At the Billboard Women in Music awards in April 2026, Cara Delevingne posed with BINI in tailored tuxedo shorts – and one unexpected detail shifts the mood.
Barefoot in a tux. That’s the hook.
At the Billboard Women in Music awards in Hollywood this April 2026, Cara Delevingne stepped into the frame beside BINI wearing a reworked tuxedo – sharply tailored on top, cut into shorts below. The jacket reads classic at first glance: structured shoulders, clean lapels, a crisp white shirt underneath, and a narrow black tie pulled tight. But then your eye drops to the hemline. Cropped, tailored, unapologetically leg-forward.
The construction is what makes it hold together. The jacket sits boxy and precise through the shoulders, while the shorts fall straight without clinging, creating a long vertical line that keeps the look from tipping into novelty. There’s no extra ornament, no flash of jewelry fighting for attention – just that controlled black-and-white contrast and the clean break at mid-thigh.
And then there are the bare feet.
Standing on draped fabric with no shoes at all, she strips the tux of its usual red carpet formality and replaces it with something almost intimate. It could’ve been patent heels. It wasn’t. That decision changes the entire temperature of the outfit, making the tailoring feel less corporate and more fashion-portrait sharp.
In this group shot with BINI – who wore coordinated earth-toned, midriff-baring looks – Cara Delevingne at Billboard Women in Music becomes the visual anchor in deep black, the only one in full suiting, the only one in stark monochrome.
It’s a reminder that tailoring doesn’t need embellishment to register; sometimes it just needs one rule quietly broken.
Would you have added heels to finish it, or kept the barefoot tension?
The absence of shoes is the entire point.
