The only thing that distinguishes Gigi Hadid the street style star from Gigi Hadid the supermodel is whether or not there's a runway underneath her. Seriously — this girl's outfits are so good, we often find our mouths agape just staring at her #OOTDs. It's like she walked straight out of an ad campaign — "Sneakers with that dress?!" we find ourselves saying. But how does that work?
Hot bod and long, lean legs aside, Gigi's got a true grasp on fashion, meaning she knows how to construct a polished ensemble from top to bottom, one that'll flatter her figure but also appear sophisticated and effortless. The good news? We know how she does it. Read on to find 50 styling tricks we stole straight from this birthday girl, then get out there and work them yourself.
A little pink bag? How feminine and fun!
Layer it over your go-to striped dress, and complete with high-tops.
Forget the curls and all the glamour: just sweep your hair up, and add flat sandals.
. . . Your leather jacket.
You won't look like you're trying too hard to stand out, but you will — every time.
Always be checking yourself. What can you ADD?
It's how you achieve a look that's "clean."
And there's a good chance it's just a skinny belt.
Gigi topped hers off with a printed cardigan and Krewe Du Optic sunglasses.
If you're going for a print, choose vertical stripes! It'll elongate your figure.
If it means you get to wear the sexiest dress of your life.
Ease yourself into the trend — don't overdo it.
Accent them with more black details, like the rope on Gigi's beaded belt.
If she's tucking in her white blouse, you can wear black, and try a different silhouette.
You'll instantly appear more sophisticated than you would in a crewneck.
Go for darker on the bottom — it'll make your legs appear more toned.
Got pockets? Show them off! But keep it subtle. Don't bury your bracelets in them.
Strut your stuff, keep your head held high, and we promise you won't trip.
Show a hint of your midriff by tying up your shirt and put on your statement sneakers. That was easy.
Your Adidas sneakers and a neutral satchel help to break up the shades.
An outfit that's a mixed bag never turns out well.
All black is extra fierce.
Don't over-accessorize. Let your inner glow provide the additional shine.
Wear your own name on your jersey — but flaunt it with pride.
Gigi's pointed-toe booties mimic the triangles of her buttoned vest, adding geometric structure to a ladylike dress.
Don't just rock it with your miniskirt or high-waisted cutoffs, try low-slung cargos and sleek statement booties instead.
Even if it already hugs your curves, a thin belt will accentuate and flatter your waist even more.
Gigi loves her trainer sneakers, so she used her Yeezy Boosts to look more low-key for a concert.
Dare to try both tricks with the very same outfit.
It can be stylish, yes, but choose which piece you want to stand out, and make sure it's in the spotlight.
