While they may have been left out of Apple’sThe Super Modelsdocumentary, Shalom Harlow and Amber Valletta used Paris Fashion Week to prove they’re still two of the best professional posers in the game.
Both cover girls sported blunt bangs for the evening, a twinning moment, which perhaps inspired their sororal caption. But Valletta opted for a totally sheer black halter neck dress with just a pair of black briefs on underneath, while Harlow went with something much more covered up in an oversize leather jacket worn over a taupe silk blouse and brown pencil skirt.

Many have read into that iconic fashion moment, claiming that Harlow was attempting to one-up her catwalk colleague. However, mere seconds later the two models emerge from backstage holding hands and smiling.
In an interview withVoguein February, Harlow also addressed this iconic exchange, explaining that there’s no longstanding beef between these best friends. “There’s some video footage of me overtaking Amber on the runway, which everybody makes it into some, like, ‘Oh, they must have had a little bit of a moment!’ It was not anything like that at all,” she explained.
“It was just, I had a fast clip. I was just feeling the music and walking and I overtook her. She was extra slouchy that day and she was moving slower than usual. You can see as we’re walking back, I turn to her and I say a few things. The first thing I say is, ‘Keep up with me.’ And then you see me turn and say something else to her, and I say, ‘Ok, now turn,’ and so we turned in unison.”

Valletta seconded that recollection in her own video withVoguefrom April. While looking at a photo of herself on the runway just before it all transpired, she said, “This is such a funny moment in fashion and I could see Miss Saucy Thing coming up behind me in this image. Here she is. That’s Shalom. And very soon she will take me over at the end of the runway.”
Valletta continued, “What’s funny is people do like to make this into a drama, which is hilarious to me because it was so not a drama. She was just on fire, she was feeling it, she was feeling that short skirt. We start walking back and I remember her saying, ‘Keep up with me.’ So I’m walking, obviously as fast as I can, and then she says, ‘Now, turn’ and so of course I listened because she was in charge.”
