Cara Delevingne is getting in the holiday spirit by paying tribute to music legend Elton John.
The 32-year-old model starred in a new video for the 77-year-old icon's classic holiday tune, "Step Into Christmas," which reimagines what it was like behind the scenes of the song's original video.

Delevingne plays the "Rocket Man" singer in the clip, wearing a satin suit and oversized glasses identical to the ones he wore in the 1973 version.
Delevingne, a close friend of John, called the experience a "dream" in a news release shared with Parade.
“Elton has always been an idol of mine, to say his music has had a deeply profound effect on me is an understatement," she said. "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. I hope that Elton may one day return the favor and agree to play me in my not-yet-developed, written, pitched, or funded biopic. Fingers crossed.”

The Grammy Winner was equally effusive in his praise of the actress.
“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," he explained. "She’s hilarious to spend time with; we both have quite a self-deprecating sense of humor."
John continued, "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.”
In the comments of the YouTube music video, fans shared their reactions, with some caught off guard by Delevingne as John.
One wrote, "His most excellent christmas carol. Wait... Elton's played by a girl?"
Another YouTube user declared, "Looks nothing like him, another great Elton song ruined by a video!"
Others, however, were delighted by the remake, with one person commenting, "MERRY CHRITMAS CARA AND ELTON."
