Whether she’s running around between fashion shows or dolling up for the Met Gala, model Joan Smalls always manages to look perfectly put together. Never too overdone, the muse to Riccardo Tisci gravitates toward cutouts and crop tops, while experimenting with the occasional unusual lipstick color and bold choker. See her best outfits in our slideshow below, from bright Balmain and Fausto Puglisi cocktail dresses to dramatic Tom Ford slits, and so much more.
