Gigi Hadid was an undoubted sensation at the recent Met Gala, setting tongues wagging and flashbulbs popping. The iconic model graced the event in an intricate silver Michael Kors Collection jumpsuit, complemented by a custom-made hat by Stephen Jones. A cryptic social media post with three sparkle emojis prior to the event only heightened the anticipation of her Met Gala look, which was confirmed with an extra fitting session mere days before the event.
Jones described the thought process behind the glamorous hat, which was intended to serve as the ultimate headgear accessory. Bearing a similarity to the headpieces designed for the previous Michael Kors show, this standout piece was gleaming with glitter to ensure the red carpet sparkle was well represented.
Interestingly, Hadid attended the previous year’s Met Gala unaccompanied, where she was seen sharing a moment with Selena Gomez. Her attire was a gown bearing a resemblance to a stained glass window, perfect for the heavenly theme ‘Fashion & The Catholic Imagination’ of the Met Gala that year.
Reflecting on past appearances, Hadid sported a semi-tulle, semi-mini nude dress for the 2017 Met Gala:
During the 2016 Met Gala, the fashion diva was accompanied by Zayn Malik, her then-boyfriend. Malik made a statement with a robotic arm while Hadid looked stunning in a grey gown with a silver bodice:
Speculations were rife about Hadid’s love life as she attended the gala without a plus one. The model reportedly called it quits with Malik in early November. However, Malik continues to admire Hadid publicly, applauding her love and support through a tweet.
Insider reports suggested that Hadid and Malik still keep in touch and share mutual fondness. However, they also highlight differing issues that make them incompatible, leading to the conclusion that Hadid is very much single. Soon after the breakup, Malik expressed his love for Hadid via Twitter, sparking hopeful rumors amongst their fans about a potential reunion.
