Did we just witness some friendly model-to-model competition?
It all started when Chanel Iman attended the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit release party in New York wearing gorgeous over-the-knee cage heels.

One of the top 30 models of the 2000s, she wore a midriff-baring two-piece dress by August Getty Atelier.
