Gigi Hadid covers the March issue of British Vogue and this cover shot was so close to being good. Like, it’s not even Gigi’s fault! She’s giving FACE and her pose is great and everything. I have no idea why the editor chose to crop the photo right at her forehead. It just seems like such a bad editorial decision. Massive sidenote: this is likely the last cover – or one of the last covers – from British Vogue editor-in-chief Alexandra Shulman. She recently announced that she’s stepping down. I suspect it was that awful editorial she did with the Duchess of Cambridge, honestly. Back to Gigi though… the editorial could have been great, but it isn’t. Plus, the Hadids are really trying to make Little Brother Anwar happen now, so he joined Gigi for the Mario Testino shoot too. So far, only a handful of quotes have been released. Enjoy:
How she spends time with Zayn Malik: “When I’m in LA I mostly stay in because it’s my time off and I like being with my boyfriend and doing art and cooking. We like late-night movies and we order from this amazing place that does lattes and gingerbread cookies. I need coffee to stay up. I’m always like, ‘Babe, let’s go to a movie.’ Then I fall asleep halfway through and he’s like, ‘You’ve seen the first half of every movie out there and you have no idea how any of them end.’”
Being criticized for losing weight & writing an open letter about it: “The response was crazy. From Victoria’s Secret Angels to my friends who are considered plus size, everyone texted me and said they appreciated me saying something. The world puts so much pressure on fashion, then judges models for succumbing to that pressure.”

I don’t understand people who can fall asleep during a movie. Is that weird? Like, if I’m tired, I’ll just turn off the movie and go to bed. If I’m in a theater, I’m either going to stay until the bitter end or I’ll just leave (JK, I never leave, I’d feel like I wasted my money). How does Gigi sleep in a theater so consistently? And what does Zayn do when Gigi routinely passes out in a movie theater? Does he just hang out and watch the rest of the movie? As for “doing art and cooking.” I don’t know. Doing art whilst cooking breakfast beans, I suspect.

DOING ART?
oh boy..
Her brother is so painfully average looking to me. He has nice clothes. Maybe become a stylist. Why is model at the top of everyone’s nepotism career goal? So many other more creative avenues within the entertainment industry
I think she meant she likes to stay in and then falls asleep watching movies, on her couch. My husband does it every time. Still sitting up and hasn’t moved, but fast asleep.
i am not a Gigi (or Bella or Kendall) fan. But I do that too. Knowing that the weekend is there, and feeling relaxed I fall asleep in front of the tv happily, more than I would in bed. I try to drag myself and stay up to enjoy the weekend, but falling asleep in front of the tv is relaxing, I get it. My mom is the same, and my dad always jokes that we don´t know the ending of many movies as a result. My brother is the same too 🙂
Having said this, I wouldn´t sleep in the cinema as movie tickets are expensive these days (I did once, but I was SO jetlagged I didn´t mean to)
I think she’s saying they watch movies at home and she falls asleep, if I was lying next to Zayn sleeping wouldn’t be possible. I have a soft spot for Gigi
but that “doing art ” comment comes across as a little pretentious.
I’m always falling asleep in movies both at home and in the theater.
I just went recently with my sister to the cinema in what was her first “night out” after getting a baby…ye, she fell asleep 15min after the movie started, what i totally understood…For the first time, I also fell asleep somewhen in the last minutes. When i woke up i had no idea what was Darth Vader doing there and all the important ending details of the last Star Wars movie…Lesson learnt. I’m getting older and too tired to not fall asleep in the cinema anymore…but it was a good nap ehehehe 🙂
Me too! It drives me crazy! No matter how hard I try to stay awake, I can’t!
I’ve noticed they’re trying to make the brother happen too. He’s been papped out and about with Nicola Petz a few times. I wouldn’t be surprised if they try to hook him up with someone more famous too. It worked for the sisters. I guess modeling is the easiest way to become famous if you don’t have any talent. That or reality TV, like the mum.
Isn’t Nicola Petz the really bratty daughter of a billionaire too? Looks like that nepotism career in Hollywood didn’t work out…
Literally every interview she does she name drops Zayn. I get that she’s young and he’s cute, but get a new hobby girl. Almost every question leads back to him. She’s slightly better than Kendall, but it would be really nice to have diversity in modeling now.
I think she has beautiful bone structure and expressive eyebrows. And pretty eyes.
I wish I was a model
For those who are nostalgic of the 90’s models I think she really is striking like they were: photogenic and a not your everyday face. I don’t give a crap about models but I like her vibe.
I mean, in photos. The interview… YAWN.
yeah, she is not Generic Blonde/Brunette #23528191, there’s at least something about her face that lets you remember it.
I remember first seeing her in ads in a Guess outlet, had no idea who she was at the time but her face was distinctive enough to stick. It’s a huge asset for her.
Gigi has interesting face that’s a mix of Palestinian and European. She has the cute face. Her interviews are so boring tho.
