Model to mum-to-be: 50 photos that chart Gigi Hadid's style journey


Emma Day

She may only be 25, but Gigi Hadid has been a staple of the fashion scene for much of the past decade.

The supermodel, who worked as a child model before scoring her first big campaign in 2012 for Guess, is one of the fashion industry's most famous faces.

And, as expected of someone who showcases the season's most cutting-edge looks on runways around the world, Hadid has a finger firmly pressed on the fashion pulse off-duty, too.

The model, who announced this month that she is expecting her first child with boyfriend Zayn Malik, has been snapped in everything from avant-garde separates to classic, flowing gowns on pavements, red carpets and parties.

While Hadid's personal style veers more towards streetwear, she's also a solid player at the annual Met Gala, dressing up in high-octane ensembles by Versace, Michael Kors and Tommy Hilfiger.

Here, we chart her style evolution since she broke on to the scene.

Scroll through the gallery above to see more images of Gigi Hadid through the years.

Real estate tokenisation project

Dubai launched the pilot phase of its real estate tokenisation project last month.

The initiative focuses on converting real estate assets into digital tokens recorded on blockchain technology and helps in streamlining the process of buying, selling and investing, the Dubai Land Department said.

Dubai’s real estate tokenisation market is projected to reach Dh60 billion ($16.33 billion) by 2033, representing 7 per cent of the emirate’s total property transactions, according to the DLD.
