Gigi Hadid Takes a Stand

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Suffolk chapter.

Last week supermodel Gigi Hadid took to Instagram to share her thoughts on body shamers’ mean comments about her figure. Naturally, supermodels get a little self-conscious too, but Hadid’s statement was so empowering, even other supermodels such as Hailey Baldwin reposted it. Her message fiercely declared, “Your mean comments don’t make me want to change my body, they don’t make me want to say no to the designers that ask me to be in their shows, and they definitely don’t change the designers opinions of me”. It’s almost inconceivable that anyone could think badly of Gigi, let alone her physique. Hadid has walked for Chanel, Versace, and many more with confidence and grace, leaving the audience in awe. Thankfully Gigi is confident enough to defend herself, and is an inspiration to girls worldwide to never let anyone else bring you down!
