18 Times Joan Smalls' Style Left Us Speechless

Joan Smalls is a supermodel with the ability to slay on and off the runway. From glamourous fashion fetes to chic casual moments, Ms. Smalls always goes big with style.

To the naked eye it seems as if Joan is simply rocking a black top and white jeans. Yet, a closer look shows that her sheer black top, sleek white jeans and statement leopard shoes have all the necessary details, and then some.

When in Paris, do as the parisians do and go chic, black and romantic. We love!

We’re loving the high-low factors in this ensemble. The shorts and flat sandals keep things causal, while the shirt with lace detail and Chanel purse up the glam-factor. Super chic!

Smalls serves easy, breezy, beautiful vibes in this fun and playful frock. The cut-out detail and pop of color add a fresh take on a classic look.

Smalls proved she wasn’t afraid to take the plunge in this daring black gown with pleated details. She played it up well by opting for minimal jewelry.

Yes Joan! The supermodel gave at-ti-tiude as she owned the red-capret in this flowing ensemble. The small clutch and earrings finish the look off strong.

As a woman, having a go-to formula for your stand-out looks is always a must. Joan teaches this lesson in her flowy, black, cut-out frock with sheer details.

How fun is this floral number? We love the vibrant print and zip detail on this skirt. She nails this style with a simple top and shoes.

A true style star can dress up and down. Smalls fell in line with a super chic Parisian aesthetic as she donned a black turtleneck, leather biker jacket and gray jeans.

Well, glow on then Joan! This hot sequinned mini dress, svelte choker and embellished pumps come together for an all-around hot look.

In this case, we’ll start with the fantastic fringe boots and work our way up. Joan lets her shoes do the talking with a simple blue shift dress and a chic gold choker.

This dress is what sheer, feathery dreams are made of. The matching headband and decision to skip on the jewelry was definitely the right call.

17
Joan Smalls

There’s somethng about the subtle yet sexy peek-a-boo factor in the Givenchy dress that makes it epic. This is what we were talking about when we said her style was almost too hot to handle.

Joan Smalls

This is how you master sexy and classy in one look. She pushes the boundaries with her deep v-neck gown and perfectly pulls it all together with rich gold accessories.
