Gigi Hadid is incredibly adept at pulling off attention-grabbing ensembles during glamorous events and in her everyday fashion choices. Whether she’s gracing a red carpet or strolling through the city streets, she consistently embodies the epitome of high-end fashion.

On Wednesday, May 8, the 29-year-old wealthy American supermodel showcased one of her trademark off-duty looks as she made her way to CBS Studios for an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show.
Despite opting for a more laid-back attire, I admire how Gigi exuded effortless style, embracing quiet luxury while infusing a fresh charm into classic spring essentials.
Effortlessly Chic in Cream Guest in Residence Shirt Dress
During her daytime excursion, Gigi Hadid returned a nostalgic style trick from the early 2000s by donning a dress over pants, adding her elevated, supermodel touch.
Embracing a relaxed yet stylish vibe, she started her ensemble with a cream-toned Showtime shirt dress from her personal clothing line, Guest in Residence.

Her flowing semi-sheer attire boasted a shirt collar, long sleeves, ankle-length design, and a front button closure, left mostly undone from the waist down, teasing a glimpse of her midriff underneath.
Reinterpreting the once-controversial 2000s trend, I appreciate how Zayn Malik’s ex layered a polo sweater atop slouchy Re/Done Originals The Loose Long denim pants in a timeless wasted indigo wash, injecting a sense of effortless coolness. You can buy them at Revolve.
The distressed jeans, echoing the low-rise style of the 2000s era, featured a loose fit around the hips and a lengthy, straight leg crafted from rigid, non-stretch cotton denim, providing a structured appearance with a relaxed, puddled effect at the hem.

Gigi emphasized her petite waist with a gold chain belt adorned with a turquoise snakeskin buckle to accentuate her relaxed blue trousers.
She embraced another contemporary trend by selecting her footwear. To complete her attire, she slipped into glittery Miu Miu sheer nude heels boasting pointed toes, shimmering rhinestone embellishments, and slender stiletto heels, subtly enhancing her model-esque stature.
Embracing High Fashion with Statement Accessories
Gigi Hadid flaunted her fondness for accessorizing and high fashion by showcasing diamond-adorned jewelry pieces.
I particularly admire how she embellished her ensemble with striking silver necklaces, notably the dazzling Jacquie Aiche Pave + Baguette Diamond Gemstone Lock Smooth Bar necklace, accompanied by coordinating gold earrings and multiple rings.

The sleek brown cat-eye Dmy by Dmy’s Romi sunglasses she wore to shield her eyes lent a touch of Hollywood allure to her street-style look.
Gigi opted for a nude version of her favorite Miu Miu “Arcadie” leather minibag for her daytime must-haves. Her beige Miu Miu logo plaque mini bag can be yours for $3,050 at Farfetch.
Regarding her glam, she revealed her fresh new bob styled with a daytime flair by parting it down the middle. I appreciate her choice of understated makeup, complete with a lustrous bright red lip.
Dramatic in White Thom Browne Gown at the 2024 Met Gala
Two days before her captivating street-style display, Gigi Hadid made a grand entrance as she ascended the steps of the 2024 Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on Monday, May 6.
Interpreting the night’s theme of “The Garden of Time” dramatically and literally, she captivated the crowd with her outfit adorned with romantic floral motifs.

Embodying the essence of the Costume Institute’s latest exhibit, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” it’s as if she brought the entire garden to life through her attire.
For this momentous occasion, the Next in Fashion star captured attention with a magnificent custom creation by Thom Browne, renowned for his minimalist yet impactful suiting-inspired designs.
Seeing Gigi donning this New York City-based label for the first time at a Met Gala makes me happy, especially with her stunning look. This rendition of the designer’s signature style is the height of glamour.
Her breathtaking ensemble consisted of a sleek white column dress featuring off-the-shoulder straps and a figure-hugging hourglass silhouette.

The full-length gown also boasted a corseted bodice with lacing along the back and a daring thigh-high slit at the center, teasing a glimpse of her leg for added allure before gracefully cascading to the floor in a subtle train.
Gigi’s attire also showcased remarkable craftsmanship. Twenty artisans dedicated 5,000 hours to hand-embroidering 2.8 million micro bugle beads onto the dress.
Among the intricate details, I admire the 3D single yellow rose and green leaves adorning the waistline, adding a charming touch to her attire.
Intricate Detailing of the Voluminous Hand-Embroidered Overskirt
However, the detachable, whimsical white silk overskirt and train of Gigi Hadid’s dress capture my attention the most. Upon closer inspection, it resembles a deconstructed tuxedo jacket cascading down her hips.
I am particularly impressed by the intricate embellishment of the sweeping skirt, which required a team of 40 individuals and 8,500 hours to embroider.
This embroidered detailing included hand-beaded green thorn appliqués, winding vines, and a plethora of sunny yellow rosettes adorning a multi-layer train edged in contrasting black duchesse satin.

With meticulous attention to every tiny detail, the billowy outfit was crafted by a team of over 70 artisans who dedicated over 13,500 hours to handcrafting the attire entirely from scratch.
Gigi Hadid expressed awe at the skill and effort invested in her ensemble, sharing with Vogue, “In my final fitting, I finally got to see the 3D pieces and just hold them.”
Proudly, she added, “Just one rose on my outfit in itself is a work of art, and the amount of hours and people’s work that went into this dress is just incredible. It’s an honor for me to be able to present this for them, and I always walk the carpet with that in mind. I’m very proud of their work.”

Meanwhile, the oversized ruffled skirt was so expansive that five handlers were required to manage the dramatic design as Gigi entered the venue.
When a reporter asked about the weight of her train, she promptly responded, “40 pounds,” after consulting with those assisting her.
Elevating Elegance with Delicate Finishing Touches
One delightful detail of Gigi Hadid’s ensemble was her choice of footwear, which mostly remained concealed beneath the billowing skirt.
The runway regular slipped her feet into a pair of yellow and white pumps by Thom Browne. The shoes featured pointed toes and slim stiletto heels, adding a generous lift to her statuesque frame.

Her larger-than-life attire commanded attention, so I appreciate that Gigi and her longtime stylist, Mimi Cuttrell, whose clientele includes Ariana Grande and Maude Apatow, opted for understated accessories.
She accented her ensemble with a dazzling Chopard Haute Joaillerie necklace in 18k white and yellow gold, adorned with over 50 carats of diamonds, complemented by matching Chopard Haute Joaillerie diamond drop earrings.
Bradley Cooper’s girlfriend wore a sparkling Chopard Haute Joaillerie ring and a shiny Chopard L’heure Du Diamant ring on her fingers, adding more sparkle.

It’s admirable how Gigi fully embraced the garden-inspired dress code, extending the theme to her fingertips. Celebrity nail artist Mei Kawajiri crafted a manicure that showcased a modern twist on the classic French style. The manicure was embellished with 3D yellow flower accents atop a rich layer of nude polish.
Gigi chose a glamorous old Hollywood-inspired look for her hair and makeup. She styled her dirty blonde locks into a bob adorned with vintage curls, maintaining an elegant simplicity.
Complementing this classic hairstyle, Gigi wore a subtle blush on her cheeks and opted for a striking bold red lip, achieved with Maybelline Super Stay vinyl ink lipstick.
