Cara Delevingne Transforms into Elton John in 'Step Into Christmas' Music Video Remake — Watch!

Mar. 15, 2025

Cara Delevingneis a spitting image ofElton John.

On Wednesday, Dec. 18, the “Candle in the Wind” musician, 77, shared a kitschy visual remake of his 1973 Christmas classic"Step into Christmas,“starring the actress/model, 32.

In the new video, which takes cues from John’s original visual for the track, Delevingne dresses in drag as the “Tiny Dancer” hitmaker as a production team frantically decorates the video’s set for the holidays, with a festive feather boa, balloons, and confetti. Meanwhile, chaos abounds as the team wrangles an escaped turkey, fails to book a real reindeer, and tackles a fan who storms the set.

The visual also pans to a 1973 version of John along with Delevingne as they sing together.

“I saw Cara at Glastonbury last summer, and we talked about how much we’d love to work together if the right idea came up,” John said in a statement. “She’s hilarious to spend time with; we both have quite a self-deprecating sense of humor. When someone suggested the idea of her playing me in a riff on the 1973 ‘Step Into Christmas’ video, I just thought it was the perfect opportunity. Thank God Cara thought the same because it came out great.”
