It’s only Cara Delevingne, who is certainly no stranger to a bold look thanks to the countless photoshoots she’s done over the years. The 32-year-old model well and truly looks the part, as she sports an identical-looking suit and glasses as worn by Sir Elton.

Her long locks have been covered by a ginger wig, and she oozes pizazz while effortlessly strumming on the guitar. On its initial release in November 1973, Step Into Christmas reached number 24 in the UK top 40 and the top of the Billboard Christmas Singles chart.

Cara, who is a close friend of Sir Elton’s, said of the project: ‘Elton has always been an idol of mine; to say his music has had a deeply profound effect on me is an understatement. ‘To be asked by him to play him in this recreation was a dream that I didn’t know I had until it happened.

‘Honestly I wish I could pretend to be Elton every day.’. On whether the roles might reverse in the future, she added jokingly: ‘I hope that Elton may one day return the favour and agree to play me in my not yet developed, written, pitched, or funded biopic. Fingers crossed.’.
