In the lead up to her 20th birthday this year, she requested simply for a gift of “@McDonalds (or other food) gift cards to keep in wallet to give to those I pass on the streets of NYC” on twitter.
Her little sister is an aspiring model too…
Gigi’s 19-year old sis, Bella, signed to IMG Model Management last year. And there's no sibling rivalry to speak of - they could not be more supportive of one another. 'Honestly, I’m her biggest fan,' says Bella of her big sister’s success. 'When people ask me who my best friend is I always tell them it’s my sister. If anything, I know that Gigi just inspires me to work a little harder. I want to follow in her footsteps. I want to one day walk in Chanel, too.' One to watch next fashion week.
She first started modeling when she was 2 years old
She might be the hottest ‘rising star’ in the modeling industry right now, but this girls been working it since she was a toddler – modeling for Baby Guess.

Alongside sharing the catwalk, Gigi and Kendall share family ties with the reality TV world. Hadid’s Dutch-American mum, Yolanda Foster (also a former model), recently starred in one of our guilty pleasures - The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
