At the age of 23, Cara Delevingne has almost 30 million Instagram followers. Why? “Unlike your typical model posts, hers are consistently goofy—she is not offering glimpses of the glamorous life,” writes W magazine editor at large Lynn Hirschberg in her profile of the cover star. “Instead, Delevingne is interested in using social media as a direct and honest connection to her public.” She’s a master of memes, “bog eyes,” and has friends in high places like Kendall Jenner — they go by “CaKe.”

It’s no surprise that she and Kendall Jenner bonded. So much so that they have their own nickname: CaKe.
