At May 2's Met Gala, Cara Delevingne embraced her skin, psoriasis and all.

The actor and model walked the red carpet at the gilded-glamour-themed Met Gala in New York City with her psoriasis on display. For the occasion, Delevingne wore a red suit Dior suit with nothing but gold body paint (and pasties) underneath. 

Psoriasis is a common skin condition, affecting nearly 7.5 million Americans, according to the American Academy of Dermatology Association. It is chronic and has no cure, and can come and go in cycles lasting weeks or months. Psoriasis causes red and itchy scaly patches to appear on the skin, most commonly on the knees, elbows, or scalp, per the Mayo Clinic.

Makeup artist Romy Soleimani, who gave Delevinge her golden hue, told Vanity Fair of the color: "There's a toughness to it because that's very Cara. It almost feels a little Ziggy Stardust–y," she adds, calling the model the master of both masculine and feminine.

Delevingne is one of many celebrities who have spoken about suffering from psoriasis, including Jonathan Van Ness, La La Anthony, Cyndi Lauper, Kris Jenner, and Kim Kardashian. Several years ago, when she was regularly walking high-fashion shows, Delevingne said that the stress of the runways made her skin "erupt."

Also on the red carpet, Delevingne spoke about wanting to show even more skin. “"I did a reveal of my boobs, but not the nipple since I still have to hide those, apparently," the model told Variety, referencing the #FreetheNipple movement.

One day, Cara.
