Gigi Hadid, by profession, is a chameleon. Whether she’s walking a runway or starring in a global fashion campaign, she’s always ready to step into character and help bring a designer’s vision to life. But while her job is to be a blank canvas, Hadid’s off-duty style is bold, bright, and totally singular.
While we can always count on her to wear something colorful, classic model style serves as the base of Hadid’s wardrobe. White tees and jeans are often the jumping-off point, elevated with stacks of charm necklaces or brightly hued sweaters. (It certainly helps that her cashmere brand, Guest in Residence, is at her disposal, there to liven up any look.)
Over her many years in the public eye, Hadid’s fashion sense has stayed largely consistent: eclectic and fun-loving—a mix of supermodel and California kid.
In Elements of Style, we’re distilling a celebrity’s fashion sense into its most basic components. Here, we break down the five key pieces in Gigi Hadid’s closet.
Sumptuous Knits
It comes as no surprise that a woman with a cashmere line wears a lot of knitwear. Whether she’s in a trendy robe coat or a tried-and-true pullover, Hadid’s wide-reaching knitwear collection infuses plenty of color into her wardrobe.
What: Guest in Residence (duh), Erika Maish x Copycats
Where: Out and about in New York, a Guest in Residence pop-up in Seoul, Los Angeles store opening
Wear it with: A bucket hat, a fuzzy miniskirt, loafers, Uggs
Leather Jackets
An eternal closet staple, Hadid has a leather jacket for every occasion. Blazers, bikers, bombers—you name it, she’s got it.
What: Acne Studios, Holzweiler, Worn Vintage
Where: A romantic London stroll, Paris Fashion Week, Brooklyn
Wear it with: Cashmere pants, Taylor Swift merch, slip-on Uggs, a white T-shirt
Statement-Making Headwear
As any good model knows, sun protection is key. While Hadid is fond of trucker caps (from her Disneyland Paris hat to her Rebalance), she’s also been known to venture into the bold. See: the fuzzy, canary yellow bucket hat she paired with a matching cozy jacket.
What: Rebalance, Tag Heuer x Kith, a Yankees cap
Where: An ice cream run, Bradley Cooper’s Philly cheesesteak truck, a fuzzy coat
