Coco Rocha at Christian Dior
There’s no denying that Coco has one of the more vibrant personalities on the catwalk. Even with her oversized hat pulled coyly over her face, onlookers could still identify her at Christian Dior’s Fall 2011 show by her distinct arm maneuvers.

For Bergdorf Goodman’s 111th anniversary party in New York City, Coco opted for a strapless oxblood Zac Posen Resort 2013 mermaid gown. What really put this look over-the-top, though, was the supermodel’s incredible red carpet stance.
