But for me, the real star of 2015 in terms of fashion has to be Gigi Hadid. If you haven't heard of her, you must have literally been living under a rock for the past year, as this 20 year old has been making headlines again and again with her fashion week catwalk appearances, famous circle of celeb friends, scrutinizing love life and successful fashion career. She has topped best dressed lists everywhere, appeared on a number of international issues of Vogue, walked for Victoria's Secret, Marc Jacobs and DvF to name just a few, modeled for the famous Pirelli calender, became a Maybelline and Topshop ambassador and bagged herself Zayn Malik, all in 1 year. Oh yeah, and she has over 10 million followers on Instagram. Let's all toast to Gigi!
Jelena Noura 'Gigi' Hadid was born in California 1995, to Yolanda Foster (from the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills) and her wealthy father Mohamed Hadid. She began modelling at the tender age of 2 for Guess, but then later really focused on modelling in 2014 walking for several high profile designers. Growing up with the Jenner sisters and the Baldwins in the glitzy world of Beverly Hills, Gigi is often photographed with her tight circle of famous friends, who also include Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber and Karlie Kloss, as well as her younger sister Bella who has also followed Gigi into modelling. Representing the all American girl, Gigi has an amazing sense of style. I loved her look at Coachella with her white dress, headband and relaxed vibe, while her off duty model style which consists of her blonde hair scraped back into a messy bun, black leggings and an over sized coat is effortless and chic. Okay, so yes it helps that she's 5'10, slim and beautiful but she also carries fashion very well and has been well and truly accepted by the industry. At the Met Gala in May, Gigi dazzled in a plunging red Diane von Furstenberg dress, she chose a stunning Versace number for the Oscars after party in March and worked the paparazzi in a yellow frock at the VMA's, showing off her deep tan. Red carpet appearances just come so naturally for her. Her very revealing white gown at the AMFAR party in Cannes sparked a mini meltdown on Twitter as did her floor length dress at the American Music Awards, while her gold jumpsuit at the CFDA Awards was given the thumbs up by the fashion police, showing that conservative dressing is sometimes just as effective than just flashing the flesh. Even when out and about, Gigi always looks immaculate. She recently stepped out in an amazing camel outfit, with her mini dress, heeled shoes, sunglasses and coat, which was flung casually over her shoulders, all in the same beige shade.
On other occasions, you would probably see Gigi rushing across New York in a pair of ripped jeans and t-shirt, or maybe a sporty crop top and shorts. Maybe she inherited her fashionable genes from her mother Yolanda, also a former model, but whatever the reason when it comes to getting in right every time, Gigi has nailed it. While backstage at fashion shows, she looks comfortable and stylish in a roll neck jumper and leather leggings, make-up minimal and simple. Or even when hanging out with Lewis Hamilton at Formula 1, wearing a chic pair of white trousers and an asymmetric top, this young lady always plays it simple and scores every time. Her new cropped hair style also looks amazing, and it's only a matter of time before everyone copies her look.
So what is your favorite Gigi moment of 2015? There is definitely a lot to chose from, so I've put together some of my personal fav fashion moments, but you can be sure there will be plenty more for 2016.
