Made In England: Cara Delevingne Gets Another Tattoo On The Sole Of Her Foot

Posted on January 22, 2014 at 12:13 pm

It looks like Cara Delevingne has caught the body art bug. Not content with getting two inkings in recent months, the model du jour has added another tattoo to her collection.

Cara took to her Instagram account (where else) to showcase the new addition that reads ‘Made In England’. It’s a simple branding discreetly stamped on the bottom of her left foot to insure her high-fashion bosses like Burberry and DKNY won’t be fussed.

The 20-year-old had previously spoken about wanting to get the design after she got a lion’s head etched on her finger back in May followed by her initals on her hand a week later. Yep, that’s three tattoos in the space of three months!

Along with the snap, Cara wrote, ‘Made in England! Finally… @bangbang.’ And as you know, Bang Bang is Rihanna’s favourite tattooist who has etched the singer’s array of inkings as well as working on Adele and Katy Perry. Now that Cara and Ri-Ri are BFFs, the catwalker has joined the club with Bang Bang doing all three of her inkings.

The fun-loving pair were lapping up the summer sun in Monte Carlo this week, lounging on a luxury yacht together before Rihanna hit the Wireless Festival to perform with Jay-Z on Sunday. Cara has said she wants ‘loads’ more tattoos ‘all over her body’ so watch this space. Or at least her Instagram feed.

Inside Beyonce’s Beachy Family Holiday With Solange Knowles, Blue Ivy And Jay-Z

Posted on January 20, 2014 at 11:49 am

Reason No.7950 why we love Beyonce: she may have a crazy work ethic, but she knows when it’s time to switch off. While in the midst of her Mrs Carter Show World Tour, which is currently winding it’s way through the US states of Florida and Georgia, the ‘Bow Down’ singer took a couple of days out at the beach with her loved ones and by the looks of the photos that she shared on her I Am Beyonce tumblr, the family had a very relaxing holiday.

Shedding her tour costumes and makeup, an au naturel Beyonce embraced beachy waves, printed swimwear and this summer’s must-have floral headband as she sat by the pool and soaked up the sunshine with her mum Tina Knowles, sister Solange, nephew Daniel Julez Smith, Jr. (Solange’s son) and her own daughter Blue Ivy. Earlier pics feature Bey and her hubby Jay-Z driving in a vintage automobile, which would suggest he was also present.

While heat rash, sunburn, frizzy tresses are among the many issues we contend with on vacay, Beyonce is radiant and picture perfect, even without her glam squad on hand. The family divided their time between sun loungers, the pool and a boat which they took turns to dive off the side of and little Daniel, who is already showing signs of possessing his mum’s style skills, played football as Beyonce and her mini me Blue Ivy remained joined at the hip.

Here’s the holiday tips we picked up from the Knowles-Carter family vacation:

  1. Don’t forget your reading materials: Everyone loves a last minute airport dash in WHSmith and it looks like Solange and Beyonce came well prepared with stacks of magazines and books – but no Grazia. Error!
  2. One bather won’t do: Mrs Carter currently favours a one-piece, but she certainly packed more than one. Her swimwear wardrobe rivals only Rihanna’s, but glamour mama Beyonce’s selection is certainly less risqué.
  3. Make a splash: Whether it’s the pool or the sea, the Knowles-Carter clan are not afraid of getting their hair wet – even little Blue Ivy was keen to get involved.
