20 Joan Smalls Runway Looks So Avant-Garde, They Could Double as Halloween Costumes

Oct 28 2017 - 3:15pm

Joan Smalls, like her fellow Victoria's Secret Angels [1], is no stranger to the perfect Halloween [2] look. (See: her jaw-dropping take on a monster [3].)

However, what if we told you that her best costumes have actually been on the runway? The Puerto Rican model, who recently became W Hotels' Global Fashion Innovator [4], has graced the catwalk looking virtually unrecognizable in chic ensembles created by her favorite designers — including Versace, Balmain, Givenchy, and of course Victoria's Secret [5] — over the years. Ahead, see photographic evidence that, sometimes, avant-garde fashion is, dare we say, even better than a store-bought Halloween costume. Then, ogle Joan's most enviable outfits so far this year [6].
