Gigi Hadid, by profession, is a chameleon. Whether she’s walking a runway or starring in a global fashion campaign, she’s always ready to step into character and help bring a designer’s vision to life. But while her job is to be a blank canvas, Hadid’s off-duty style is bold, bright, and totally singular.

While we can always count on her to wear something colorful, classic model style serves as the base of Hadid’s wardrobe. White tees and jeans are often the jumping-off point, elevated with stacks of charm necklaces or brightly hued sweaters. (It certainly helps that her cashmere brand, Guest in Residence, is at her disposal, there to liven up any look.)

Over her many years in the public eye, Hadid’s fashion sense has stayed largely consistent: eclectic and fun-loving—a mix of supermodel and California kid.

In Elements of Style, we’re distilling a celebrity’s fashion sense into its most basic components. Here, we break down the five key pieces in Gigi Hadid’s closet.


Sumptuous Knits

It comes as no surprise that a woman with a cashmere line wears a lot of knitwear. Whether she’s in a trendy robe coat or a tried-and-true pullover, Hadid’s wide-reaching knitwear collection infuses plenty of color into her wardrobe.

Statement-Making Headwear
