Miranda Kerr’s Snapchat story might be the only Snap IPO coverage you need

I’m just kidding, please also read ours.

For Miranda Kerr — a model, fashion icon and soon-to-be wife of Snapchat co-founder Evan Spiegel — the Snap IPO is an exciting affair. Her fiance, who announced their engagement via Bitmoji, is, after all, about to take his company public (and become very, very rich).

(Here’s a full breakdown of the Snapchat IPO if you want more detailed coverage.)

So Kerr isn’t missing a beat. Front and center at the New York Stock Exchange, the model is capturing all the Snap IPO action as it’s happening and posting it directly to her Snapchat story. Where else?

Sadly, she’s not wearing Snapchat’s Spectacles to do this, but I guess we’ll let that slide.

Here are some of those pictures:
