For over a decade, Gigi Hadid has established herself as a powerhouse in the fashion industry. Since her rise to fame in the mid-2010s, she has graced the runways of prestigious cities including New York, Paris, and Milan, becoming an iconic figure of her generation. As she celebrates her 31st birthday on April 23, Gigi continues to masterfully juggle her successful career as a leading model and her role as a dedicated mother.
From unforgettable appearances at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show to collaborations with renowned designers such as Marc Jacobs and Michael Kors, Gigi has showcased countless memorable runway looks over the years. To pay tribute to her birthday, we are reflecting on some of her most stunning catwalk moments that have left an indelible mark on the fashion scene.
Experience the Glamour of the Jacquemus Menswear Show from January 2020
Unbeknownst to the world at the time, Gigi Hadid was already expecting when she graced the runway for the Jacquemus Menswear Show during Paris Fashion Week in January 2020. She exuded confidence and elegance while strutting in a stunning white dress that featured a daring thigh-high slit and luxurious silky fabric. A year later, Gigi reflected on this iconic look on Instagram, prompting a fan to inquire if she was aware of her pregnancy at that moment.
“Yes, I found out the day before the Tom Ford show,” Gigi disclosed. “I was feeling extremely nauseous backstage. However, I discovered that I could manage it by eating consistently, so my mother would pack snacks for me before each show.” She humorously included bread and cheese emojis to symbolize her favorite snacks during that time. News of Gigi’s pregnancy surfaced in April 2020, and she joyfully welcomed her daughter, Khai, in September.
Relive the Excitement of the 2018 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show
Gigi made her mark at the 2018 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, showcasing an incredible ensemble featuring a chic plaid look from one of the brand’s collections. Her runway appearance was accentuated by a striking plaid skirt and towering, knee-high heels that added an extra flair. To complete her stunning outfit, she accessorized with a fashionable fanny pack and a sparkling diamond necklace, while her hair cascaded in loose curls, enhancing her glamorous appeal.
Discover the Allure of Milan Fashion Week 2019
During Milan Fashion Week in September 2019, Gigi captivated audiences while modeling for Versace.
