The final days of 2013 are drawing near — and the only proper way to celebrate is to relive the year in Cara Delevingne. While her peers Karlie Kloss and Jourdan Dunn took up calmer hobbies, like baking and cooking, respectively, the Lady of the Covetable Eyebrows tromped around in onesies, rounded up her fellow Victoria’s Secret models for a twerk-a-thon, got a lion tattooed on her index finger, and even once, at Fashion Week, disguised herself in a balaclava that gave off major Bieber in “Channel” vibes. And let’s not forget the time she rebuffed Leonardo DiCaprio’s advances at Cannes.

Cara also did some modeling, too. She covered LOVE and W magazines, modeled with A$AP Rocky for DKNY, walked the runway with a soccer ball for Victoria’s Secret, appeared in Chanel’s Couture show — and expressed major discontent about Fashion Week. She also said that she’d “love to do what Meryl Streep is doing,” and then eagerly dipped a toe into acting and singing. Click through the slides to “embrace the weirdness” and relive Cara Delevingne’s most memorable moments of 2013.
