The model didn’t bother to show her brand loyalty as she coolly arrived in an H&M top and Givenchy belt paired with Frame-branded denim.

Joan styled her look with a Miu Miu bag, oversized hoop earrings, criss-cross suede sandals, and hair casually brushed back into a messy bun.

Joan joined other household names backstage, such as Bella Hadid and Irina Shayk.

The 27-year-old uploaded a photo of herself and other models with icy blue streaks across their eyes, which would later become Versace’s makeup theme for the night.
