With all due respect to Lebron James, the most satisfying part about the NBA Finals has to be the supermodel stunners and A-list starlets sitting on the sidelines. These ladies have made the courtside their own personal runway, snagging the attention of the Jumbo Tron with their array of outfits that are the perfect mix of moxie and team spirit. Don’t get us wrong, we love showing our team spirit— dressing in a jersey, sneakers and face paint— but we’ve realized that being a spectator is about much more than looking like a mascot. Just look at the supermodels who have mastered the art of sitting pretty from coast to coast.

In honor of the NBA Finals going on now between the Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs, we caught up with Damaris Lewis whose winning sideline fashion and basketball spirit has us raving! Find out about her favorite courtside fashion looks while she cheers on the Miami Heat in our exclusive interview below:

M: What is one of your favorite courtside fashion looks?

D: When I go to Knicks games, my staple is usually a comfy jean and a killer boot. I’m not a fan of dressing up to watch basketball, but a blazer, jeans, and heels are model staples.

M: Do you like wearing your team’s jersey or colors? Or do you just go all out and not worry about it?

D: Around the playoffs I will probably wear my team’s jersey at home but I prefer to keep it neutral in the arena.

M: Do you go for heels, sneakers, or sneaker heels when you’re trying to look fashionable at a sporting event?

D: I am all about the Isabel Marant Sneaker heel ever since fellow model Jessica Gomes introduced me to them a few years ago. Dressing up for a sporting event isn’t necessary, but if I do, I like to keep it as simple as possible.

M:Do you have a favorite NBA moment or memory?

D: Yes, I do! Earlier this year I had the privilege of filming a solo two-minute opener for the NBA All Star game with Turner Sports. It was a dream come true!

These days, we’ve grown accustomed to seeing Dree Hemingway light up the big screen with her mega-watt beauty and turn heads on the red carpet, as she continues to dedicate herself to her blossoming Hollywood career.  So imagine our delight when we learned that the screen siren had taken a break from the set of her latest film X/Y, to return to the pages of Vogue magazine this month to star in a special editorial tribute to her great-grandfather, Ernest Hemingway!

With a cast that includes actors Jason Clarke and Theo James, the model-turned-actress set off on a laid-back Boca Grande getaway, where she reimagined the care-free Floridian style of her great-grandfather, playing the part of his third wife, celebrated war correspondent, Martha Gellhorn.  Armed with an arsenal of gingham prints and breezy poolside separates, Dree looks every bit the playful, statuesque beauty of her family’s past, all the while paying homage to such iconic moments as the arrival of the bikini and the reemergence of the oh-so-feminine silk slip— the soon-to-be center-piece of our glammed up Fall ’13 wardrobe.  Shot by famed photographer Bruce Weber, Dree appears every bit as free-spirited and adventurous of her family’s ‘Lost Generation’ days, albeit never loosing an ounce of her modern Cali-cool charm.  Like a scene ripped out of the pages of Hemignway’s greatest works, Dree’s editorial work is as much fun to flip through as we can only assume it was to shoot.  Below, we’ve selected a few of our favorite images from Dree’s latest glossy work, but you can head over to Vogue.com to see full cinematic spread.

Coconut oil has commonly been referred to as a ‘superfood’ ingredient among health-conscious foodies; however, it wasn’t until we started taking notes from the models that we learned of its incredible beauty benefits. That’s right! Despite its origination on the shelves at Whole Foods, coconut oil is actually one of the beauty industry’s best-kept miracle products with the powers to treat everything from dry skin and acne, to split-ends and rough cuticles. The key to the ingredient’s magic lies in its genetic makeup of anti-inflammatory dietary fatty acids and superior antimicrobial and antioxidant properties.  What that means is that when applied topically, coconut oil has wonderful moisturizing effects, providing deep moisture while also helping to improve skin’s overall elasticity and surface texture.  Rich in minerals and nutrients such as lauric acid and vitamin E, coconut oil is one of the most natural and effective sources of skin hydration, as well as a natural sunscreen aid— a definite bonus as we prepare to spend the next several weekends basking in the sun’s warm glow.

In addition to these skin-saving wonders, coconut oil has also proven to be just as versatile in the realm of luxe hair care, tackling a number of our most troublesome mane issues.  Doutzen Kroes for one, has championed the use of the oil as a leave-in conditioner, applying a small amount of the product to her hair before bed to keep her strands soft and shiny.  For more humid days, the product can be used as a frizz-fighting agent when a dime-sized amount is lightly smoothed over fly-aways, acting as a barrier against the hair-raising heat.  Coconut oil’s strengthening and protective qualities are also said to help ward off environmentally-caused damage— i.e. destructive free-radicals and sunlight exposure— all without the added buildup of artificial chemicals.

So, there you have it— a miracle working beauty product actually worth its weight in supermodel endorsements!  No matter what your beauty trouble may be, chances are there is a coconut oil fix just waiting to be tested.  Not sure where to start?  Check out our slideshow below for a few of the best new beauty buys that currently have models and beauty professionals alike going cuckoo for coconut!

As glamourous as the supermodel lifestyle may appear to wishful onlookers, like every job known to man, it too has its downsides.  To start, there’s the never-ending jet lag, the nail-biting casting sessions, the long long hours of stiff posing— not to mention there’s that whole crazy walking business that Cara Delevingne so aptly pointed out to Interview magazine a few months back.  Confronted with these trying tasks on a daily basis,  it’s easy to see why these gorgeous gals would be on the lookout for any free moment to let loose and have a little fun of their own.  Little did we know that those moments have often taken place in front of our very own eyes, all without our knowing! That is, until now.

Speaking to Net-a-Porter.com’s digital magazine, The Edit, in this week’s edition, Joan Smalls revealed her secret to having fun on the runways, chalking it up to nothing more than a playful sense of humor.

“I like to mess with the other girls,” she says. “We stare each other out as we walk past and try to make the other girl smile. I play with Karlie [Kloss], but she has her game face on and never cracks, but on Karmen [Pedaru] and Abbey Lee [Kershaw] it works. The trick is to do it when you’re going back and they are coming towards the camera, so nobody knows it’s me!”

So, they’re catwalking champs with some serious comedic chops to boot— is there anything these beauties can’t do?! Needless to say, we’ll be on the lookout all throughout September Fashion Week for any sign of models cracking up on the catwalk, although we’re sure the task will prove harder than it seems— after all, no one knows how to rock a poker face better than a top model!

For more on the Puerto Rican model’s rise to super-stardom, check out this week’s edition of The Edit now available on Net-a-Porter.com!  And while you’re at it, here’s another look at a few of the other top models we’ve caught goofing around on the job in the past:

We love following Cindy Crawford on Twitter, if not for the weekly #ModelMonday musings, then for its never-ending stream of flashback photos!  The ’90s glamazon never fails to churn out the very best #ThrowbackThursday pics, featuring such fan favorites as her early Vogue covers, infamous Versace campaigns, or as was the case last night, her very first modeling gig!

Don’t let the photo fool you.  While Cindy’s snap may be a simple (albeit slightly confusing) black-and-white newspaper clipping of her at just 16-years old, it is also the supermodel’s first ever cover shot circa 1982!  Featured on the front page of her hometown paper, the DeKalb Nite WEEKLY, the all-American beauty is seen lounging alongside a pool in a striped bikini looking, oddly enough, every bit the supermodel we know her to be today.  Even more impressive than her apparent natural talent, is the fact that the model’s cover debut was made not in the hands of famed photographer such as Testino or Bensimon, but rather in the hands of her high school boyfriend at the time.  Hardly the high-fashion infused covers we’re used to seeing from the hot mama!

“My very first cover during high school in DeKalb shot in my high school boyfriend’s backyard,” tweeted Cindy.  “Believe me when I say I had absolutely no idea where that photo would lead to!”

It would lead of course, to one of the most-successful modeling careers of all time, not to mention covers of a more glamourous variety.
