Over the past several years, she's proved to be a formidable force in the modelling world, consistently breaking barriers and ranking among the top in her field.

And on Wednesday, Joan Smalls showed exactly why she stands among the most coveted in her profession when she was unveiled as the LOVE advent calendar's model on Day 27 in the racy series, showing off her moves in a sultry new video.

Wearing a belted black leotard with fishnet stockings, the 29-year-old Puerto Rican beauty is seen writhing around in a dance studio, in scenes reminiscent of the 1983 movie Flashdance - and Madonna's look for 2005 video for her hit single Hung Up.

As the clip starts, the Victoria's Secret model is heard saying: 'I'm Joan Smalls, and I'm here to move,' before removing her mauve jacket and pink sweater to reveal the entirety of her ensemble as she moves seductively to a bass-heavy house beat.

Standing before a mirror, the star shows off her enviably toned physique as she dances around in the plunging high-cut one-piece, which boasts a front zip feature and is cinched at the waist with a pink belt.

Displaying her agility as she performs stretches and cartwheels, the star is seen wearing a bold palette of makeup that includes multicoloured eye shadow, while her voluminous raven tresses rest about her shoulders.
