Around the Met Gala, there were a lot of rumors about Bella and Gigi Hadid and whether they had gotten the Covid vaccine. Gigi attended the gala, which means she had to show proof of vaccination and a negative Covid test just to get in the door. Bella did not go to the gala, and she later posted a photo of herself getting the vaccine as a way to say “I just didn’t go to the gala this year but I am vaccinated!” Now, Anwar Hadid is probably a different story, but this post isn’t about him.

Anyway, while Gigi didn’t make a big show about getting vaxxed, she wasn’t hiding it either. For much of the past two years, she’s been on her farm in Pennsylvania, staying socially distanced and nesting with Zayn Malik and their daughter Khai. But she’s back to work this month, walking in runway shows at New York Fashion Week and Milan Fashion Week and probably London Fashion Week too. I guess people have been getting too close to her as she travels, so she put this request on her social media:

To the beautiful fans- outside of shows,appointments,etc during the rest of fashion month, I need to stay socially distanced in respect of COVID workplace protocol & testing. For a pic, pls keep some space & I’ll jump in the background of your selfie:) Thank u for understanding❤️

also — pls wear a mask.

I’m glad Gigi is still behaving responsibly and that she’s encouraging other people to do the same. Even when you’re vaccinated and testing negative for Covid, you should still take some precautions – wearing a mask when you’re indoors around other people, or just simple social distancing precautions. Plus, her baby isn’t vaccinated and she’s probably very worried about bringing anything home to Khai.
