Cara Delevingne left her fans stunned after sharing a photo of herself with a strikingly realistic pregnant belly. The 32-year-old model and actress posted the image as part of her 2024 highlights on Instagram.
The snapshot showed Cara cradling the prominent bump while wearing a black bra. Nestled among other pictures of her year, including cuddling a dog, climbing a palm tree, and skiing, the photo sparked immediate confusion.
Cara captioned the post: "Too hard to choose so I went random." The mysterious belly quickly became the focus, with fans flooding the comments section with questions like: "Is she pregnant??" and "The bump?!"
The truth behind the bump

In the hit TV series, Cara transformed herself with a black wig and a convincingly realistic pregnancy belly. The show also starred Kim Kardashian and Emma Roberts, and Cara’s striking appearance in the trailer had already made waves earlier this year.
The American Horror Story role was one of Cara’s standout moments in 2024, cementing her reputation as an actress who isn’t afraid to take on challenging transformations.
