See Cara Delevingne and Minke's Matching Alanis Morissette-Inspired Tattoos
Cara Delevingne and her girlfriend, Minke, are still going strong—and according to her recent Instagram photo dump, they had so much fun at the Glastonbury music festival in the UK that they got matching tats to commemorate the occasion. 'GLASTONBURY!!! THANK YOU! What a year! You are in my heart forever and always!! Too many photos and videos to post, too much fun was had,' Cara wrote, in part. The 20-slide carousel included sweet pics of the pair, who have been together for nearly three years. They also enjoyed sets throughout the weekend, from Alanis Morissette to Avril Lavigne. ICYMI, Cara and Minke—whose real name is Leah Mason—have been longtime fans of Alanis. Voiceover actor and comedian Pete Capella left a sweet comment under Cara's post, writing, 'Dream trip! It was just a few years ago that lil Leah was in the nosebleeds with us watching Alanis. These seats seem much better! ❤️' Further proof: the matching 'Ironic' tattoos Cara and Minke showed off at the fest as an homage to Alanis's 1995 hit. They also got the chance to meet the Jagged Little Pill artist backstage at the fest, where they snapped a group photo together alongside Anya Taylor-Joy and Chelsea Handler. Another celeb guest in her top-tier photo dump? That'd be Charli XCX, who also brought brat to life on Glastonbury's Other Stage. This isn't the first time Cara has gotten matching ink, either. The supermodel and her pal Kaia Gerber each got a 'solemate' tattoo on the arch of their feet in 2020, and after that, Cara and her Only Murders in the Building co-star, Selena Gomez, got a watercolor rose. She also has matching tats with Paris Jackson, Margot Robbie, Jourdan Dunn, and her ex-girlfriend Ashley Benson. @ Cara, if you're searching for another tattoo partner, I'll meet you at the nearest parlor.
