When you’re a supermodel, it’s second nature to be captured stepping off of a boat in Saint Tropez while donning a maroon off-the-shoulder frock as the wind casually yet fabulously blows through your hair.

Obviously Joan Smalls has this supermodel thing on lock, because we’re obssessed with this look that she rocked while attending the Leonardo Dicaprio Foundation gala. 

The model paired the gorgeous frock with understated nude accessories, which really let the dress have its moment to shine.

Fittingly, her caption along with the fierce photo was “This is what you came for,” because yes, it’s exactly what we all came for.

Werk, Joan!
