Joan Smalls

^Is this just an opinion, or do you have any credible sources?

I thought she looked good at the MET, not great. I wish she would've pulled her hair back in a ponytail or done something different with it. Other than that, the dress was killer, and her legs were RIDICULOUS. Seriously, the best legs in the industry.

Joan looked phenomenal. I thought the dress made a statement. No one can deny it's Balmain.

I get what you're saying about her hair. Like if she would of pin it up like Chanel or did something different to it. But I can understand why she try to keep it simple so more of the attention will go to the dress.

I agree valliaddict! she always does that hairstyle and it is so boring

the dress looked great on her, but I wish the hair and makeup were different

Joan's look definitely wasn't "forgettable" because lots of people are talking about her and she's making best dressed lists. I think it's just that some of us fashion folk expected her to show up in something different and not from the Fall collection. I thought Olivier was going to design 4 looks and she would pick one? I guess that didn't happen... She still looked better than many people who attended the event.

I really like her overall look. Obviously, I will love her to shine more in a beautiful gown, but with this, she shows her toned legs & sexy body. Her hair kinda remind me the MU2006 winner Zuleyka Rivera with whom she share some features besides the nationality. A Balmain campaign would be great for her portfolio.

Her look was a bit underwhelming. He really should have had people make 1 unique long gown for her and not present 4 RTW frumpy dresses to her.

I am also disappointed in her look at the Met I thought with Balmain they could have much more of a statement also I don't like the make-up or hairstyle on her there.

I'm happy to hear she's working with VS again. I hope they let her model some lingerie, and this time, don't give her a red lip & a severe hairstyle!! IDK why they did that to her when that isn't the VS aesthetic. This time they need to do her beauty justice.

^I think it's lingerie, BBV stands for Body by Victoria which is one of VS' lines(there's also an underwear rack behind her in the photo if you look closely).
