Here's What Inspired Jen Atkin for Cara Delevingne's Killer Hairstyles

Following the reveal of Cara Delevingne’s chopped locks come the killer ‘dos of her Suicide Squad press tour. The actress and model has had quite the week of amazing hairstyles for her locks as she stepped out in New York City for multiple appearances, and Jen Atkin is behind them all. The celebrity hairstylist has been documenting her work with Delevingne on Snapchat and posting the final looks on Instagram, and she spoke to Yahoo Beauty about her inspirations. “Cara is so fun to work with because she can literally pull off ANY look,” Atkin said. “I worked closely with Rob Zangardi, Mariel Haenn, and Romy Solemani to collaborate on Cara’s looks this week.”

It all kicked off with a sculpture of bobby pins on Jimmy Kimmel Live, giving Delevingne a sleek look at the start of her very good hair week:

Next up, Delevingne stepped out of a hotel in NYC for a press event rocking two high buns. While people were quick to call them “raver buns,” Atkin took to Instagram to clarify her inspo, noting that they were “messy ’90s buns.” And as she told Yahoo Beauty, “For the 29th I was inspired by ’90s space buns (as seen on Mane Addicts) and the girls on the streets in Harajuku.”

Atkin then showed off the Dutch braids she did for Delevingne on Instagram, and raved to us about how the actresses’s outfit and makeup gave rise to the stunning look.

“I was inspired by her amazing Zuhair Murad look on the 30th and thought that braids would go well with the lip color Romy chose,” she said. “It felt cool, confident, and strong.”

For this high pony, Atkin said, “I was inspired by the ’60s mod era,” adding that she “softened it up by adding a Chloe and Isabel fan hair pin.” The ponytail, if you’ll remember, came just a few days after the ’90s inspired buns, displaying her tendency to find excitement in earlier decades.

To wit: Delevingne’s Aug. 1 appearance on Good Morning America called for some pulled back hair with an added twist, as the gorgeous look featured an ’80s sort of “business in the front, party in the back” feel, which compliments the one-of-a-kind actress.

Then we got a dose of old-school glam:

Delevingne finished her week of NYC press off strong with this jaw-dropping look that consisted of strong makeup and soft waves. “For the premiere, Romy and I loved old Helmut Newton pictures, and loved the idea of having a hint of old-school glam with her Anthony Vaccarello dress,” Atkin shared. “I finished the look by adding two Jen Atkin x Chloe + Isabel bobbi pins in silver.”
