Gigi Hadid was destined for fashion stardom. Since signing with IMG Models in 2013, the supermodel mom has dominated runways, campaigns and editorials, landing over 35 international Vogue covers (including Vogue Hong Kong’s first) in a career that spans much less than you would expect for such grand feats. What comes as no surprise however, is Hadid’s insanely good style.

An obvious source of closet envy for many, Hadid has an inherent knack for throwing together effortless ensembles that stand out even amongst New York’s most fashionable crowds. Displaying extreme versatility and an acute sense of what flatters her, Hadid’s bold street style provides masterclasses in accessorising, colour theory, and the art of layering. With the help of celebrity stylist Mimi Cuttrell, she’s built a wardrobe rooted in preppy staples, with playful accessories (Jacquie Aiche and Susan Alexandra are favourites) and chic standout pieces to give room for exploration. This same experimental streak also runs through Hadid’s red carpet looks. She’s worn everything from daring bombshell dresses and figure-hugging Versace catsuits, to sculptural high-glamour gowns and eccentric takes on a classic suit.

Whether it’s resurrecting the reign of denim maxi skirts and single earrings, or proudly rocking vibrant, whimsy knits from her brand Guest In Residence, Hadid seems to remember that the key to fashion is to simply have fun with it.
