When taking style risks, it's always helpful to be an actual model, but there's no denying Cara Delevingne's paid off at today's royal wedding. The Brit actress arrived to Princess Eugenie's wedding at St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle in a full top and tails ensemble.

Her well-tailored black tuxedo suit comes complete with a cropped jacket with tails and ankle-length, waist-cinching trousers, layered over a simple white button-down. But it's the accessories that really nail it. Delevingne layered a black silk cummerbund over her suit and finished the look with a silver single-knot tie and classic black pumps for a little feminine flair. Ever the thespian, she brings the drama to the look, topping it off with an actual top hat, with a match in the corner of her mouth.

While hats are de rigueur at royal weddings, most women opt for frilly fascinators with veils, embroidery and appliques. Delevingne's borrowed-from-the-boys approach is refreshing and decidedly high-fashion, channeling the Old Hollywood glamour of Marlene Dietrich.

Delevingne and Princess Eugenie reportedly became friends via London's social circles. According to the Daily Mail, Delevingne attended Eugenie's 25th birthday party in June 2015. Later that year, the two were photographed leaving a Fashion Week party at club LouLous, a private members club in Mayfair, according to Bustle.

The London-born model is rumored to be dating actress Ashley Benson, but the two did not attend today's nuptials together. Instead, from photos, it appears that former Harper's BAZAAR editor at large Derek Blasberg served as her date for the wedding.
