As one of the most successful supermodels across the last decade, Gigi Hadid has naturally also become a fashion industry one-to-watch, both on the runway and off. Hadid’s style evolution began with red carpet events and front row fits, then practical street style athleisure and now, most recently, a becoming of self – a personal style that’s considered and still retains her signature laid-back Californian energy.

Below, we take a look back at Gigi Hadid’s style from her early career to now.

2016

Gigi Hadid had her modelling breakthrough in 2014, after appearing in CR Fashion Book and starring in multiple Tom Ford campaigns. By 2016, she had progressed from runway to front row – here attending the Versus Versace show at London Fashion Week, Hadid’s preference for a relaxed aesthetic shines.

Particularly early on in their careers, the Hadid sisters would often attend events together, often synchronising their looks to complement (similar to the Jenner sisters). At the Glamour Women Of The Year Awards, Gigi wore Zuhair Murad, an intricate lace gown that was a modest take on the naked dress, paired with Lorraine Schwartz jewels and metallic pumps by Christian Louboutin. Meanwhile, Bella chose an asymmetrical bustier under awhite suit by Cristina Ottaviano. Silver, and gold.

2018

During their relationship, Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik would often couple-dress. Here on a night out in New York, Hadid wore a PVC coat by Helmut Lang, and both went for Matrix-inspired eyewear.

Hadid’s off duty style is often laid-back, but here – heading out in NYC – the model brought back the ‘party top’ (our 2010s favourite), wearing a cropped, chiffon piece by Tia Adeola’s label, Slashed By Tia.

For the 2018 Met Gala, ‘Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination’, Hadid wore Versace – a glittering, angelic creation by Donatella Versace. Hadid hinted at her choice earlier in the day, sharing a personal note from Versace on Instagram. “Gigi, can’t wait to see you at the Met. Enjoy another robe for the collection,” the note read.

The gown was inspired by stained glass window designs of churches.

This tangerine look (is it red? Is it orange?) worn out in New York by Hadid in 2018 is reflective of the model’s street style across the year – dipping her toe into trends without necessarily committing to any as a signature. Here, she dabbled with monochromatic dressing in a silk top, velvet and lace bell-bottoms and a longline leather jacket.

Out in Paris, Hadid chose a Fendi dress teamed with the fashion house’s popular cream cowboy boots.

2019

For her 24th birthday party, Gigi Hadid chose a denim theme – what else, given her love for the material in her down time. While sister Bella went for a full Canadian tuxedo look, Hadid  just popped on her favourite distressed jeans, some Doc Martens and a lived-in jacket. Effortless style, personified.

Hadid’s outfit for the 2019 Met Gala ‘Camp: Notes On Fashion’ was a Michael Kors creation that may be her best for the event yet. A sequinned, fitted jumpsuit with matching platform boots was paired with a floor-length coat with graduated feathering and a matching headpiece and silver lashes that perfected the look (even if they seem wildly uncomfortable to wear).

For Bella Hadid’s birthday, Gigi cut a very casual figure in a Wesley tie-dye tracksuit and Reebok sneakers. The birthday was low-key, hence the athleisure – the sisters were joined by Dua Lipa and other friends for a painting class.
