but nice change that taps into her queer influence.
A little something to balance out the male gaze and give sapphics more to talk about? We’ll take it.
