The 23-year-old model and actress - who is dating singer St. Vincent aka Annie Clark - adopted crossbreed Leo last year and claims she got a canine companion because she had been feeling broody.

Asked if she had always wanted a dog, Cara told the Sunday Times Style magazine: "Er, no, actually. I wanted a baby for a while. But I thought, well..."

The 'Paper Towns' star is known for her bushy eyebrows and admits her famous feature stops her from wearing make-up when she isn't modelling.

She explained: "I don't wear make-up. I can't, because I've got eyebrows the size of Texas. Lipstick and eyebrows don't really work unless you have a lot of eyes on, in my opinion."

And when she isn't working, Cara doesn't make much effort with her appearance.

She said: "I'll wear f***ing tracksuits every day and not really care."

It was recently claimed Cara and her 33-year-old partner are planning to set up home together in Paris, France.

A source said: "Their relationship has been very intense and things have moved along quickly but they feel they can face the pressure of moving in together."
