Before becoming the newest face of Maybelline, the top-selling cosmetics company in the world, before Gigi Hadid would team up with Taylor Swift and her "bad blood" squad....

Before she and her sister Bella would compete with the Jenner girls as Hollywood's It girls, before she would be linked to Cody Simpson, Joe Jonas, and Zayn Malik... Here is a quick account of Gigi Hadid's life and profession prior to becoming famous.


Now, Gigi is actually a nickname she was given as a child by her mother who was a model. When Gigi was only two years old, her mother decided to pass the modeling baton to her oldest daughter by having her appear as a baby model for GUESS. The family was rubbing shoulders with those in high end fashion. 

A real estate tycoon and architect, her father is thought to be worth $200 million. The young girl might theoretically pursue whatever endeavour she chooses, but modeling captured her attention at a young age and when she graduated from high school, she started back up.

On April 23, 1995, in Los Angeles, California, Jelena Nura Hadid (Gigi Hadid) was born.  Yolinda Foster, a well-known Dutch model who presently appears on "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," is her mother. Yolinda began using the nickname "Gigi" for her oldest daughter simply within the family. Then, when she was in the second grade, she was put in a class with another student named Jelena. 

When her teacher realized she was becoming seriously perplexed, she learned about the moniker "Gigi" and requested permission to use it. It then stuck with Gigi's classmates. 

Her father, Mohammed Hadid, was the only Arab student in his school when he emigrated to America from Palestine when he was a young man. He made the decision to put his education and his art first, and as a result, he went on to become one of the world's most successful designers and architects. 

He has created many more houses in addition to hotels for the Ritz Carlton. Gigi is the older sister of Isabella and Anwar. In addition, she has several step-siblings from her parents' subsequent unions. Brandon and Brody Jenner are one of them. Despite not being connected by blood, her stepfather is also their stepfather, I suppose it would still feel a little unpleasant if Gigi hooked up with one of those boys.


When Hadid was just two years old, her modeling career began when her mother's friend Paul Marciano hired her to be a child model for baby GUESS. Her parents chose to divorce one other after eight years of marriage. However, Yolinda, her mother, did fairly well. She received $3.6 million in cash as part of the divorce settlement. She also received $30 000 in child support each month. She was allowed to keep several mansions, a range rover, and an escalade. Her mother subsequently remarried David Foster, a music producer, after this divorce.

Gigi Hadid received her high school diploma from Malibu in 2013. She was a competitive horseback rider and the varsity volleyball team captain there. She made the decision to return to modeling once high school was over. She later collaborated with Marciana once more in 2012 when she was named the face of a GUESS campaign. 

Then, in 2013, Gigi made the decision to change things up and moved to New York City, the global center of fashion. She registered for a criminal psychology course at The New School, in New York. Additionally, she had previously been signed to IMG models, and she received her big break during the first week of her second semester. She participated in New York Fashion Week and appeared in CR Fashion Book editorials.

She then started to show up in almost everything. There were paper magazines, adolescent mags, and vogue. The girl looked amazing and her face was everywhere.
