Congrats, readers! LCNY is bringing back our Monthly Muse column, because who doesn’t love a little envy-inspo from our favorite stars?! This month’s Muse is no other than the stunning Gigi (Jelena) Hadid. Not only, is she ‘sent from the heavens’ gorgeous, but she’s got everyone’s jaws dropping because of her killer street style and A-list campaigns.
Although she’s the model of the moment, Gigi started her modeling career at the ripe age of two. She was two years old and modeled for her first ad campaign with Guess. Since then, she’s modeled for them three times and is face of the popular brand, signing with IMG Models.

In 2014, Hadid debuted in her very first runway show, for Desigual. Soon after, Gigi walked for A-list designers, popular brands, and was signed for many beauty campaigns. To name a few, Gigi has been linked to Balmain, Jeremy Scott, Victoria’s Secret (her dream show!), Anna Sui, D&G, and most recently Chanel.

Not only has she walked in the greatest runway shows of all time, but she’s done so with grace. Honestly, who doesn’t want to be friends with this girl? She graduated from Malibu High School, started college at New York’s very own New School, however put her education on hold due to her high demand in both the fashion and beauty industry.
Having an avid social life is important for any 20 year old. However, Gigi’s social circle is not one for the faint of heart. Yes, she is best friends with Kendall Jenner, another it-girl. KenGi is their nick name and as if that dynamic duo doesn’t do it for you, Gigi is also part of a killer squad of Taylor Swift which includes Cara Delevingne, Lily Aldridge, and Karlie Kloss. Can we be in her #squad?

Gigi Hadid is the talk of the town. Recently starring in ex-member of One Direction Zayn Malik’s new music video, she’s got the job, the squad, and the man. The song is SO good! But this isn’t her first rockstar boyfriend, recently dated Joe Jonas and had a long relationship with Cody Simpson.

While she’s got it all, she proves time and time again that working girls are strong and beautiful beings. We have to work for what we want ladies! That being said, it doesn’t hurt to have a friend like Gigi as your go-to girl. We love you, Gigi!
Yours in Style,
