Education
Initially, Gigi attended Malibu High School, which she finished in 2013. While there, she was captain of the varsity volleyball team and a competitive horseback rider. From the fall of 2013, Gigi studied criminal psychology at The New School in New York City. However, she left the educational establishment and instead focused on her modeling career.
Gigi's modeling career began when, at the age of two, she was spotted by Paul Marciano, Guess co-founder and family friend. After striking poses for Baby Guess, Guess Kids, and finally Guess, Hadid took a break from modeling in favor of competitive horseback riding and club volleyball play. Desiring to "have a normal childhood and go to high school," she became captain of the varsity volleyball team at Malibu High School and even went to Junior Olympic qualifiers for volleyball. In 2013, she entered The New School in New York City, however, left the educational establishment the same year after signing her first professional contract with IMG Models.
Hadid made her New York Fashion Week debut walking in Desigual's runway show in February 2014. However, she credits French fashion editor Carine Roitfeld for her big break when she put her on the cover of her spring 2014 CR Fashion Book.
In July 2014, Gigi appeared alongside Patrick Schwarzenegger in Tom Ford's Eyewear autumn/winter campaign, before going on to star in other various fashion and fragrance campaigns for the designer later that year. By January 2015, Maybelline had also named her as their brand ambassador.
Her first appearance on the runway for Victoria's Secret's famed fashion show in December 2015 came on the heels of two failed auditions to be an Angel. Hadid previously told Vogue that after the first rejection, she felt she was too nervous and hadn't gained enough self-confidence to succeed. She officially earned her Victoria's Secret wings while making her second appearance in the show the following year.
It was in 2016, that Hadid became Tommy Hilfiger's global brand ambassador and went on to collaborate with the designer on a capsule collection, which she debuted at New York Fashion week that fall. That same year, she began walking in runway shows for designers, including Versace, Chanel, Elie Saab, Fendi, Marc Jacobs, Anna Sui, Miu Miu, Balmain, and Diane Von Furstenberg. Hadid went on to debut a boot collection with Stuart Weitzman and also became a Reebok brand ambassador.
During her modeling career, Gigi has appeared on the covers of different fashion magazines, including Vogue (United States, Paris, Italy, Britain, Japan, Spain, Australia, Brazil, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, China), Schön!, Numéro, Allure, W Magazine and Teen Vogue. She was also featured on the covers of the Wall Street Journal, Elle Canada, Dazed and Harper's Bazaar (USA, Malaysia).
As for Gigi's TV and film appearances, her first acting experience came, when she appeared in a 2012 American Film Institute conservatory thesis project, a short film, called Virgin Eyes. In 2015, she appeared as Slay-Z in Taylor Swift's "Bad Blood" music video. In addition to appearing in music videos with Miguel, Calvin Harris, Simpson, Jonas, and Malik, she also directed DNCE's 2015 "Cake by the Ocean" clip.
Hadid appeared on reality television alongside her mother Yolanda in Bravo's The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills between 2012 and 2016. Following her Housewives cameos, she expanded her reality show resume, appearing on Masterchef, Lip Sync Battle, and guest judging on RuPaul's Drag Race. She also co-hosted November 2016's American Music Awards with Saturday Night Live alum Jay Pharaoh and later appeared as herself in the 2018 ensemble heist comedy Ocean's 8.

Politics

Before the 2020 United States presidential election, Gigi posted on Instagram, encouraging her followers to vote. The post read: "If you're voting early I'm proud of you. If you mailed in your absentee ballot I'm proud of you. If you're going to the polls on November 3rd I'm proud of you. Whatever your plan, I'm proud of you. Make sure you have one."
Hadid has also spoken out in the past against Donald Trump's immigration policy.

Quotations:
"I think that not being perfect has given me the freedom to keep getting better."
"If you don't like it, don't follow me, don't watch me, cause I'm not going anywhere."
"I've always said, 'Eat clean to stay fit, have a burger to stay sane.'"
"It makes life so much easier when you can just say 'I'm human' at the end of the day."
"My biggest fear is the people I love not knowing how much I love them. I just want to remind people all the time."
"My biggest thing about being a role model is whatever I'm preaching, I'm practicing."
"I feel like I try to keep learning every time I step off a runway, I try to get better with each one."
"I've learned that if I only put my mind to one thing that I can get tunnel vision. Then I may not be as open to other opportunities because I'm so focused on one thing. I think what's worked better for me personally is I have three goals every day: be nice, work hard and make friends. Those are my daily goals, and I feel like those are the things that create opportunity and creating connections that will then lead to other things that I may not have planned for otherwise."
"I think friendships are a lot more valuable than one job. If you're going to let it ruin that, then that's stupid."
"Just be nice to people and be someone people want to work with because if people don't like working with you it's just not going to work out."
"I mostly just listen to my body."
"So many women around the world in so many different career paths and places are expected to be perfect and I know that it sounds cliché, but none of us are."
"I'm an athletic person. But I love my body because I know what it's been through to be what it is. And honestly, I'm not going to change for someone that is depressed about their life."
