She’s a California girl through and through, known for her long limbs, windswept blonde hair and lightly tanned skin.
But Gigi Hadid made a sophisticated entrance with her hair tied up in a тιԍнт chignon at the W Magazine Luncheon on Saturday.
The 19-year-old showed off her figure in a white peekaboo dress that revealed her toned stomach, but was a mature past-the-knee length.
It was a formal look for Gigi, who kept both jewellery and makeup to a minimum: only a thin bracelet and a small pendant peeping out from her dress.
As for the dress itself, the white fabric was almost sheer and left a trapezoidal peephole over Gigi’s upper stomach for a bit of skin-revealing flair.
While the dress was actually fairly conservative, that peekaboo cut gave Gigi an air of daring that added to the overall effect.
The entire outfit was pure white except for the shoes, which featured some metallic black and gold accents.
The model posed alongside 20-year-old actress Nicola Peltz at the Los Angeles function.
Gigi’s ultra-modern and sophisticated look created an interesting contrast to Nicola’s gorgeous baby-doll dress.
Her hair loose and waved over the shoulders, the Transformers: Age Of Extinction actress’ gown was short and тιԍнт, featuring capped sleeves and a high, rounded neckline.
Metallic hues of black, white, and blue provided for a fascinatingly complex outfit.
Although a busy university student at New York’s New School, Gigi has kept up and even extended her modelling career over the past few years.
Vogue gave the young model a featured pH๏τo-shoot – one that touched on both fashion and Israeli-Palestinian politics – back in August.
Sports Illustrated named Gigi one of its 12 rookies in the magazine’s 2014 annual issue.
In addition to everything else, Gigi has been known to pop up on The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills, on which her mother, Yolanda Foster, is a cast regular.
