Gigi Hadid Ditches the Typical Birthday Dress For Something Even Sexier

When it comes to standout birthday outfits — especially for that big 2-1 — it's easy to have a one-track mind: a sweet yet sexy dress that'll turn every head in the room and help us welcome the new year in style. But Gigi Hadid is not your typical fashion gal. While the model surely had her pick of Balmain body-cons and low-cut jumpsuits for her party, she opted for a tight pair of shorts and a satin cami, spicing up the look with layered chokers and — whoa, baby! — thigh-high boots.

It was pretty much the opposite of what you'd expect a birthday ensemble to be, making us love Gigi even more. Scroll through for a new idea of what to wear for your own sexy celebration (if you dare), then check out the star's birthday swimsuit, which was equally cute.
