Penn posed for photographer Tony Duran for a partially nude cover and an interior layout[16] in the seventh, 2014 Spring/Summer, issue of the erotica and fine arts magazine treats!, released in April 2014. Penn said, "I have always loved his black and white nudes, they were always so tastefully done and, more specifically, showed that certain elegant yet strong beauty that I think all women embody".[17] [9] Within weeks of the issue's release, Penn signed a new modeling contract with Premier Model Management to represent her in the United Kingdom.[18] [19]

Penn appeared at No. 68 on the Maxim annual Hot 100 list in 2014,[20] [21] and at No. 93 in the AskMen.com 99 Most Desirable Women list that same year.[22] In June 2014, she filmed a role in the music video for the Nick Jonas song "Chains" at the Hotel Alexandria.[23] [24] Three months later, Penn and Poppy Delevingne played biker women in Rock Roll Ride,[25] a short film for shoe designer Stuart Weitzman, directed by Julia Restoin Roitfeld, for Paris Fashion Week.[26] [27] She appeared on the cover of L'Officiel that December and the cover of Asos in August 2015.[28] The following January, Penn and her younger brother, Hopper, did their first joint fashion modeling campaign together,[29] eventually making media appearances at Milan Fashion Week.[30]
