With a model mom and a famous family tree, it’s no surprise that good style runs through Gigi Hadid’s blood. While off-duty, the model often opts for a Californian tomboy aesthetic, when she hits the red carpet, it’s all glamour, all the time. From custom Zac Posen creations to Atelier Versace works of art, Hadid knows how to make every red carpet a spotlight moment as she fully embodies the aesthetic of each look. The model has an appreciation for clothes that shines through when she models them on the red carpet, and that’s likely also why she’s been so successful with her own design endeavors. Hadid has come a long way over the past decade, and in honor of her 29th birthday, we figured it would be fun to see just how much she has grown into herself as she has honed her own red carpet style. From Prabal Gurung pantsuits to fresh off-the-runway Valentino, there’s no denying that Hadid has been a style star from day one.
