This is MAJOR! I think the VS models did a cover shoot for Elle a while back, but one model alone…this hasn't happened in quite a while. Congrats Joanie!

I'm really happy as well. I wonder will that image used on the invitation be the actual cover image? It would be great.

THE RETURN OF THE SUPERMODEL: MEET JOAN SMALLS

Supermodels, over? As if. Joan Smalls wields the kind of flawless, unequivocal beauty that is both a throwback to the past and a sign that fashion is finally facing the future. Molly Young meets the very real woman behind the planet's most perfect face
BY MOLLY YOUNG

On the fashion industry’s lack of diversity: "People hide behind the word aesthetic. They say, ‘Well, it’s just that designer’s aesthetic.’ But when you see 18 seasons in a row and not one single model outside a certain skin color…? There are people in the industry who are advocates, who support diversity. And there are people who do not. I don’t get it. Beauty is universal. These doors have to open.”

How her modeling career started: "I came to New York with a dream. I came to do what I saw girls doing in campaigns, in editorials—great things, challenging things."

Her motivations to eventually get into acting: "I want to be clear that I don't want to act just because it's the typical move for a model. My desire comes from a place of wanting to entertain people on a different level."

Estée Lauder's Richard Ferretti on Smalls:
“The word supermodel is overused, but if there is any woman of our generation who deserves the title, it’s Joan. She has the perfect face.”

OMG is the male model in the ed with her Wouter Peelen? He's one of my favorites! Him & Joan should make supermodel babies together right now! Get to it!

BTW, did anyone else notice the caption under her name? "What is takes to be the world's real top model." They didn't have to throw in the world "real," & they certainly didn't have to italicize it. Am I the only one who sees this as some not-so-subtle shade at a few other models of the moment?

It absolutely has nothing to do with any other top models. It's a specific reference to the "America's Next Top Model" style, reality show situations.

I'm here for her Elle cover! This b*tch is slaying every model out there.

Seriously - this Elle US cover is HUUUUGE for her. Joan has some major friends and supporters in the industry! If only it would translate into more campaigns! She needs another killer season!

PROPS to La Smalls for breaking the celebrities on US magazine covers trend single handedly. Time will tell if this becomes more and more of the norm but regardless Joan has it all and is serving it up with style and grace. More!
