I want to be Coco Rocha when I grow up.
Unfortunately, I am already #@!$! years older than she is. So that ship has not only sailed, but capsized. My only hope is if James Cameron stumbles on the remains while nosing around for more Titanic wreckage and agrees to rebuild me as a 3D hologram; even then, though, odds are 70-30 I’d have to hop around wearing a loincloth and promiscuous hair. So I guess I’ll just sit here and wish.

I have seen pictures, you are MUCH prettier than she is. I mean she falls into the skinny, slouchy, model with dead eyes look….. you’re just darn pretty….. so if you are her in your next life, can I be you?
I adore that outfit! I wonder what her shoes look like.
LOL @ “People Like Us” in the background. Girl, please. She does look lovely though, very appropriate for what I assume is a casual event.
I love how she can make a pair of BRIGHT TANGERINE pants seem sedate and understated. She looks classy as hell, which is her metier, of course, but still. TANGERINE pants.
The pants look bright RED to me!
It’s a good look, but sorely in need of a tailor in my opinion.
The pants are a tad big, but not too bad. Still quite classy.
Yes, it’s very well put together all the same.
She’s very pretty and the look is very cute.
Ohdeargod. Somebody feed that child.
We don’t pick on people’s bodies here. Also, she’s one of the most successful models in the world. My guess is she’s been slim since birth.
“we don’t pick on people’s bodies here” is the reason i love this blog so much.
also i don’t even think she looks too skinny! those arms look toned.
I love the outfit…. I could not rock tangerine pants, I would look….. well like a tangerine.
And I agree with Claire L1, Jessica, you are much prettier.
Heather wrote this. But thank you! I have seen Coco in person and I am not. I WOULD, however, wear these pants. SO HARD.
Sorry
My head said Heather, my fingers decided to type Jessica.
TANGERINE? I have never seen a tangerine that color. Maybe it’s my monitor, but the pants look to be a red on the orange-ish side.
Gotta say, contrary to the popular opinion, that the fit of the outfit is not particularly flattering. Each to her own, though, I guess…..
What? Why would anyone emulate the look this lady has going? Her top is droopy, her sad little bow tie is wilted, her expression is unpleasant, and those horrid trousers came from a Ringling Brothers employee, as did the slap which was applied with a fire hose, apparently. And somebody stole all her jewelry.
Vacancy.
I love the look and I think she should get a well-played on a regular basis. I like Coco, I remember her lamenting several years ago to the press that designers wouldn’t hire her because they considered her too fat, but she refused to starve herself. Yes, she is slim but she isn’t too skinny. You go Coco!
Meh… nice in theory, but when I start looking, I don’t like the wimpy tie and the bottom of the pants looked taped or pinned up. I also agree she’s got that sort of mannequin blank expression. It’s alright, but no great heck…
I really like this… I’d totally wear it myself! FAB!
I like the post!
S’ why I keep reading this.
I like that you can still see her shoes.
I love her. She is one of the only models that point blank refuses to work with Terry Richardson too, so that makes me love her more.
She worked with him twice and then said she wouldn’t do it again because she didn’t feel comfortable (presumably after she had enough clout to control the kind of jobs she took) – by then, she knew of what she was speaking.
I also love her for refusing to starve herself – she’s spoken of going on diuretics to lose weight as a young model, and flat-out said that if she wants to have a cheeseburger on occasion, she will. Of course she’s still skinny, but some crazy designers think she’s not skinny enough! Their loss, I say.
LOVE this.
The pants are great, but I’m not a fan of the Colonel Sanders top.
Also, I picture Heather and Jessica to actually BE Joan Collins and Shannen Doherty.
OMG, YES! I will go to my grave believing wholeheartedly that Heather never leaves the Denver penthouse without a fur turban and a whisky tumbler at the ready to hurl at Dex Dexter and/or that Jessica’s bangs and smirk have been changed AT ALL since 1992.
I recently heard an interview with her on CBC and she is incredibly well spoken and funny. She is so lovely and intelligent and has really used her position to do some good.
Her blog is totally charming and adorable.
Yey! I like that story
I still remember her for the Irish jig she did on a Jean Paul Gaultier runway in 2006. One of my favourite runway moments ever, it should be compulsory youtube viewing.
ah… I love her now! I watched that and then her wedding video! How cute is she!
It’s nice to see that the “dead” look is just her model face.
I’m surprised a lady with legs that long needs to hem her pants, but she does. Or maybe it’s a weird angle? But the pant legs look folded under, and I can’t endorse that.
Also I hate the makeup. Harsh! Practically Middletonian.
The waist for those trews is shapeless – only passable on a slim lass! Like the colour but am over flares…
