NO GIGI NO NO NO. As many of you may know, I genuinely like Gigi Hadid. I think she’s got a great look and I think she’s one of the best of the current crop of “Insta-models.” She reminds me of a young Doutzen Kroes or Carolyn Murphy or Claudia Schiffer. But Gigi dramatically changed up her look for the MTV Movie Awards and now… it’s just painful.
There are inevitably comments along the lines of “why do you hate bangs so much?” This is a good example of why I hate bangs on most (but not all) women. Bangs completely changed her face in a really terrible way. They make her look older and they make her face look plastic/Botoxed/wider. There’s some debate about whether they’re clip-in bangs, and while I sincerely hope they are, I’m not convinced. The uneven nature of the bangs around the sides make me think that her hairstylist convinced her to actually cut her hair like this. As for the fashion… she wore a Versace power suit and it’s fine. I don’t love it or hate it.
While Gigi was on the red carpet at this event, she chatted with E! News about her Vogue editorial with her boyfriend Zayn Malik. I absolutely loved those photos – go here to see. And I do think Gigi’s E! interview was charming – she’s so obviously love-drunk. She told E!:
“I wish I could be on set with him every day. It doesn’t feel like work when he’s there. It was really fun. We had the best time. It was an adventure to go where we shot it….He is a very good model. He’s so naturally good looking. The problem is he can do anything, he can change his hair color a million times and looks great. He doesn’t need much help.”
And while fans love to see these two showcase their love for one another in front of the camera, the 20-year-old admits that she’s not sure you’ll see her in another one of his music videos after “Pillowtalk.” Gigi tells us, “Not sure about another. We got one done. I think it’s important for artists to change creativity throughout each music video. Maybe in a couple of years.”
Regardless, the beauty says “Pillowtalk” will always hold a special place in her heart. “It was fun for us. We just started dating. It’s cute to look back. We were into each other and flirting the whole day.”
I sort of want Gigi and Zayn to be together forever. Do you think that will happen? Probably not. I also get the feeling that Gigi’s close friends aren’t all on-board with her relationship, which is always difficult at that age. Still, let’s enjoy Gigi and Zayn while they last.

I like the bangs on her. They are probably clip ons. Pretty girl.
Same. Its not her fringe making her look older ( and I dont really think she does ?) but her outfit is … while kinda risque with the bra is a bit too mature for her.
She embraces the 70’s revival very well and has the retro face for it too! I love it.
I think the bangs look terrible 😮 Usually I think Kaiser is unfairly biased against bangs, but in this case I have to agree with her. 🙁
Her hair looks crazy brittle and I can’t tell if it is a wig or a girl with bad hair that needs pity on them.
She kinda looks like a budget Taylor though
MY EXACT THOUGHT @ tegteg. I love bangs but something about this is a NO from me. First time i’ve witnessed the phrase “bang trauma” and i like Gigi. 🙁
The bangs are bad….why is her face so puffy?? Now it seems Bella is more beautiful. She had a really good nose job.
It look’s like a wig.I think she is a pretty girl.Quit hanging out with Kendall.You are model material.
@tegteg hear hear. I’m usually a bangs apologist, but Gigi’s bangs are TERRIBLE.
My first thought was I hope they’re clip on because OH GOD, what do people have against a BLUNT FRINGE??? It would look a thousand times better than these stupid wispy fringes that aren’t deep enough on the sides and just look bad. All around bad.
I love them too, but I think 99% of people look better with bangs.
I dunno. She’s gorgeous and I love bangs! But she has seriously high eyebrows and the fringe just makes them look higher making her look incredibly vapid. I’ve never seen a haircut transform someone’s head into ‘bimbo’ status.
THIS (@Miffy). She looks so vacant. I had bangs trauma once, and having soft hair AND high eyebrows it’s just not working for me.
Yeah, I don’t mind the bangs. I think it’s either a wig or clip ons, though.
I like her, too. She has an expressive face; seems like she will have a long career if she wants it. She seems so much livelier than Kendull.
At 7:28 am I liked her look. At 2:45 pm she looks like Barbie on acid.
Wig
Yes.
Yeah, it looks like a wig. The short hair when she has squad-ing with T.Swift was also a wig, then her & Kendall in Paris wearing wigs again. They love their wigs.
Yep, wig. She would not have done this long term. Too risky.
She looks like a blow up doll. And her face is very generic to me in that overdone Hollywood way.
She’s very ‘vacant’ looking, isn’t she? Like there’s nothing much going on upstairs.
Bangs are fine and I like the suit.
Sad Barbie is sad
It it truly beyond me how these girls are models. I would not be induced to buy anything they are selling. These girls literally have a dead-eyed glassy, unfocused, glazed look that is beyond disconcerting.
My first thought too. She looks like a blow up doll. Vacant dumb eyes and open mouth. I’m so tired of this look, it seems to be all this generation of girls know to do.
This.
Also, a “young Doutzen”? Uh no, Gigi’s not even in the same hemisphere in terms of beauty.
I don’t think she looks generic. She’s blonde but her eye area is actually middle eastern looking. To me she is way more exotic looking then someone like Doutzen who looks like the typical pretty wholesome blonde.
I agree Leah, she’s more exotic looking than Doutzen . Although the bangs are awful and really aging her and giving her face a weird shape.
Exotic or not, Doutzen is FAR more beautiful.
I think Gigi is way prettier than Doutzen who, to me, looks kind of generically beautiful.
Leah – yes, it’s the eyes that actually make her look so unusual. You don’t see eyes like those on the average All-American McModel type.
and the Middle Eastern ancestry becomes a touch more apparent when she’s in profile – see the pic of her in those red trousers on the back of Zayn’s bike in the Vogue shoot, you’ll know what I mean.
Untalented she may be, but generic-looking? Hell no.
I saw the bangs and I was like NOPE.
I find Gigi basic and boring much like her bff Kendall. Just zero personality to me.
Her and Zayn will last as long as she allows him to cheat on her. So however long that is.
Yeah, the intentional blow-up doll makeup and expression is pissing me off way more than the bangs.
Exactly. Nothing there. No lights in her eyes. Too bad.
Kaiser, you are one of my favorite people in the world, but you just aren’t objective when it comes to bangs. She looks fine.
I STRONGLY DISAGREE! (lol)
I know! I want to know the name of the bangs that traumatized you so! And how old you were when it happened! Lol
I am 100% with Kaiser on this one. (My bangs trauma happened at 13. I had just started to get interested in boys and then my mom dragged me to get a haircut… the criminal hairdresser who did it made me look like a… well, you know the way the guys were “styled” for Dumb and Dumber? Yeah, like that. Horrible.)
But I disagree with her on Gigi being special. Sorry, not seeing it. Great body for sure, but she just looks like a dead-eyed zombie every time. And like nothing is happening upstairs. I still think that if she had a different last name, she would be at best booking catalog jobs.
I was coming to say the same thing GNAT lol. You’re biased against bangs, Kaiser.
Anyone who has spent YEARS growing out bangs that took some idiot hairdresser (self?) two seconds to cut, will understand Kaiser’s wrath.
I’m teetering on, “Meh”, leaning toward “Eh”.
She looks better without the strange vapid facial expression.
What a sad doll face. I don’t get it – why do these naturally (or not so naturally) attractive you women attempt to look like artificial 35 year olds? Who could ever find such a sad plastic face attractive?
They are emulating She Who Must Not Be Named.
So true. And so sad to see that this “look” is becoming a new beauty standard.
i think she is a stunningly beautiful girl and the bangs suit her. love the yellow and black shirt too.
They look good on her, but still she looks like a budget Bridget Bardot. She doesn’t even come close to Bridget Bardot in amazingness with bangs. Gigi’s looks are more average in comparison.
I find her completely average as well. She has a great body for sure but her face is so meh to me.
@Kitten you’re just jealous because she got your favourite poolboy for keeps 🙂

“For keeps” usually translates to a few months among the twenty-something set. I’ll be waiting here waiting when it inevitably implodes.
No no no!
Maybe it would look better if the hair was up in a ponytail, but like this she looks completly plastic.
She looks like she’s been roofied.
ha ha
Her face is too flat to suit a fringe.
She reminds me of Kate Hudson when she did that awful film with Anne Hathaway about two best friends getting married the same day? She had a fringe in it too and it looked like her hairdresser had played a prank on her.
Funny you say that – she reminded me of Kate’s mother, Goldie Hawn, when she was young.
came on here to say the same. First glance I totally thought of Goldie Hawn in her younger days.
THIS!!^^^ I couldn’t place who she reminded me of, because her face is so…plastic/immobile. If she had any facial expressions, she would remind me of young Goldie. I don’t get this girl or her sister at all.
Yes, I see a young Goldie Hawn, too! But the bangs are just awful–she has a very round face, and I don’t think bangs are either necessary or flattering on round faces. (JMO.)
I knew b4 I opened the post what Kaiser would have to say about the “bangs trauma” but I think she looks gorgeous in a Brigette Bardot kind of way. She and Zayn are scorching!
I am suffering Bangz trauma right now.
I have very thick poufy hair and like a nice side sweep. I tried a new hair salon in town and got a mullet w super short bangs. It’s so dated looking, like when Kate Middleton had the bang aka fringe wings last year and it was at its worst.
Please tell me time will speed up and they will grow. I have to give speeches at work w this date mess on my head! Pray to the hair gods!
😨 poor kid. Can you wear a headband? Or slick them under your hair somehow? I bet you look cute and don’t even know it. They will grow back. 🙏🏻
Ooof. Those bangs… I do have thoughts though- cutting the bangs eliminated a lot of the bright blonde that framed her face, they are quite dark. Perhaps lighten them a few shades, it would soften the look. Secondly, she is wearing a much stronger makeup look than usual with heavy contouring and a strong lip. I think her usual fresh face would take off 10 years. She is still so beautiful.
Good lord she looks high as a kite in a couple shots.
As much as I love you Kaiser, agree to disagree on those comparisons to Doutzen, Claudia and Carolyn. No, just no.
Pretty girl, takes great pictures, but her walking hasn’t gotten better in the year(s) she’s been modeling. It’s cringe worthy how far a name goes.
Nope to the bangs. I don’t like this on her. Doutzen runs circles around her as a model. Claudia? Seriously? Carolyn Murphy? Too far there Kaiser.
Gigi is very pretty but I still don’t see her as high fashion but more swimsuit/commercial. As Nepogram models go she is one of the better as far as looks.
Her spread with Zayn animated her in ways she can’t do alone. Usually she’s flat and it seems like she knows it somewhat. I do wish them longevity just because they are cute together and she seems in love.
I said the same above.
🙂
She never has life in her eyes and her poses are very basic. There is nothing compelling about her. I keep thinking if she had some life and ability, she would make a good looking actress.
The three mentioned still out do Gigi now. The two supers are coming back again because there isn’t anyone new out there killing it anymore.
She looks like Marianne Faithful circa 1967. I just don’t find her interesting at all.
The cut of the bangs are horrendous…but she looks gorgeous to me. To be truthful, I never realized just how beautiful she is until now.
She looks like Heather Locklear.
We think that she is wearing a wig. It doesn’t add or subtract from her natural beauty.
But, we like her without bangs.
I think her hair looks great!
Real Doll realness.
Not into her bangs but i am surprised everyone is comparing her to these european looking models and actresses. I totally see her middle eastern roots in these photos. Put dark hair on her and she would look palestinian.
I don’t think that her face has the bone structure for this haircut.
She looks like a younger version of Ellen Pompeo to me. That’s what I see when I see her face.
Maybe Pompeo’s face is more angular because of age.
The Spontaneous BRAY i just had upon scrolling down and seeing this picLOLOLOL
Oh Honey No, I don’t even like you and Im tsk tsk ing like a nana having pity pains for you
A young Schieffer? Ugh.
I’m sorry but all I see when I see her is a privileged, talentless, not very bright girl, with a very generic look. Her face is not even that stunning in my opinion (dead eyes, puffy cheeks and tiny forehead). She is NOT model material, just like Kendall Jenner.
I’m getting Taylor Dayne pre-tell it to my heart.
Fashion zombie.
It’s not the bangs, she’s bland. That is all.
She has more of a girlish beauty, despite being quite tall.
So average looking
With the bangs, she looks exactly like Goldie Hawn in the early 70’s. Which is to say, gorgeous.

I like the bangs but I think they’d look better with a shorter cut or a bob
Every time I see the photo of the homepage she looks eerily lifeless. It’s a bit creepy. Like Lars and The Real Girl or something.
With that blank expression with dead eyes, she looks like a Real Doll.
Creepy.
Pretty girl but forgettable. She’s got nice pouty lips and I like her eyes but she has no real distinctive/distinguishing features ya know?
The bangs are fine but I’m pretty sure it’s a wig.
Call me crazy but when she’s not smiling I get a vintage 80’s Ellen Barkin Vibe.
There is an 80’s photo, easily googled hair is similar, white suit with rose in lapel.
Not smiling…reminds me SO MUCH of this look.
Love me some vintage Ellen.
Let’s pray they’re clip ons.
Otherwise, her mother won’t be the only one in that family with suicidal tendencies.
The thing she does with her lips and her overall mouth area creeps me out ewww like a fish or something
she’s a beautiful girl but looks a bit like she’s had a lobotomy in these photos!
