Gigi Hadid (born April 23, 1995) is an American supermodel and businesswoman recognized for runway range, commercial reach and pop-cultural visibility. After a mid-2010s breakthrough (Tommy Hilfiger, Versace, Fendi), she remains active across beauty and fashion while building the knitwear label Guest in Residence. In 2025 she balanced major editorial and show moments with brand-building and parenting.[1][5][8][10]
