Cara Delevingne and Jourdan Dunn Do the Harlem Shake

It was only a matter of time before someone in the fashion industry made a response to the Internet's latest dance video craze, the Harlem Shake — and who better suited for the task than model friends Jourdan Dunn and Cara Delevingne?


It was only a matter of time before someone in the fashion industry made a response to the Internet's latest dance video craze, the Harlem Shake — and who better suited for the task than model friends Jourdan Dunn and Cara Delevingne?

The duo were backstage at the Topshop Unique show on Sunday with fellow model Rosie Tapner when cameras captured Dunn following the meme's custom of breaking into a spontaneous dance to the Baauer song "Harlem Shake." Delevingne and Tapner don't seem particularly amused to be in the middle of a dance party until they suddenly join in on the fun.

Iterations of the Harlem Shake video have come from the campuses of West Point and the University of Texas, and to the offices of BuzzFeed and Anderson Cooper Live. Given how much the fashion industry likes its memes, we're a little surprised it took this long for someone to make a version, but we're excited to see the ones that might follow it. Your move, Alber.

The Topshop Unique Fall '13 Looks Every Cool Girl Will Covet

Considering the front-row and the runway lineup, Unique Topshop's Fall '13 show is where the cool girls hang out.

Considering the front-row and the runway lineup, Unique Topshop's Fall '13 show is where the cool girls hang out. With the Tate Modern as its backdrop and Olivia Palermo, Kate Bosworth, and Demi Lovato as front-row fixtures, the stage was primed for covet-worthy wares to take their rightful place on the catwalk. And so be it: Cara Delevingne opened in a midriff-baring sweater top and lacquered A-line skirt. Most notable, though, was the integration (and application) of sequin and sparkle as an embellishment altogether ungirlie. High shine was key, but the assumed glitziness was subdued by way of sharp tailoring, luxe fur add-ons, and masculine outerwear counterparts. Even the most feminine dusty-pink sequined skirt seemed like fair game for the tougher downtown girl. Of course, after seeing Jourdan Dunn close out the show in a deep-burgundy-hued sequin jumpsuit, we're pretty sure that's the one Fall piece our wardrobe needs most. See the best looks to hit the Unique Topshop Fall '13 runway now.
