From prim to plunging! Cara Delevingne opts for a ladylike blouse and pencil skirt... as Suki Waterhouse rocks a daring LBD at Burberry event in Shanghai
They've been merrily Instagramming away as they enjoy some quality time together thanks to their mutual role as Burberry ambassadors.
But it was back to business for model BFFs Cara Delevingne and Suki Waterhouse as they attended the Burberry brings London to Shanghai event in China on Thursday night.
Heading in rather different sartorial directions for the occasion, Cara, 21, opted for an uncharacteristically ladylike look, while Suki, 22, ramped things up in a plunging LBD.

Leading the charge of models as the iconic British label prepared to launch a new star in the city's Kerry Centre mall, queen of the catwalk Cara ditched her usual tomboy style in favour of something a little more prim and proper.
The London-born beauty flashed a hint of toned tum in a tailored button-down blouse, which she teamed with a sheer crochet lace pencil skirt as she worked her magic in front of the camera.
Adding height to her already statuesque frame with a pair of skyscraper black stilettos, the willowy blonde completed her party ensemble with a monochrome clutch bag, and wore her long locks loose and unstyled around her shoulders as she smouldered into the lens.

Suki, the girlfriend of Hollywood actor Bradley Cooper, opted for a rather more daring approach to her look, rocking a dramatically plunging LBD with a daring semi-sheer thigh split.
Cut almost to the waist, the doe-eyed blonde's flattering and feminine midi-dress made for an elegant ensemble as she joined BFF Cara at the fashion event.
Pouting away as she posed up a storm for a sea of eager photographers, Suki wore her locks tousled into their signature bed-head style and teetered on a pair of towering bronze stiletto heels.

The girls were joined in their fashion parade by fellow models Matilda Lowther and Malaika Firth, who also showcased their svelte supermodel figures in pretty dresses as they posed for shots.
Representing the Burberry boys was actor and model Jamie Campbell Bower, who rocked an edgy floral printed shirt and a jade green mac.
The Burberry brings London to Shanghai event was held at a shipping yard in the sprawling metropolis, with VIPs dressed in Burberry’s latest Gold collection (exclusive to the new store) bringing a classic Burberry performance to the guests, a mix of private invitees and competition winners.

The store itself, in the gleaming Kerry Centre mall in Shanghai's Jing An district, pays tribute to the UK Regent Street flagship that opened in September 2012.
It is smaller, but the design echoes that of its London counterpart, with a vast, open ‘landing page’ area (like the London store, the intention is that you feel almost as though you have walked into the Burberry.com website, with the digital experience brought to life in a physical space) that plays host to a free-standing screen beaming out catwalk footage and a sweeping Corinthian stone staircase leading up to two more floors.
It is not only the largest Burberry store in Asia to date, but it also carries the largest beauty room, watch room and Prorsum collection.
Golden girl: Malaika Firth looked lovely in a pretty bronze dress and strappy sandals

Anything else? Oh yes - interactive mirrors that respond when you approach with a garment to feed you related content - a catwalk show, perhaps, or information about the fabric. The only thing they don’t do is tell you how awesome you look (Burberry - could you look into that for us please?!).
The icing on the cake though is an intelligent glass facade that reacts to the weather and can change accordingly. By night it is lit up with the heritage Burberry check across the building; by day it responds to natural light or rain to present itself in different guises - something that 121 Regent Street, with its beautiful old stone exterior, cannot match.
Furniture and fittings are all British-designed, and the window display is given over to the Heritage collection - a celebration of the trench distilled down to its very essence, with three classic takes on the trench for women - The Kensington, The Sandringham and The Westminster (men have four) - each tweaked just slightly to offer a slimmer cut or tapered waist, for example.
Stylish turnout: Actress Chiling Lin and actor Chen Kun looked rather chic as they worked their magic in front of the camera
Cool customer: Jamie injected a touch of Hollywood glamour to the event with his attendance
