This week, Gigi Hadid, the renowned supermodel of Dutch and Palestinian descent from the United States, made her way to New York City to grace the red carpet at The Manhattan Center for the Victoria’s Secret World Tour 2023 event.
The 28-year-old runway sensation had been actively promoting the tour on her Instagram, and for the occasion, she elegantly donned a vibrant, form-fitting yellow dress from the Fall/Winter 2023 ready-to-wear collection of the Italian fashion label Ferragamo. She completed her look with a sleek, slicked-back hairstyle and complemented it with black patent leather heels.
Interestingly, Gigi Hadid wasn’t the sole Arab model in attendance at the event. Dutch-Moroccan-Egyptian model Imaan Hammam also graced the occasion, striking poses against the Victoria’s Secret backdrop. Hammam flaunted a leather ensemble featuring a cropped top and a miniskirt, accentuated by her iconic curly hair.
The star-studded event saw the presence of other notable runway celebrities, such as Naomi Campbell, Emily Ratajkowski, Adrian Lima, Winnie Harlow, and Madonna’s daughter, Lourdes Leon. Also in attendance was the US Somali model Halima Aden, who sported a brown leather dress with a black undershirt and brown heeled boots.
The annual Victoria’s Secret show, now known as the “VS Fashion Show Reimagined,” is set to premiere on Amazon Prime Video on September 26, marking its return after a four-year hiatus. This anticipated show will be available for streaming in over 50 countries and will feature performances by artists Doja Cat and Sabrina Carpenter. The show promises to take viewers on a captivating journey through the cities of Bogota, Lagos, London, and Tokyo.
Gigi Hadid’s week was indeed eventful as she also shared exciting news about her brand, Guest in Residence, announcing the availability of their Fall 2023 collection on Net-a-Porter. She expressed her delight to her 79.1 million followers, emphasizing the exclusive styles, colors, and global shipping options offered.
Furthermore, her collaboration with the French luxury label Jacquemus bore fruit this week, with the brand releasing videos and pictures from their campaign featuring Hadid. In these visuals, she was seen gracefully donning circular-shaped dresses, adding to her ever-growing portfolio.
