With just enough time to take off the peacock print runway clothes, change into jeans and a sweatshirt, and remove her face jewelry, Joan Smalls jetted off to New York. With kiss curls still in tact, she posted an image of herself on Instagram in a private plane just hours after walking in the Givenchy Paris Fashion Week show. Although she looked fresh-faced with flawless makeup and hair still professionally done, her pose and expression said it all: the jet-set life of a supermodel isn’t as glamorous as its made out to be.

All within 24 hours, the 26-year-old, who is one of the most in-demand models of the moment, flew from France to New York and back to France again. “Feeling a bit loopy…Another Plane???? #AuRevoirNY#BonjourParis ????” she wrote on a selfie from yet another flight.

Since the end of January, Smalls has been to her native Puerto Rico to shoot the Victoria’s Secret swim special, Paris for the couture shows, then to New York for Fashion Week, Los Angeles for Tom Ford, ann then London, Milan, and now Paris. All of that within less than two months is a lot, let alone adding a two transcontinentals within on day in there (hey, at least she’s flying private.) And the lucky young woman also has a slew of hair and makeup professionals to make it look like she’s slept a full night within since the New Year.
