You would think that since she’s a Victoria’s Secret Angel, Joan Smalls would be used to being surrounded by a bevy of top-class beauties by now. Apparently, that isn’t the case. Joan said that she still thinks it’s “unbearable” to be around such beautiful people.

In August 2016, the Puerto Rican model was joined by the gorgeous Chanel Iman, Hannah Ferguson, Nina Agdal, and Shanina Shaik at the launch of W Hotel Dubai in New York City.

Joan showed off her enviably chiseled abs in a two-piece Misha Collection combination, which consists of a cutout crop top and a pencil skirt with a front slit.

The model wore minimal jewelry paired with a rectangular clutch by Edie Parker and the eccentric fur-trimmed “Zelda” sandals by Gianvito Rossi. She wore “Dragon” high heel sandals from the same shoe designer at the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards.

Joan documented her whole day on Snapchat, revealing behind-the-scenes snippets as she got ready and fooled around with friends. The 28-year-old snapped a moment with her model friends, saying how being around her beautiful pals was “unbearable.”

The first Latina model to represent Estée Lauder cosmetics, she ended her night by chowing on some fried grub with friends.

Fur-trimmed footwear was trending in 2016, and Gianvito Rossi took the trend, combined sexy with playful, and came up with the “Zelda” sandals.
