Fashion critics came out for the most awaited night for the British fashion industry. Gigi Hadid slayed the runway during the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show this year and bagged the International Model of the Year category in the British Fashion Awards held at the Royal Albert Hall.
Wearing an Atelier Versace silver jumpsuit, the 21-year-old model Gigi Hadid was crowned as the top model, beating her sister Bella Hadid at the British Fashion Awards 2016 in London on Dec. 5. The award was presented by the legendary fashion designer Donatella Versace.
In a report by Footwear News, the model was nominated together with sister Bella Hadid, Kendal Jenner, Adwoa Aboah, and Lineisy Montero. Other winners for the fashion event in various categories also include Alessandro Michele, Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen, Molly Godard, Craig Green and Demna Gvasiala for Balenciaga and other people who showed exemplary performance in the fashion industry.
The model's beau, Zayn Malik, was nowhere in sight and Gigi walked the red carpet without him. Although her boyfriend was not in attendance, the model's proud mother who is also a former model herself, Yolanda Hadid, joined her daughter on the red carpet in London.
According to Mirror, the chief executive of the British Fashion Council, Caroline Rush CBE, said that both the Hadid sisters have different personalities and are very young. "Both are incredibly talented models but the nominations show that our voting panel also recognizes the power of social media," Rush said, "both young women are brilliant examples of businesswomen who have been able to harness the consumer demand to engage with the personality."
