Seriously: who is she? The model hit the Croisette for the premiere of The History of Sound.

Cara Delevingne has arrived at Cannes Film Festival sporting a hair transformation that has rendered her legitimately unrecognizable. Stepping out for the premiere of The History of Sound, the model, who typically wears her hair dirty blonde, made a serious statement in jet black hair with blunt baby bangs. Her strands were styled to mimic the texture of wet hair, and her eyebrows were also dyed black.

Delevingne paired her brand-new beauty look with a rather demure burgundy ballgown, which featured a fitted bodice and a full, floor-length skirt. Keeping with the festival’s new rules, written in the name of “decency,” the dress was not see-through, had no dramatic train, and was not overly voluminous.

The 32-year-old It girl is no stranger to hair transformations, of course. Last fall, she debuted a new set of micro-bangs at the LACMA Art+Film Gala which were noticeably Audrey Hepburn-coded. Just two weeks ago, meanwhile, she stepped out in London sans bangs in a plunging see-through dress whose neckline went all the way down to her stomach.

As for the rest of the Cannes red carpet? So far, the festival has borne witness to the triumphant return of Angelina Jolie, a blonde transformation courtesy of Bella Hadid, and pink hair from Chanel’s resident rule-breaker Kristen Stewart. Hollywood veteran Andie MacDowell also pulled off a dramatic metamorphosis, hitting the Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning red carpet with a  super sleek updo featuring straight side bangs.
