On Thursday evening, Cara Delevingne took a well-earned break from performing in Cabaret, amid her successful West End stage debut.

The actress, 31, put on an animated display in a personalised football shirt as she watched Chelsea FC beat Manchester United 4-3 at Stamford Bridge.

Keeping warm, Cara wore a blue beanie as well as a long sleeve white top beneath her blue home kit shirt, which boasted her surname emblazoned across the back. 

The British star spent the first half of the match in the owners' box, before enjoying the second half in a £4,000 seat in the dugout.

Fully immersed in the thrilling atmosphere, Cara hoisted her blue and white scarf above her head and screamed her team on to victory from the sidelines.

The Blues secured a stunning comeback win over Manchester United in the final Premier League game of the midweek fixtures on Thursday.

Man U looked like they had the game in their hands, themselves coming back from 2-0 down to lead 3-2.

But they threw away the lead as Cole Palmer netted twice deep into stoppage time to earn Chelsea a 4-3 victory.

Palmer's final goal, his third of the game, came when Chelsea took a short corner, with the England man given space to shoot and doing so, netting via a deflection off Scott McTominay. 

Meanwhile, Cara recently made her stage debut as Sally Bowles in London's famed West End Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club.

The actress took over the character after Rebecca Lucy Taylor, aka Self Esteem, finished her run with the Kander and Ebb musical - which centres around Berlin's underground club scene between the Jazz Age and the rise of Nazi Germany.

While Cara has already carved out a name for herself in the acting world having appeared in films such as Anna Karenina, Paper Towns, Suicide Squad and Tulip Fever, Cabaret marks her West End debut.

Playing Sally Bowles – made famous by Liza Minnelli in the 1972 film version - Cara is following in the footsteps of Oscar-nominated Jessie Buckley who previously played the role.

She appears alongside Olivier award-winning Luke Treadaway - who is starring as The Emcee in the iconic play.

The duo will perform for three months from March 11 right up until June 1 2024.

Speaking ahead of her exciting new stint, Cara said: 'There are no words to explain the excitement I have to return home to make my stage debut in such an iconic role.

'I am so inspired by the brilliant actors who have played Sally in past productions around the world and in this one in the West End. I cannot wait to be a part of this brilliant cast and production.'
