I never realised how broad her shoulders were before. They make her head look disproportionately small in comparison!

Even when she was at a lower weight I found it noticeable, maybe it's because her neck is also quite short?

“Corps & Lames,” Vogue Paris February 2005

I don’t think I’ve seen this full editorial on SG (just the cover), but it’s one of my absolute favorites from Gemma.

Gemma at Australian Fashion Week in Sydney a couple of days ago...(brace yourselves)

Because of @olympia I felt like looking at a few Gemma oldies again.
How was such an adorable face even possible? And her body was sooo good.
Here's Gemma being art:

(I just had to include the last one, it will never get boring!)

Gemma runway moments in 2004 - imo one of her better years skinny-wise. Apologies for the quality of a lot of the photos, it’s incredibly hard to find HQ pics from that season.

Valentino Ready to Wear SS04

Valentino Haute Couture SS04

Martine Sitbon FW04

Gucci FW04

These are great finds!
The Valentino HC picture set is dreamy, the pale fabric and the floatiness combined with her complexion is just so lovely, and the arm in the second picture makes me want to cry for what she’s turned into now.
Her face looked so stunning at this weight. I know she was much younger then so obviously she looks young, but her bone structure and face shape is so neotenous it’s such a great look on the runway.

Feeling nostalgic for baby Gemma, so here's one of my favorite Gemma editorials:
"...And God Created Woman" by Karl Lagerfeld, Harper's Bazaar, March 2006

Bumping this thread because I found some close-ups and backstage shots of Gemma from her earlier modelling days.
These are very old pictures from 2003-2004, so I apologise for the poor quality.

Adding to this, because I've always found her so incredibly stunning and inspiring despite her only being up to SGF standards for a little while. Anyways, some of my favourites:

Though she now renounces these days, I do not have it in me to get over them! She brought such an effortless grace to her fae appearance, as seen in these "candids" (backstage, street style):
