“I’m quite into fitness, and I have a fantastic personal trainer who knows me, knows my body, knows when to push me, and knows when not to push me. She doesn’t make me do 20 burpees in a row and instead focuses on strengthening my core, telling me we need to focus on making me into ‘a tall giraffe’!”
― Poppy Delevingne
“I’m more of a handbag girl; my guilty pleasure is bags. I don’t even have a clue how many I own.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“I love maxi dresses, I feel so great when I put on a maxi dress, big earrings and sandals.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“All I ever wanted was to be a sexy bride, and actually, I think I’ve turned into a romantic bride.”
― Poppy Delevingne

― Poppy Delevingne
“I’m such a bikini girl. Generally, I like to be as half-naked as I possibly can.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“One trend I always go for is nautical: stripes, navy, rope knot belts, gold buckles.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“Attack your lashes with the wand. I think there’s nothing wrong with doing that.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“We have all learned that addiction and mental illnesses are illnesses, and I think a lot of people overlook that it is a chemical imbalance; it’s like cancer, a sickness, and people need to see it as that.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“I’m actually rubbish at selfies. I always feel a bit ridiculous doing it unless I’m with a bunch of friends, where I’ll usually stand at the back with a huge grin on my face!”
― Poppy Delevingne
“I like my social media space to be somewhere very positive… I like to just be able to just share any images they see, or a piece of art or an item of clothing, and get to share that with the world.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“Having a Mary Poppins-themed birthday party when I was 5 – all my friends went in dresses, and I went as a chimney sweep. I was a real tomboy.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“It would be ridiculous for me to say I am unlucky, but, like any other family and any other girl, I’ve had my ups and downs.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“You could say I’m a bit of a nomad.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“I will never have anything that is remotely technical near my bath time. I completely zone out and stare up at the ceiling. For me, it’s like a form of meditation. It’s a time where I can just actually turn off.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“She is such a doer, Cara – she is so ambitious. She has always known what she wants, and she’s a hustler. Sometimes I call her, and I’m like, ‘You need to help me hustle,’ and she is like, ‘Come on!’”
― Poppy Delevingne
“Sometimes, fame does scare me. When people know where you are and what you’re doing, that can be frightening because I’m such a private person. So I like to try and keep things light-hearted and stay as private as possible.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“If I’m in America… I will track down the nearest Soul Cycle, wherever that is, and I’ll just power through on a bike for 45 minutes.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“Cara, ever since you told me at the age of four that you wanted to be Claudia Schiffer, while you were naked in the bath with a sponge on your head, I knew you were destined for great things.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“I love all girl squads. I’m all for, like, girl power and friendship, and I’m all about that.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“I’ve been wearing Red Roses since I was 22. Jo Malone London is woven into the fabric of my life, and I couldn’t be happier to be working with a brand I love so much.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“I’m all about a big lash. I love a good mascara. I use Tom Ford lipsticks. I think he has the most vibrant colours, especially pink or orange or vampish reds, and that’s about it.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“I never dress up too much on holiday, but I do spend money on good sandals from labels like Aquazzura.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“Look after yourself, get rest, get a facial, get a hair treatment, eat really well, work out, get a personal trainer. And that’s really the key: to take care of yourself and not burn out.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“I’m not used to going out every single night, which you can do in New York.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“My home has a split personality. Some of the rooms are very French antique. Think Aubusson rugs, turquoise ceramic jugs, sandbag pillows, and broken birdcages. The other half is very Aztec. Neon ikat fabric pillows, vintage books piled up to the ceiling, and shutters from Bali.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“I love to shut out the world sometimes and hibernate.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“I always find it difficult to dress in between seasons, but I quite like putting T-shirts on with a vest over the top and another layer so you can peel them back as the day goes on.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“I’m always late for things and always feel like I’m rushing.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“I’m normally fairly busy rushing from job to job, so have little time in the mornings for my beauty regime. However, this usually means my hair and makeup is done for me when I get there, which is great!”
― Poppy Delevingne
“A great Dermalogica facial every few weeks, and lots of sleep over the weekend are essentials. I also drink lots of water which really helps to hydrate the skin and keep it looking fresh.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“I would say I spend about an hour a day cleansing and moisturising after all of the make-up I’ve worn on jobs, and on weekends I tend to go bare-faced to give my skin a bit of a break.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“My mother is the bravest human being I’ve ever come across.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“It was only when I began modeling at 18 that I really began enjoying fashion and reading any fashion magazine I could get my hands on, and developing a profound respect for designers, fashion and how to wear it.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“I never do anything that doesn’t feel natural to me. I wake up in the morning and I know what to put on – it’s my sixth sense, really.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“Cara was six years younger. She slept in my bed for years.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“The wonderful thing about my husband is that we are very good at being independent.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“Luck is believing you’re lucky.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“I try out all the latest beauty products and participate in all the shows. It’s pretty magical.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“Scorpio Island, everyone calls it – they say if you fall in love in Ibiza, then it lasts forever.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“Choupette literally has the finest tuna, the finest of everything a cat could ever have.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“When I was about 4, my mum had a lime-green Versace jacket with massive shoulder pads, and I remember thinking, ‘Why does her head look so small? Why is she doing that to herself?’ But she loved it!”
― Poppy Delevingne
“Diversity definitely makes the best wardrobe – you want to look in and see a range so you can always dress for your mood.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“I really like the Nineties! I want to bring back more of the Nineties, like the ‘Spice Girls’, ‘Empire Records’, Chloe Sevigny. I don’t think anyone really gave it enough credit.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“Jo Sykes made these incredible leather jackets: the leather was like butter. I had one, but I lost it at a wedding in Ibiza. It was so sad; I’ve not been able to replace.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“She’s my baby sister – I could talk about her till I’m blue in the face.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“I’d rather rule the world now than be prime minister.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“When I was at school, I auditioned for the school play as Queen Gertrude, and I fell in love with it there and then.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“’The Five People You Meet in Heaven’ by Mitch Albom – I read it in eight hours and blubbed my eyes out when it finished. I’ve thought about the story every day since.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“I love working with Chanel, and long may it reign, to be honest. I hope it lasts forever.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“Wear things that make you happy because, I think, that really shines through. If you feel uncomfortable in something, then I don’t think it ever really works.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“I love high-street fashion. I’m all about Topshop and Zara – even American Apparel. I love T-shirts and vests – simple things you can just live in. American Apparel also does the best bras – they’re amazing.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“My style is a little more thought out, in a way, but I guess it’s eclectic at the same time. I wouldn’t be able to describe my style, because it changes on a day-to-day basis, depending on what sort of mood I’m in.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“I’m all about people that appreciate, that are grateful, that smile, that have a sense of humour – the dirtier the laugh, the better- that’s my kind of vibe… and I hope that’s the kind of thing that I attract.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“I feel – as I’m edging to my thirties, I feel like a stronger person and a more confident person.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“Both my grandmother and mother used to wear the Red Roses cologne, and when I was 21 or 22, I smelled the same scent on a friend of mine.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“Pubs would be number one. And black cabs and cabbies – moody cabbies always crack me up. And the other thing I love is the parks: the parks around London don’t get enough airtime – I think they’re sensational, and when spring hits, the first thing I’ll do is go to the park.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“I’m a real bath addict. I could sit in a bath and soak for days on end, and you’ll never see me again. It’s my easiest, nicest thing. So if you’re giving me something extra to do, an extra step to make bathtime last longer, then I’ll do it.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“The smell of cigars reminds me of someone I used to know, and it just always brings me back. I love it; I find something very comforting about it.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“Having hibernation weekends where I just sleep for hours on end. Working out when you have those spare moments. All of that is very important.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“I have a lot of energy. Energy’s a very huge thing in our family. None of us need caffeine; we’re just high-energy people.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“When I’m in the U.K., I have a personal trainer who is wonderful, and she’s hard-core and makes sure I get up in the morning and go.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“I absolutely love Sisley moisturising cream, which I use every morning; it also provides a great base for make-up, and I adore Laura Mercier tinted moisturiser for an overall finish.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“I love anything by Sisley for face and Lancaster for body.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“I always have an item in mind that I want to wear; then, the next day, I put it on, and I love the 20-minute rush of frantically tearing clothes out of my wardrobe to go with it. And I honestly feel that’s the best way to do it; there’s no method to my fashion madness so to speak.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“I don’t have a set way of dressing or a uniform, though I kind of wish I did. But then again, I also love that I can be any sort of character I want – that’s a little bit of the actress coming out of me.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“I love the characters you can build upon when you wear different things. You know, sometimes, I’ll want to be girly and wear tulle on a Tuesday, and sometimes I wanna be like Kim Kardashian and wear black leather head-to-toe.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“When you grow up, you think everything you own is going to be designer. Not true. Most of the stuff I own is high-street. I love mixing it up; it’s so beautifully made nowadays, and the quality is of such a high standard, and let’s be honest: everybody loves a bargain.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“Coconut oil. I rub it through my hair, all over my skin, all over my body. Natural’s the better way to go.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“I think the first outfit that really kick-started my relationship with Chanel means a lot to me: it was a black, sort of Studio 54-inspired jumpsuit with gold stars all over it, and I wore that, and that’s how my relationship with Chanel began, so, you know, it has sentimental value.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“I eat meat, dairy, and tons of fruits and vegetables, but I could also have pasta for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Basically, I’m a massive foodie who eats everything in moderation.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“When traveling, I like Urth Caffe in L.A. for eggs Benedict with prosciutto or Balthazar in New York, where I order duck shepherd’s pie.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“I’m lucky to have a fast metabolism, so I haven’t had to exercise much.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“I shampoo and condition with Kerastase products but rarely brush it because I’m all about the Kate Moss bed-head look.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“A little bit of sun does wonders! With good protection, of course. Vitamin D is just so good for your hair and your nails. I also love coconut water and coconut oil from Whole Foods. It’s amazing. You can cook with it, shower with it… you come out of the shower like a slippery seal, but it works.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“I’m pretty adventurous – the more wacky, the better! Sometimes I’ll want to look chic, but lots of the time, I’ll wear really mad colours and patterns, as it’s just more fun.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“I’m a bit of a bed head: I’m always running around with no make-up on and my hair in a mess, but my nails are one thing I do love to keep looking nice, so it’s rare to see me without it.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“I love make-up so much, but I’m a bit rubbish at skincare; I’m really disloyal and never stick to one thing.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“When I was a teenager, I was obsessed with black eyeliner all around the eye, but for someone with my kind of skin tone and hair colour, using brown is actually better than black. I’ve also learnt from makeup artists how to apply lipstick in the correct way: by starting with the Cupid’s bow first and working your way around.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“I’ve worked with Nails Inc. for years, and it’s been a joy. I love their products. I have two baskets of Nails Inc. polishes upside down to read the names, colour coded.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“This is going to make me sound really weird and stalkery, but I’ve bought the aftershaves of all my ex-boyfriends. Sometimes I like to smell them and be like ‘aah, that’s Charlie… aah that’s Dan’.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“Cara’s always been a real tomboy. She was never really that into makeup. She’s very quick at it.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“My first fragrance as a kid was Tommy Girl. It was amazing. Wasn’t it the thing to wear? And then I remember I stopped wearing it because it was literally like the whole classroom was filled with Tommy Girl.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“For me, I’ve always found people who stand up and spritz themselves all over their clothes very odd. I’m a big bath addict, and I get up in the morning, and I have a big bath. But when I get out, and I’m still hot but fresh out of the bath, that’s when I apply scent. I just have it on my bare skin; I never apply it to my clothes.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“I’m obsessed with Jo Malone oils. I think they’re so beautiful; they’re exquisite. But it’s not just the oils; I’m obsessed with their packaging. The beautiful glass bottles that you keep on the side of the bath – they’re almost iconic.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“I wash my face with Creme de la Mer cleansing foam. I love Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream – it’s got SPF15 in it, which I love – and then I’ll use a little eye cream by Sisley, which I’m obsessed with. That’s what I generally use every day.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“Sometimes when I need something really nourishing, I’ll use the Creme de la Mer night cream – it leaves my skin looking beautiful. I don’t go too far on my make-up because I have to wear it so often for work, so I’m quite low key.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“I’ve always worn Superdry. It’s a British brand, of course, and it’s my go-to festival brand.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“My grandmother used to really love fashion, and she always had Chanel No. 5 on her dressing table, and Chanel bags. That’s when I really started falling in love with the brand and fashion in general.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“Once, I tried to channel my inner Pocahontas and wore a lot of Navajo prints, a lot of beige, fringe, and suede… I wish I hadn’t done that.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“One of my favourite scents in the world is the ‘Brown’ candle from Hotel Costes in Paris. It smells like naughty nights in corners of clubs.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“Two of my favourite products for a quick-fix are lipstick and mascara. I think with lipstick, brighter is better.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“Big Anya bag – perfect for stuffing papers in for the plane; Ray Bans – in any shape, I’m hooked!”
― Poppy Delevingne
“Mango has always been on my radar of good high street brands, but its quality sets it apart for me.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“I’m a healthy eater. In the morning, I’ll have hot water and lemon, then scrambled eggs. I eat spelt or rye bread, not wheat, and have lots of veg and salad.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“I’m bonkers about juicing. I got into it when I lived in L.A. – I’d juice three times a day.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“I love novelty workout pants. It means my workout kit is really bright and vibrant and out there.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“I always wear Nike trainers and love a hoodie. I have a big black and gold one from Adidas that I’m obsessed with.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“Topshop is the best. I don’t know how I’d live without it. Most of my clothes are from there.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“I only travel with one suitcase – Mulberry does an incredible one. I always check it; the TSA restrictions are so tricky.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“As soon as I get on the plane, I go straight to the bathroom and give myself a little minifacial. MV Organic Skincare does a rose oil spray that is absolutely gorgeous and amazing.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“When it comes to work, I’m not competitive at all. Having Cara as my baby, I had to learn quite quickly that I couldn’t be competitive because I had a sister who meant more to me. And I knew she was going to be brilliant, so I had to become very aware of not comparing.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“I don’t understand women who don’t encourage each other. I think compliments and showing affection are really important, too. Women don’t do that enough, and it’s so essential because even if you’re shy about giving a compliment, it’s good energy; it’s uplifting.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“The best holiday I went on as a kid was to Disney World. I wore the same Minnie Mouse dress for 5 days straight and refused to go on any rides apart from It’s A Small World. I think my parents wanted to kill me.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“I always pack lots of loose linen shirts and denim cut offs, Converse, vintage Reformation sun dresses, gold jewellery, and statement shades. Plus a trunk full of swimwear, of course.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“The whole working-in-an-office thing was a dream for me – I never get to do it! I’m secretly very organised and obsessed with stationery, especially staplers and post-its, which I know is a little weird.”
― Poppy Delevingne
“MRP offer a fun retail experience, and that’s the way the Aussies are. They are so fashionable and on-trend.”
― Poppy Delevingne
