They all had that expression because they were being forced to wear such ridiculous clothing. Also, that was popularly known as a "smoldering gaze". It's a fierce/ haughty/ slightly angry look that conveys an intense sexual cue. Many of the models look like they want to kick someone's ass because they DID want to kick someone's ass. Really. No kidding around. Not every model can naturally access that inner fire and then it's the photographer's job to bring it out of them.
Having served as a photographer's understudy/ gopher/ minion/ etc. I've seen it done first-hand. It wasn't very nice and, yeah, the male models DID want to beat the ever-lovin' bejeezus out of someone by the end of some of those shoots.

If you'd seen Zoolander, you'd know that is "blue steel."
