WHERE were Cara and Kendall?

While Victoria’s Secret Angels took over London in sexy lingerie, new BFFs Kendall Jenner and Cara Delevingne went high fashion (and covered up) with Chanel in Austria.

The catwalk shows could not have been more different — Victoria’s Secret was a flesh-fest where models strutted in barely-there bras and knickers, while Chanel was the definition of ladylike and demure.

Jenner, 19, and Delevingne, 22, wore designs by Karl Lagerfeld for the Chanel Metiers d’Art runway, staged at Hotel Schloss Leopoldskron in Salzburg.

Jenner sported a sheer black dress reminiscent of The Craft, teamed with Chanel pearls and patent leather boots, with see-through gloves.

Delevine, a muse of Lagerfeld’s, walked hand-in-hand with the designer in a white Victorian inspired dress with a pearl choker and black bow detail.

It was a contrast to the racy outfits Delevingne wore when strutting the catwalk for Victoria’s Secret at last year’s show.

She couldn’t walk in Chanel and VS today because the events clashed and she chose Chanel, New York Post reports.

Days before they hit Chanel’s catwalk, Delevingne and Jenner had been partying in London, where they were seen chatting to Harry Styles at the British Fashion Awards. Both models have previously been linked to the 1D heart-throb.

The top models are clearly besties, even holding hands while walking in Chanel’s show.

Pre-runway, Delevingne channelled Minnie Mouse in a spotty onesie, while Jenner opted for the off-duty model staple of jeans and a jacket.
