Gigi Hadid

Gigi Hadid is an American fashion model who has walked the runway for the biggest fashion designers in the industry. She has graced the covers of 'Vogue,' 'Teen Vogue,' 'Harper's Bazaar,' 'Elle,' and 'Glamour.'

Standing at a height of 5-feet-10-inches — and boasting more than 39 million Instagram followers — Los Angeles-born Gigi Hadid (real name Jelena Noura Hadid) first began modeling when she was two years old. Born in 1995, Hadid is the daughter of model Yolanda Hadid, a former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star. She focused on competitive horseback riding and playing volleyball at Malibu High School before turning her attention back to modeling at 17 years old. Hadid has gone on to work with brands ranging from Tom Fordand Versace to Reebok and Victoria's Secret. She has continued her success with nonstop appearances on international fashion magazine covers and on the runways at every major fashion week. 

Gigi has credited Bella, who famously dated singer The Weeknd, as being a source of her strength. “She’s so understanding of the demands of this job, and it’s really great that I can talk to her about it,” she told Harper's Bazaar. “Because a lot of the time I feel suffocated by my own work ethic and by the expectations I put on myself. It’s really nice when you have people who say, ‘It’s okay to take time for yourself.’”

In addition to two older, paternal half-sisters (Marielle and Alana), Hadid also had five stepsisters during her mom's marriage to music producer David Foster, including Erin and Sara Foster, the stars of VH1's Barely Famous.
