Even when saving the universe, British model and actress Cara Delevingne remains a fashion maven.

In Luc Besson’s sci-fi film Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (opening in Hong Kong on July 27) Delevingne’s galactic leading lady, Laureline, wears a variety of outfits – think cosmic desert couture, spaceship lounge chic and alien formal wear – though her favourite is some decidedly functional space armour.

“It made me feel like I was in another world,” Delevingne says.
