No one will ever say that making a documentary is a bad idea when the cast includes two supermodels like Coco Rocha and Behati Prinsloo, which is why James Conran’s Letters to Haiti is already being talked about long before its September 2011 release. Rocha recently leaked the teaser trailer for the documentary—about journeying to Haiti with hundreds of pen-pal letters—to her Facebook fans and posted it on her Tumblr, generating more social media buzz than most documentaries ever will.

Boy George presents Coco Rocha with the Elle Style Award for Best Model. Click image to watch the video.

Coco Rocha, the Canadian model who recently returned from a charitable trip to Haiti with model bestie Behati Prinsloo, was in London this weekend for something decidedly more fashion-world: the Elle Style Awards, where she was bestowed with the title of best model. The award comes only four months after Marie Claire named Rocha 2010’s model of the year.

The honour was presented to her by Boy George, and it seems the two have become e-buddies since. Rocha started off by teasing the singer about having more followers than him (61,732 to 48,646 at last count), to which the karma chameleon gamely (and somewhat cryptically) replied that her “mum is lovely” and has “great eyes.”

Check out Rocha’s blog, Oh So Coco! for a video of her receiving the award.

No sooner had we reached the top of our social climb, joining Westons and Queen Westers alike, when we heard a dismayed gasp coming from a woman staring at Coco Rocha.

Rocha, co-star of the Holt Renfrew shopping vignettes, which played on a screen during the party, slinking about in a raven, plume-shouldered gown designed by Greta Constantine. Reportedly set to wear a dress from another local designer, it seemed she’d pulled a fast one. So, just as quickly, we found our inner modelizer and chatted up Canada’s super sweetheart to get the scoop.

TIFF.TO: So, unexpected question. What are you wearing?
COCO: Greta Constantine, of course! These are my boys. (Gestures to designers Kirk Pickersgill and Stephen Wong, clustered among her halo of admirers.)
TIFF.TO: Not Pink Tartan?
COCO: Pardon?
TIFF.TO: Never mind. Are you excited for your movie debut?
COCO: Well, it’s not really a movie. It’s just me and my BFF [model Behati Prinsloo] fooling around. It’s fun.
TIFF.TO: A lot of real movie actresses say they won’t watch themselves on screen.
COCO: Why not?
TIFF.TO: Oh, who knows? That’s just what serious actresses like to say.
COCO: But I can’t be serious! I’m happy to see it, yeah. It’s really fun.
