Maybe because sister Bella has resumed her public appearances, or maybe because of the Thom Browne gown she wore to the 2024 Met Gala—a gown that required 13,500 hours to build and 2.8 million meticulously embroidered beads—Gigi Hadid’s fashion cup appears to have been refilled. She exudes confidence like a person who has been judged by High Fashion Twitter and triumphed.
That example, following the Met Gala, she was listed on many best-dressed lists. The model was seen entering the CBS Studios yesterday afternoon. She was wearing Re/Done denim and a Showtime shirt dress from her line, Guest In Residence, and she had a tiny Miu Miu Arcadie bag hanging between her fingers. The fact that she was wearing jewel-encrusted stilettos—rather than slippers or tasseled loafers—that will produce a Carrie Bradshaw-shaped halo around even the most casual dressers may have contributed to her appearance of being rejuvenated, reawakened, even.
Take this ensemble as a sophisticated take on the model-off-duty template, which has straight-legged jeans and shrunken white T-shirts. Hadid is known to wear these styles throughout the summer, as seen by her appearances here, here, and here. Unbuttoned at the waist, this knit shirt dress is a bit more sophisticated than that tried-and-true recipe, but I’m sure Hadid gave it the moniker “Showtime” for a reason.
