Make way for this Pick of the Month that needs no introduction: Gigi Hadid! Before walking the runway in stunningly designed clothes, Hadid was born on April 23, 1995! Daughter to parents,Yolanda and Mohamed Hadid, she was raised in California along with her siblings before beginning her modeling career when she was just a toddler!

First discovered by Guess co-founder Paul Marciano, Hadid first broke in the modeling industry by featuring in Guess babies and Guess kids campaigns. After taking a break to focus on her education, Hadid returned to the industry with a bang when she signed with IMG Models in 2013. And, just like that, the rest is history!
 
Now, in 2026, Hadid is perhaps the most famous model of our generation. Modeling for big-name companies such as Tommy Hilfiger, Chanel, and even Versace, Hadid has basically done it all in the modeling industry. To me, she is basically modeling royalty!
