But for supermodels, the star-studded spectacle is an excuse to get glam and don super-sexy ensembles to the many afterparties. Below, we’ve rounded up the most sizzling looks from Miranda Kerr, Kate Upton, Alessandra Ambrosio and more models — and then divided them into two teams: ultra-plunging and super-sheer.
