About a decade ago, the world was introduced to the Hadid sisters, who then proceeded to take the fashion world by storm.
Supermodels Gigi Hadi Bella Hadid, rose to fame as teens after first appearing with their mom Yolanda HadidFormer model: The Real Housewives of Beverly HillsIn the middle of the ’00s.
Reality TV was not their passion. It was more the runway. At 18 years old, Gigi was the first to walk on the runway at Desigual’s Fall 2014 Fashion Week show. Six months later, at Desigual’s NYFW Spring 2015 show in September 2014, Bella, then 17, made her own show-stopping debut.
Fast-forward to today and Gigi, 26, and Bella, 25, are now among the most sought-after supermodels in the world, and have walked runways for brands such as Chanel, Versace, Moschino and Victoria’s Secret.
Their venture into fashion has paid off, with Gigi ranked no. 7 on Forbes’ list of the highest-paid models of 2018, with an estimated $9.5 million in annual earnings, thanks in part to her branded collections for Tommy Hilfiger, Maybelline, Messika jewelry and Vogue eyewear and Reebok.
