Lily Aldridge may not be the most talked-about person in Taylor Swift‘s #squadgoals circle, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t an integral part of the group.

In fact, model-of-the-moment Gigi Hadid was sweet enough to do a shoutout on her Twitter page to celebrate their third year of friendship.

Lily hit the red carpet of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit release night alongside her gal pal Gigi in New York.

The model wore a sexy backless red dress that plunged down at the front. It featured a high-low hem with a thigh-high slit down the front.

Lily put the cherry on top of her outfit with a pair of satin, jewel-embellished sandals. The entire look, including the custom-made heels, is from Alexandre Vauthier.

Gigi credits the friendship to the length of time she has been posing for SI Swimsuit, which is where we presume the two met.
