Chanel Iman wore a J. Mendel gown and Lorraine Schwartz jewels last night on the Met Gala red carpet. She was at the Metropolitan Museum of Art to celebrate the Costume Institute's new Punk: Chaos to Couture exhibit, but isn't one to dabble in the style herself. Chanel revealed her most edgy beauty look ever, and admitted that her look yesterday was "as punk as" she gets. Watch later as we break down all the red carpet highlights with a very special episode of POPSUGAR Live! at 2:30 p.m. EDT/11:30 a.m. PDT!
Chanel Iman's Blond Holiday
If any model has proven her mass appeal this Fall, it's Chanel Iman. After starring in the Fall 2012 campaigns for Saks Fifth Avenue, The Shops at Target, and Amazon.com, she's ending the year with Forever 21's Holiday campaign. In the images, shot by Dean Isidro, Iman makes the brand's sequined cocktail dresses and studded pieces shine — aided in some images by a blond wig. It's a trend we've seen throughout the industry this year: Miranda Kerr donned a flaxen bob for the October issue of Vogue Italia, Kate Moss sports a platinum crop on the December cover of Vanity Fair, and all the models who walked in Alexander McQueen's Fall 2012 show wore platinum wigs as well.
Behind the Scenes With Chanel Iman at Amazon's Holiday Campaign Shoot
Chanel Iman has reprised her role as the face of Amazon Fashion for Holiday 2012, and from the looks of things, the ads will be just as polished and ladylike as her Fall campaign for the site.

Photographer Matthew Rolston told us that's because of Iman's "elegant and beautiful" look. "I find an innocence and purity in her look, but also a sense of real womanly sophistication, which I think is unusual for such a young person," he said. "She looked stunning and really brought the clothes to life with her unique ability to move in front of the camera."

Watch: Chanel Iman Shows Off Her New Pole Dancing Skills
Chanel Iman shows off her new favorite hobby — pole dancing — in a just-released video created by husband and wife filmmakers Dusan Reljin and Hilde Pettersen Reljin for Nowness. Under an array of vibrantly colored lights, the glitter-covered supermodel dons a large wig and engages in several outfit changes — and is completely mesmerizing all the while.

"We wanted all the colors to be very primary, saturated and strong, so that the whole thing would be very powerful," Dusan said. "Even though she is doing something very exotic and visual, the color schemes that we used make her part of the environment."

What Are the Supermodels Listening to These Days?
A look at the playlists of four very different models — Chanel Iman, Jessica Stam, Chrissy Teigen, and Kate Upton, to be exact — reveals that their taste in music is just as different as their personas.
br>
All four women signed on as part of Skullcandy's Supermodel Crew this Summer; the first part of the collaboration with the headphone brand was to list what songs are on their Spotify playlists. Teigen's is heavy on R&B from John Legend (they're engaged to be married, after all), while Stam's includes soulful, old-school tracks from Etta James, Otis Redding, and Willie Nelson. What are the others listening to? Find out — and listen to the tracks — right here.

Miranda Kerr and Alessandra Ambrosio Go Calendar Girl For VMAN
Miranda Kerr and Alessandra Ambrosio were among the models selected by guest editor Carine Roitfeld for a spread in VMAN. Their new issue hits newsstands next Tuesday, Feb. 14. The girls, along with ten other models, including Adriana Lima, Doutzen Kroes, and Chanel Iman, did a pinup shoot made to look like the 12 pages of a calendar. It was a reunion of sorts for some of the ladies, like Adriana, Alessandra, and Miranda, who are all Victoria's Secret Angels. Miranda is currently Down Under with her family, while Alessandra is taking a hiatus from her Angel duties while pregnant. Adriana, though, stepped out earlier this week for a VS Valentine's Day event and told us about what she and husband Marko Jaric have planned for the big day.
Click through to see Miranda, Adriana, and more models, like Lily Donaldson, Joan Smalls, and Izabel Goulart.

Karlie Kloss Bares All For New Vogue Italia
>> Not that long ago, Karlie Kloss and Chanel Iman were introduced to the industry on the girlish February 2008 cover of Teen Vogue. Fast forward three and a half years, and Iman is renting a private island off Jamaica to ring in her 21st birthday, while Kloss is earning Gisele Bundchen comparisons for her body-baring Vogue Italia December 2011 cover story, "Body by Kloss," shot by Steven Meisel. Appropriately enough, Kloss, who got herself a trainer six months ago, recently named Bundchen her favorite model growing up: "Oh, my God, Gisele, of course! Gisele is the ultimate." See the full NSFW editorial in the slideshow.
