Let's Remember Joan Smalls's 2015 Sheer, Chic Look at the Met Gala

In preparation for 2016's Met Gala tonight, let's look back at one of our favorite looks from last year's fashionable event: Puerto Rican beauty Joan Smalls standing out from the crowd in a black and royal-blue Roberto Cavalli gown.

The memorable dress had everything the fit model needed to show off her toned abs, legs, and arms: cutouts, sheer paneling, and only one sleeve. But it was the way she toughened up the look with a black choker (back in fashion this year), eggplant smoky eyes, straight hair, and a severe middle part that seriously impressed us, aside from her soft nude lipstick, which contrasted the bright purple pout she wore in 2014 when she attended the gala with Vera Wang.
